However, many people said that they ate up the body fat scale after buying it for a period of time, or directly turned it into an ordinary weighing scale, thus thinking that the body fat scale is an IQ tax product. So is the body fat scale we are exposed to really an IQ tax?
I don't think so. I think this view is one-sided or very inaccurate, because most people with this view don't understand the principle and function of body fat scale, or it is caused by incorrect operation methods in daily use.
At present, the core hardware of the common body fat scale on the market is weight sensor and electrode plate, and the principle is BIA bioelectrical impedance analysis. Every time you step on the scale and touch the electrode plate, there will be a weak current flowing through your body. Then, according to the resistance measured by body fat, muscle and body fluid conductivity, you can get data such as body mass index and body fat rate.
In order to accurately measure data such as weight, body mass index and body fat percentage, it is necessary to use it correctly, otherwise the measured data will be inaccurate:
1. First of all, the body fat scale must be placed on a flat and hard ground before measurement, and never placed on carpets and other items for beauty, otherwise the measured data will have great errors.
2. Be sure to measure barefoot, and your feet should not be too dry or too wet. If the feet are too dry, you can wipe the scale surface with a wet towel, and if it is too wet, you can dry it with a paper towel or towel.
3. Take the correct standing posture, and ensure that your feet step on the pole piece on the scale surface evenly, and your feet can't touch each other, and your body can't swing when measuring.
4. For the accuracy of measurement, it is suggested that the time point of each measurement should be at the same time every day, that is, the same time point should be used for each measurement.
5. The fasting effect is the best before each measurement, especially before the activity.
6. Of course, in addition to the above precautions, you need to turn on Bluetooth before each measurement to match the body fat scale.
After a brief understanding of the principle and function of body fat scale, what kind of product can be called an excellent body fat scale? Personally, I think a good body fat scale should have the following characteristics:
1. Ease of use, such as the LED screen reading of the body fat scale should be clear and accurate, and the reading can be displayed in kilograms, which is more intuitive, and then the connection with the mobile APP is smooth;
2. Safety, such as the circular arc treatment of the corners of the body fat scale and the design of large non-slip foot pads, can ensure the safety of daily use;
3. accuracy. When measuring weight, body mass index, body fat rate and other data, we must ensure the accuracy of the measured data.
This time, * * experienced six different brands of body fat scale products, namely Yunmai Intelligent Body Fat Scale 3mini, Huawei Intelligent Body Fat Scale 3, Keep Body Fat Scale SE, Youpin PICOOC Intelligent Body Fat Scale Mini, Xiangshan Body Fat Scale Yun Zhi, and Good Body Fat Scale M 1 * *, each with its own characteristics in price, function and design.
Then, under the premise of mastering the measurement precautions such as placing on hard ground, barefoot measurement, fasting before use, maintaining correct standing posture, and measuring at the same time every day, which body fat scale is more worth choosing, let's find out together.
The first product we experienced was Yunmai Intelligent Body Fat Scale 3mini, which is a brand-new product released by Yunmai. Using four-electrode AC fat measurement technology, the area of sandblasting electrode is upgraded, the surface interference is reduced, and the measurement data is more sensitive and accurate. In addition, this product supports a lightweight APP, which can analyze 29 body data with one click, so that users can have a more comprehensive understanding of the body.
This body fat scale adopts a light and compact design in appearance, and its overall style is particularly simple. The ivory high-value fuselage can be easily integrated into various home improvement styles. The four corners of the fuselage are designed with large radians, and the back non-slip foot pads are designed, which is very safe.
Yunmai intelligent body fat scale 3mini also supports Type-C fast charging, which can be charged through the interface on the side of the fuselage and can be switched on and off during use to achieve the effect of intelligent power saving. It can be used for up to 180 days after being fully charged, which is particularly awesome.
Master the usage of body fat scale. After the body fat scale is successfully paired with the mobile APP, you can start measuring various data of your body. After standing barefoot on the four pole pieces of the scale, you can see the invisible high-definition LED screen at the top of the scale. This body fat scale displays readings in kilograms, and its advantage is that it is easier to read weight data.
The mobile APP for Yunmai Intelligent Body Fat Scale 3mini is "so light", which has a great advantage that it does not need complicated registration steps. Just turn on the phone and get close to it, you can connect quickly, and then the weighing prompt will appear on the LED screen of the scale and the phone page at the same time. After that, the body fat scale will measure the body mass index, body fat rate and other data, and the current measurement results will appear on the mobile app page in a few seconds.
The above picture is the measurement data obtained after one of the measurements. As we can see from the above figure, Hao Qing APP will generate a more detailed data summary, that is, a human body composition analysis report. Because it can analyze 29 items of body data with one click, it can intuitively see various information such as body mass index, body fat rate, muscle and basal metabolic rate after measurement.
After measuring the body data every time, we can not only see that as many as 29 detailed body data have a score and detailed analysis, but also see an expert's suggestion at the bottom of the data. At this time, users can reasonably adjust their diet according to the advice of experts to maintain the nutritional balance in all aspects of the body. They can also set their own target weight in the APP according to the measured physical problems, customize an efficient fat-reducing diet and tailor-made exercise plan.
In addition, the daily use of Yunmai intelligent body fat scale 3mini will automatically record the measured data every time it is weighed, and then generate a data graph, so that users can understand the changes of the body in a certain period of time and intuitively compare the data. Of course, if there are multiple members in the family who use this body fat scale, the APP can also intelligently record the data of each member separately, and the data between members will not interfere with each other.

