why would you pay £20 for a machine to tell you that you're fat? just look in the mirror

tbh they dont need to be accurate, only precise (ofc you need to control conditions a bit)
as long as change over time can be recorded then they are a useful tool.
not sure how they are working out muscle/bone density though but not looked into it!

Got one of these last time. Very good and you can set several confidential account tax. Links with smartphone and keeps track of those measurements on a graph - useful if you're trying to lose weight. Links with health app on iPhone

This scale can only read your weight, it can not give you any meaningful data on fat, water, muscle density, bone density. The accurate way to read your fat content is using body fat pinchers.
These body fat scales as inaccurate just like exercise wearables such as Fit Bit. It's technology for technologies sake and even worse it's entirely useless as the measurements these devices are inaccurate.

Pretty much this.
I have a smartwatch and I bought this scale last year to monitor weight and although the weighing side of things seems to be ok, the rest is completely inaccurate (just like the smartwatch!)
