Appears like a good price for this scale. Harvey Norman is selling it for $69.95 and at mwave for ~68 delivered.
Measurements can be synced via Bluetooth to the mobile app. Not too sure about quality and other features.

Haha :D I guess 180KG should cover most of us. If not then then are far bigger issues to to take care of then simply measuring the weight :P :)
I knew a guy who was overweight, but discovered that he could work from home if he was deemed to be handicapped due to being obese. So he piled on the weight, even at the expense of being ridiculed by cinema patrons when buying tickets to Honk If You're Horny. One day, he tried to use his phone but he couldn't press one digit at a time. The phone spat back an error message to him that his fingers were too fat and that he could order a special dialing wand by mashing the keypad. Good times.
Wrap a foil around a stale chip. Works for me
Small world, I know him too! He used to wear a Moo-Moo.
Did he wear a muumuu?
By any chance did he work at a nuclear power plant?
how exactly does it measure "body weight, body fat, BMI, body water, bone mass, calorie, visceral fat and body age" ??
I don't know how correct this is, so don't quote me.
But I'm sure I read somewhere that some scales calculate body fat by sending a short electric pulse and measuring the time it takes to travel through the body and back to the scale.
It doesn't.
It's yet another case of add computer chips and claim magical things happen because computers.
How can it be magical if its grounded in Science?
Petherman is close.
It is based on calculations of conductance/resistance of tissue types. It sends out small electric pulses and based on assumptions (reasonable amount of research data to support the assumptions and algorithms used) it calculates body proportions.
Body age is comparison with population norms
BMI is a back of the envelope calc after height is entered by the user
Calories needed are again based on the values of calculated body compositionWe have hand held device which communicates with stuff in space so we can get directions while we drive with realtime traffic data, speak to our friends, and watch ozbargain all day. I think a scale which calculates body composition based on basic physical principles is not too impressive or far fetched. Diji obviously disagrees.
quoting you: You must compare like for like ;) based on calculations, assumptions, "reasonable" (hahaha)amount of research, comparison with population norms, based on the values of calculated body composition… " seriously mate, step back, read it after yourself and admit that it is a $10 scale with some added chip with no real function and one 50 cents app tracking few lines of data while only one of them is precise (the weight itself)…
The question was how exactly does it measure the listed functions. I answered. As for questioning the precision or accuracy of the instrument, that is a different point entirely.
Is there an android app? Everything I can see is about apple app?
Maximum weight in the title or description, please. Some of us eat Connoisseur ice cream.
