VIVA Body Composition Monitor and Scale with Bluetooth

Works flawlessly and provides meaningful, accurate data through the OMRON Connect app. The set-up was simple and it connected instantly to the app. The OMRON Viva smart scales also look smart and fit in with more households and their decor. I’ve had mine for over a year and I would recommend them to anyone over a no-name Chinese brand product or the Withings smart scales that I previously owned.

First Body Composition Monitor and scale. As I was already using Going Fit set up was very easy and straight forward with all data immediately transferred and updated. Manual set up was equally as straight forward for my partner who does not use Google fit or have a smart phone currently; any one in this position is best advised to check and right down your personal details for easy access when completing manual entry. Most important is the accuracy of information entered as all calculations will be based on this to produce accurate and meaningful results. DOB, Gender, Height (get these wrong for vanity or any other reason and results will be rubbish). All you need to do now is stand on your scale on a hard surface an not carpets or soft flooring and in a few seconds your weight will be displayed on the screen. Other information will also be displayed that can be written down if your not using the Bluetooth connection or transferred within seconds to your device if you do have one connected. Having read reviews before my purchase of the Omron Viva a number of reviewers were concerned about accuracy, this can easily be achieved by using the guest option entering dummy data as on this occasion you are only weighing to confirm accuracy for your own piece of mind, when asked to add weight (stand on the Scale) add any fairly heavy item of a known weight. I used a container filled with tins that I had previously calculated the weigh of and when lowered on the scale the weight displayed on the scale was identical to my calculated weight of tins and bottles. Very accurate. As advises I weigh my self at the same time every day for the best and most accurate results, it's no good eating or drinking before you weigh and wonder why the results are not identical. There will of course be instances where the scale is not accurate such as when used by athletes, body builders who will require specialist equipment to achieve the results provided by the Omron Viva however for most people these scales and composition monitor will produce good accurate results when used in conjunction with the manufacturers instruction manual that is also clear and easy to read. In my opinion this is a very good and easy first body composition monitor to use and manufactured by a large company you can trust. P.s if using the connect app you can also use the app to easily combine results from other OMRON products enabling personal health details to be forwarded to your health professionals for detailed analysis on you self monitoring. Really good piece of equipment when purchased at the right price as this does seem to vary considerably.

I bought this scales as it was on offer but I was looking for one of these anyway having already gotten the Omron Evolv Blood Pressure monitor, then this is part of the same ecosystem. OK, being a fatso, a word of warning, this scales only reads up to 150Kg which is 23 stones and 6 lb in old school English money, (it reads Stones and Kg) so if you are a little overweight and have a high BMI this will max out at that, that means like me you'll need to lose a bit of weight for it to start to work, kind of ironic that it has an upper limit if you want to use it as weight tracking aid... Onto its functions, it connects to the Omron app fine, I don't think I am getting the smoothness that it should but it updates to the app fine. In my App ecosystem, I have Google Fit which will read the data from this device but not the Blood Pressure Monitor, (which is a separate device not included) apparently you need some sort of Google Approved key to write BP data to Google Fit and Omron, isn't probably a big enough company to get such a key (!) rollseyes... the data then transfers through Google fit to Myfitnesspal as well which is really handy. You must use it on a flat hard floor, if you have any of the weight sensors on each corner not fully on the floor then you will have a bad reading, I have a tiled floor, which has small ridges in it so I have to check they are all down correctly or it will read incorrect. Additionally, in the pictures it shows that the scales is stored on its side, this too is a no-no why it shows it I don't know but it must be stored flat as it does little checks on its own now and again, and on its side it doesn't like it. If you have any implanted medical devices, and specifically a pacemaker this one is not for you, it analyses your body composition with a small electrical current, it probably tries to find your electrical resistance and that will disturb any implanted devices so its a no go for you. Fortunately I haven't got any bionics so for me I am good to go. Finally on its accuracy, then its good, I had a medical shortly after purchase and the data I got from this was almost identical to the readings at the medical centre so you can use it with confidence.