The second product we experienced was Huawei Intelligent Body Fat Scale 3, which adopted Huawei TruFit's body composition monitoring algorithm, supported 14 body data measurement, supported WiFi/ Bluetooth dual connection and other functions. The supporting mobile APP is Huawei Health, and its overall functions are also very comprehensive.
In terms of appearance, Huawei Intelligent Body Fat Scale 3, like Yunmai Intelligent Body Fat Scale 3mini, adopts a relatively simple design style and corner arc treatment, but it is powered by batteries, and there is no physical power switch on the fuselage.
When using Huawei body fat scale to measure, it is the same as the cloud pulse body fat scale mentioned above. Through the high-definition LED screen data hidden in the above picture, we can see that the weight data measured by these two products are consistent, but Huawei's is displayed in kilograms, and the data is accurate to 0.0 1. Other fuselage data also need to be viewed in the APP.
After each measurement, Huawei Health APP will generate detailed body composition analysis report, basic weight data, and detailed body data such as body mass index, fat rate, skeletal muscle and basal metabolic rate. After clicking on each data, you can see a more detailed analysis, which can give users a more comprehensive understanding.
Compared with the content of Yunmai Hao Qing APP, the content presented is basically the same, including a number of detailed data, data analysis, simultaneous use by many people, etc. The difference is that it lacks an expert's advice on the details page of each data, and it is necessary to click the "Measure" option in the APP every time to start the measurement.

The third product we experienced was the Keep Body Fat Scale SE, which is an entry-level body fat scale. It adopts a high-precision fat measuring chip and is equipped with an E-type manganese steel sensor, which can accurately measure various data of the body and subtle changes of the body. Moreover, you can connect the mobile phone APP Keep via Bluetooth to record the body data of 15 people, and you can support 10 people at most.
In terms of appearance, it adopts a simple white body similar to the products of Yunmai and Huawei mentioned above, and its volume is relatively small. The power supply mode is 4 No.7 batteries, and the power switch button is not provided.
Keep the time node measured by the body fat scale SE different from that measured by the first two body fat scales by about a few minutes. As can be seen from the invisible LED screen in the above picture, its display accuracy is also 0.0 1, and the measured weight results are slightly different from those of the first two scales, with an error of 0. 15KG. Judging from my repeated measurements with these body fat scales these days, the weight measurement results of this body fat scale are indeed somewhat biased.
The APP used in this body fat scale is Keep. This software needs to register an account for the first time, set up some body data, and then it can be connected to the body fat scale through Bluetooth. After each measurement, you can see a body composition analysis report in the application. Body mass index, body fat percentage, muscle and bone mass are also intuitive, but it has no more detailed analysis and interpretation and detailed suggestions like Yunmai and Huawei. But after long-term use, it will recommend relevant diet and training content according to the user's physical changes.
But Keep APP gives me the feeling that it is too complicated. It takes many steps to find the data of the body fat scale, which is not as intuitive as the supporting app of the previous body fat scale, and the overall experience is greatly reduced.

