I got on a pair of these and the display said "One at a time please" :smirk:

just had to get this.. to see how overweight I am on an app.. brill

Thanks OP. I already have a FitBit Aria in one bathroom and the older Salter MiBody USB scales in the other. Tempted to replace the old Salter with this one. The EAN says its for the black version but the pic on Argos is the white version. Can you confirm which you received? I wanted the black one.

good find op, heat added

Good deal. Happy to make your deal hot :-)

Thanks, ordered.

Does it sync automatically? Or am I right to assume that you'd have to go into the app to make it sync?

Thank you! So after the initial app setup, it auto syncs as soon as I step off the scale and I wouldn't actually have to go into the app?

No it auto syncs it lists the day the weight was taken the time and also lists your BMI how much water and fat your body is holding for £30 is amazing value

can this sync/upload to Garmin connect or any other 3rd parties, or is it all just held in the salter app?

Thanks OP, ordered a couple for collection tomorrow.

My Dad's taken up walking to get in shape and has wanted some scales so he can keep track of progress. Thought I may as well grab some for myself aswell at this price.

Does anyone recommend any alternatives to consider at a similar price range? Just need reasonably accurate scales (I know the analyser part won't be that accurate, but will use that more to look at trends then absolute values) with a decent App. Most others I've considered have been double this price.

Thank you so much! I've just ordered one :smiley:

how do you use the discount code?

No need to buy this thing. I'm holding out until they release the MiBody toilet as it comes with an integrated set of scales so you can measure the weight of each poo. It really cuts out the crap so you can get an accurate measure of your body weight.

Great find but not WI-FI, Just ordered anyway. I think wi-fi would flatten the battery....

I keep getting message:

"Your order couldn't be processed online today. If possible, please check and reserve online, then pay in-store."

when I try paying with Fast Track. Tried using both a card and PayPal. Anyone checked out successfully using Fast Track?

Does it sync to apple health app?

I have just ordered and paid online. Collection available from 22nd September.
Confirmation e-mail received shortly after ordering.
Thanks

I just picked it up. I received the white one.

Ordered cheers Lewis.

These don't measure body fat, body water, muscle mass as advertised. I received the white one.

I received http://www.salterhousewares.co.uk/salter-mibody-bluetooth-max-digital-bathroom-scales.html

Just picked it up, they've got the wrong description up, arguing now to get the black model, the white model doesn't do body fat or anything else, it only does BMI and weight.

The EAN from the Argos description is this model (without body analyser features):

http://www.salterhousewares.co.uk/salter-mibody-digital-analyser-bathroom-scales-black.html

Reccomend returning it, £30 for a scale without any additional options is a waste of money. Argos messed up with the only description and don't sell the black model with all the additional features

Exchanged to the black at a different store, called customer service

I just went and collected one its black and has all the extras with no hassle - also does anyone else have issues with the app, it freezes and crashes all the time so i cant acutally use the features

Wow not having much luck are you :disappointed:

The one I have has supposedly the additional features but the main setting I wanted is messed up, I know for a fact I'm not 29% body fat, going to call up salter and complain tomorrow

This is the one I got

How accurate is yours? Also do the 4 things for the legs fit, mine don't which means it's grossly inaccurate

Any chance you can post a picture of the box for your scales?

The body fat percentage seems to be way off. The mass itself is accurate though.

One problem that I can't work out. How do you have multiple users with the app? I seem to be able to have one user at a time. Do I have to use a different mobile phone / tablet for each user?

Hope this helps some of you:

The feet attachments are for carpet only. I'm using it on a tiled surface so using them without.

Scales generally don't work very well on carpet even with the attachments.

I'm investigating further. I'm comparing results to my FitBit Aria which are in the main bathroom.
I've checked the results of those scales against a Tanita MC-780MA which is are professional segmental body composition machines costing over £4000 and the Aria is actually pretty accurate.

Still can't work out how to have multiple users configured in the app though.

Think I'll have a look on wed and check the spec.

These aren't hugely accurate, at best it's only really your deltas that will be useful and accurate, even then its got multiple variables that can skew it and you would need to calibrate it properly for it to be accurate.

Got both mine. Checked and they both say Bluetooth on them and have the sticker on the side of the box. Trying to decide wether to keep.

Positives:

Look decent
Syncs with App well and keeps record, with graphs and individual daily records
You can register account, so can transfer data to new phone
Accurate weight
Measures Body Fat / BMI / Muscle Mass / Body Water

Negatives:

App can only handle one user (would like to keep a track of our daughters weight aswell). Otherwise you have to log out and sign in as another user.
Interpretation of data is limited. Doesn't calculate BMR for example. Only a couple of the metrics provide ranges in the graph view telling you whats low/normal/high.
Can't export data to another App or service (for example health kit). Which would help mitigate the previous negative.
Possibly would be more convenient if it had Wifi, but not a major concern really.


Would appreciate some thoughts from people that have more advanced scales. Wether its worth investing a bit more. The major negative is the lack of analysis. We used to have a more advanced Tanita scale with the pull up handles (but it was offline of course) and that told you a range of analysis based on the measurements which I found more useful (BMR, body age, etc).

I went to a different Argos branch and changed the white ones without the extra features to the black ones. Definitely worth doing it. Otherwise I would have returned for a refund.

​I think it's the same. It's just pot luck which are you going to get. The number on the black box is 538/1614.

I've got mine, but can't sync it. Mainly because, whatever I do, the scales switches itself off after about 5 seconds. Anyone got any idea how I can extend the display time or what I'm doing wrong. In case it makes a difference, I've got the white version of the scales.

Edit :- I've actually managed to get it to sync now, by constantly retrying. Now that I've established the sync, I get much more time before the display blanks.

Bought this - rubbish - clunky interface, failed to make bluetooth connection - on four different devices - returned.

I got the white one 583/1614. Issues syncing iphone 4s which uses bluetooth 4.0, the app freezes constantly so contacted them and await tech response. Same with iPad Air. Not sure if anyone else is having this issue.

They've just pushed an update which adds health kit integration. Pleasant surprise :smiley:

So far happy with mine, not sure how accurate the BMI measurements are as absolute values. But using them as relative measures works well for me so far.

My only grip, now that I know I regularly use it, is perhaps I should have gone for a wifi enabled scale as I don't often remember to take my phone so measurements don't get delivered daily to the phone.