If you are in the market for a smart scale that you can use to accurately weigh yourself and track relevant health metrics, this scale is perfect for you. I bought this smart scale after having a nightmare of a time dealing with our Withings scale. It feels like it is impossible to find a smart scale that doesn't have any issues. I decided on this one since I used OMRON in the past (analog days) and found them to be accurate. I've used this scale for a month and a half now. This scale is accurate, quick, and works as you expect. The OMRON app works extremely well and syncs brilliantly with IOS and Apple Health. Since the connection is also bluetooth, you don't have to fuss with WiFi connectivity to work. The scale is accurate and can detect very small changes in weight. Weighing is also consistent with the Withings scale. Cannot comment on accuracy of bodyfat % but it is well known to use trends vs hard and fast numbers with a bodyfat scale. Overall, this is a great scale to get if you are looking for a smart scale

Doesn’t work ! It Connected once by Bluetooth, and never again. New batteries, reinstalled the app, even tried a new iPad, no joy. I contacted Omron support, they didn’t reply. Utter waste of money, I should have bought a cheap generic model.

Absolutely love these scales. I'm new to this checking more than just your weight scene, but it does make you focus your mind on other aspects of weight loss. I'd never heard of visceral fat etc until I got these, and yet it's soo important in the weight loss journey. (In my case can be a little frustrating though, 14 down to 13, down to 12, then to 11, only to go up to 12 again.... I weight myself twice, two times a day (was 3 times a day! Probably because I done the same with BP machine) - unnecessary with weighing scales though... Compared with my recently purchased Omron HN300T2 scales, well, they're the scales that made me buy these VIVA scales in the first place, for weight they are great, and there's consistency, between both scales is about 0.2 difference. .. Recap: I absolutely LOVE these VIVA scales... (Bought on sale at £63) now £79 and worth every penny. Buy buy buy (before Rachel destroys everything).......... .. :-(

I’ve had this scale since August. And I recommend this product. Body weight is accurate and reliable. Fat/lean mass composition might be inaccurate (vs DEXA scan), but like with any scale, use these numbers for tracking trends. Don’t live and die by the actual body fat numbers. It’s very easy to set up with a phone. I have an iPhone 15 Pro. (Tip: Don’t panic if the numbers don’t sync immediately. Just give it a few moments or just press the bluetooth button after the weigh in to sync the latest readings. Also, you’ll find the next day that you use it, it will just sync all the readings it has locally stored but hasn’t transmitted to your phone.) Body weight measurement is very consistent and reliable. You will rarely have moments where the number changes after consecutive weigh ins. And sometimes that will have more to do with feet placement, body movement/positioning while the scale is “reading” your weight, and floor evenness. Yes, during dryer seasons the scale will throw a reading error. But I fixed that issue by just wetting my feet and then drying it a little on the bathroom rug. It’s not a product issue but just the nature of the technology. Also, wipe/clean your scales occasionally. Body composition (fat/lean mass and percentage) is not accurate. I train 6 times a week and have had 2 DEXA scans (not NHANES calibrated). I’ve noticed that the Omron scale for me is about 5 percentage points off compared to my scans. But interestingly, the body fat percentage reading is about ~1 percentage point off the DEXA reading of the body fat in my legs. (I’m female and bottom heavy.) This makes sense because it’s running the current up to my legs from my feet and I don’t think it’s able to tell what my body fat is in the top half of my body. Like with any home scale (even body fat readings like DEXA scan), you’ll never get a perfectly accurate reading of fat/lean composition and there’s always a margin of error. Home scales will definitely have a larger margin especially if you’re athletic/train a lot and if your body fat distribution is not “average” — both are very much my case. So use the readings for tracking progress, and don’t sweat the details. Added screenshots of the app to show how helpful and clean the app is too. This is what I mean by tracking trends over numbers.

Excellent, easy to use and syncs well with the Omron App. Why did you choose this product over others?: I chose this because I was already using the Omron App with a blood pressure monitor and it seemed sensible to have the information in one place. Ease of use: Easy to set up with App. For the analysis of body fat/muscle etc, I found you do need to make sure feet have some moisture on them for analysis to work. Quality: Smart (would have preferred it in white as this would look bettering my bathroom) Value for money: good

It took some time to learn how to transfer the data to my phone, but it is extremely easy to use. The information provided is very essential to control body parameters. Recommended to be used by everyone wishing to know about and to control body weight, fat, BMI, etc.
