This version does not, please see this option for a Body Fat monitor: Weight Gurus Digital Body Fat Scale with Large Backlit LCD and Smartphone Tracking (black)

No and no. The scale sits on the floor and u hold the handles to get ur actual whole body numbers. Hope that helps

Hi Julie I think if when you weigh yourself it doesn't look right. I would return the scale. Which is what I did I have a scale called thinner which I bought 10 years ago from Bed Bath Beyond. It gives accurate weight as well as fat content

Yes it measures your weight and balance. I don't think it won't work without it.

Yes. It measure in kilograms and pounds. Here's the capacity: 2kg/4.4lb and the sensitivity is 1g/0.1oz meaning that's the least amount it will register. There is a button on the scale that allows you to switch between lbs and kgs. It works great. I have had it for more than a year and use it every day. Hope this helps.

No, it doesn't have that sort of function. You can however use the the Weaker/Stronger setting to tune the amount. It is pretty consistent with the amount it puts out so you may be able to fine tune any weight requirement you need with a scale and the stronger/weaker options.

With BIA it only factors in the mass that is being measured. So, if you have a handheld, it will measure the upper body and torso but a staring scale will measure from leg-to-leg. So depending where you hold your fat, it can be significantly different between hand held and leg-to-leg readings. A con of BIA. I hope this helps.

Yes. The scale display can be set to either Metric or English Standard for weight, and the body electrochemical analysis will report ineither modes as well.

I would not recommend this scale if you are looking to measure anything more than your weight. BF measurements and bmi measurements are way off. Yes this does measure increments of .01 kg.

I don't know for sure. I don't have the little booklet that came with it anymore and it doesn't say on the scale.

Yes it does. Is it accurate though.. I have no idea but as long as you stand on it after it reads your weight for a few seconds it will show you all of that info. It is a very nice scale it just takes a few times to get the accurate weight.

Yes it does. Love the scale for my pet. Very accurate but you do have to make sure they are dead center on it.

Yes. It is very actuate. It measures weight, BMI and water weight also. Weight yourself 1st thing in the morning before you eat or drink anything for best results. Just enter your age, height, female/male etc. Very easy to use and to store info automatically.

I read that the method these scales use to measure % body fat (bioelectrical impedance analysis) is highly inaccurate. The best you can hope for is spotting trends over time (i.e. does % body fat decrease over a longer time period). The fact that you have to give the machine all kinds of parameters (height, age, fitness level etc) clearly shows that the machine is not measuring your body fat, but is using a mathematical algorithm to come up with an educated 'guess' what your % body fat might be.

I am unsure. I purchase a scale, had it sent to my mother in another state and none of my relatives could get it to work. We ended up returning the scale.

The one I have does NOT measure/display BMI which is strange because one of the things it asks for is the your height.The manual does not say anything about BMI- http://www.balanceliving.co/images/BalanceLivingPrecisionLife-TrackBodyAnalysisScaleManual.pdf

No, this model only measures weight. Their other model (black) measures other things.