The fourth product of this experience is PICOOC intelligent body fat scale mini. This product adopts sine AC technology+cloud dual-core calibration technology, and specially developed X-type super-large electrode sheet, which supports comprehensive analysis of 35 items of data and can provide users with a more comprehensive measurement experience.
Appearance, but also a relatively compact body fat scale, white body, integrated LED invisible screen, anti-rollover design. The power supply mode is USB charging. Official data show that it can be used for half a year on a single charge.
First, let's look at the basic weight measurement. The measuring time is the same as that of the previous body fat scale. Judging from the measurement results in the above figure, the weight value is 69.6KG, which is basically consistent with the previous product measurement value, and there is no obvious deviation. I think accurate weight measurement is also the most basic standard of a body fat scale.
After each measurement, we can check the measurement results of various physical data in the supporting APP PICOOC. In this automatically generated body composition measurement report, we can see various detailed data such as weight, fat rate and muscle rate. When a certain data of the body is abnormal, we will give an early warning reminder. After clicking, we can view the interpretation of relevant data, have a more comprehensive understanding of the body, and also view the trend chart of various data after a certain period of use.
Generally speaking, all the physical data and related suggestions displayed by PICOOC are quite comprehensive and the content display is relatively intuitive, but it is also the same that you need to manually click the "on the scale" option every time to start the measurement.

The fifth product we experienced was the body fat scale M 1. Compared with previous scales, this one is more advanced. It adopts the triple inspection of "dual energy X-ray", "nuclear magnetic resonance", "double standard water" and butterfly ITO conductive film, so it can ensure the accuracy when measuring body data.
This body fat scale should be the one with the highest face value among the products I have experienced in appearance, and it is relatively large, not as small as other models. Because of the butterfly ITO conductive film, the scale surface looks more concise. Others, such as the arc design at the corner of the fuselage and the large anti-slip foot pad design on the back are also in place.
In the actual experience, compared with the previous model at the same time of the day, the most basic weight measurement result is 69.7KG. Compared with the previous models, the deviation is 0. 1KG, which belongs to the normal error value.
The mobile APP used with this body fat scale is a good body knowledge. The design of this APP is relatively simple and the data is intuitive. After each physical measurement, the APP will directly generate a body composition measurement report. 2 1 Detailed body index data such as weight, fat mass, body mass index, protein, muscle mass, etc. can be seen at a glance. You can also view exercise suggestions, diet suggestions and the changing trends of various body data in the APP. In general,

The last one I experienced was the Yun Zhi USB model of Xiangshan Body Fat Scale. Compared with other body fat scales, this product is slightly lacking in function, measured body fat data, hardware and so on, and its body is relatively thin, unlike other models, which adopt corner arc design, and the back adopts large anti-slip foot pad design, so its safety is also lacking.
This body fat scale is tested at the same time of the day. In the most basic weight measurement, Xiangshan body fat scale has the biggest deviation. At ordinary times, my weight is kept in the range of 69.6-69.8KG, and the measurement data of other models are also in this range. I have tested this scale in Xiangshan several times, and the results are between 70. 1-70.2KG, with a particularly large deviation.
Let's take a look at the healthy experience of Xiangshan, a mobile APP. This body fat scale supports 65,438+02 body data in data measurement. After the measurement, a body composition measurement report will be generated. If each item of data has changed compared with the last measurement, it will be intuitively prompted with a red arrow, and you can also view the trend chart and other data.
However, the overall feeling of this APP is semi-finished and the data is incomplete. Unlike other body fat scales, it doesn't give detailed explanations and related suggestions, but can only view these body data intuitively.

First of all, in the aspect of weight measurement, the data measured by these body fat scales within five days are selected. As can be seen from the detailed data, the data measured by them are basically the same, which is close to the weight data measured by me in the gym, but the Xiangshan model has a big error. In terms of accuracy, Yunmai intelligent body fat scale 3mini is the best, and the test results in a few days will not differ much.
Body mass index (BMI) is a very important item in all data of the body, and the test results of five days in the same time period are also selected. As can be seen from the data in the table, the data they measured basically remained within the range of 22.0 on that day, with little overall fluctuation. There are no obvious deviation values of several body fat scales, but overall, Yunmai intelligent body fat scale 3mini is still relatively accurate.
Another important data-the comparison of fat rate, there is an obvious difference in the measurement results of six body fat scales. Taking my test data in the gym these days as a reference, the data measured by Yunmai intelligent body fat scale 3mini are still relatively close and relatively more accurate among these body fat scales.
Taking six different brands of body fat scale products I selected as an example, I had a deep comparative experience of these products within one week. From the detailed introduction of each product and the comparison of measured data, we can see that these products have their own advantages and disadvantages.
Based on my actual experience during this period, considering the function, measurement accuracy, safety and price, I prefer Yunmai intelligent body fat scale 3mini. Its price of 100 yuan has the advantages of accurate fat measurement, good linkage with light application, one-click analysis of 29 physical data, customized high-efficiency fat-reducing diet and exercise program. Just like hiring a professional personal trainer, you can analyze your body data in detail, and the overall cost performance is particularly good.
