InBody Dial H20 Body Composition Scale Most Accurate Smart Scale with BMI Body Fat Muscle Mass Weight Scale

Let me start by saying that I have tried other body fat (bf %) measuring scales out there, and I can finally say that there is no need to purchase another any time soon. I have the Omron HBF-516 scale that puts me at 18%-20% body fat. I am nowhere near this, and depending on the day and hydration levels, it will vary greatly even dropping to 16% at night, then 19.5% in the morning. This scale didn't have a athlete mode or anything like that, so it doesn't account for muscle mass. I definitely question how much of the BIA technology it actually uses in order to make a calculation since I did notice increases in bf% related to weight increases, at times. I have tried other step on BIA scales that don't have the handles, and these mostly use your age, height, and weight to make a educated guess. Don't waste your money on these unless you need just a regular scale. These put me at 17-19% body fat, and they are directly related to your weight, which is wrong. When my weight went up, my body fat % went up. This isn't always true. Right when I saw this InBody H20N advertised, I ordered it, and went to get my bf % on a professional grade version which had me at 12.5% body fat. Two weeks using the scale and my bf % readings have averaged at 13.1%. It's been within 1% of that initial reading which I hope it drops a little more. The only thing close to this reading was the Omron handheld HBF-306C that they have at the gyms. The problem with this one is that it's only an upper body reading, but a good thing is that it does have athlete mode which dropped .5-1% bf. This fat loss monitor can work for me since I mostly store my bf in my mid section, so it makes sense why it would be more accurate to ME, but may not be to others if they have bf on their lower body. I had a hard time giving this Inbody 5 stars since there is always something that needs to be improved, and its expensive. Although, the quality of the scale, accuracy, ease of use of the app and easy pairing with Bluetooth with Android, makes it hard for it to not get 5 stars; it does everything right. The app may not be the best design, but it gives you what you need, and it does it well. It does offer weight syncing to Samsung health, and Apple. This is the best scale you can get for at home use. Your bf% will never be 100% accurate, but this has giving me the closest reading comparted to my physical look and body fat % chart pictures. This is a good long term investment. Read more

I own two of these in different states and have found them both reliable and consistent. When it comes to reducing my percentage body fat, these scales consistently show me the direction/trend of changes in my body composition. They are not marketed for their absolute precision (e.g., is my %BF 17.4 or 17.7 today?). They are designed to give you insight on changes in %BF and the approximate figures. While those metrics jump around a bit due, I think, to water retention levels, the trends in the metrics appear solid - and motivational. The blind “Rankings” data is especially powerful for those with a competitive gene. By contrast, the daily numbers for body weight (I.e., the simple scale dimension of the H20N is rock solid (the numbers do not bounce around) and matches weight precisely with my medical grade, solid steel, mechanical beam and balance scale.

Biggest issue up front: The ability to connect to the app and see historical data was buggy on the best days. It would regularly take 5 to 10 minutes to get them to sync up. And you had to do it every time you use the scale. Sometimes it won't sync at all. Recently, after owning it for less than three months it stopped connecting to the app at all. Without being able to see the data this scale is useless to me. I tested this scale side by side with the commercial version of the inbody scale. It was close but had quiet a bit a variability in the measurements, even when taken back to back measurements. So it's not good for accuracy, but you might be able to see the trends over time. Unfortunately, the app shows the datapoints equally spaced, so measurements taken one day apart look the same as measurements taken on month apart. This makes viewing trends difficult. You would have to record the data and plot it all out yourself. The build of the scale feels VERY cheap. The plastic feels very cheap and thin. I don't know how long it would hold up physically if it didn't already break. Overall, absolutely not worth the money. The inconstancy of the connection and the inconvenience of having to sync every time you use it made it more trouble than it was worth even when it worked. Breaking after three months is not ok, even for a cheap product. And this is not a cheap product. Read more
