Does it provide separate (% of fat) measurements for the abdomen, arms, and legs as more expensive devices do?

No, it does not, but we didn't want to spend that kind of dough. For the price it works great. We're very happy with it.

No, and also I have found that when comparing it with other scales I and my friends have, it seems to give a lower percentage reading then the others, on this one measurement. In fact its number is about half of what the others report.

The scale has a sequence of user input as it pertains to age and height there is also an athlete mode which is for people who workout and as with most Tanita scales you can adjust weight to be in Lbs or Kg.... So no the scale will not tell you how tall you are but it will give you your total body weight n body fat percentage as a whole and also segmented for limbs n torso

Yes. But if you only want to measure I would look at simpler product with less features. This one is overly complicated.

yes it sure does it tracks time worked out and calories burned and total fat burn %

Yes, and if something sounds too good to be true, then its probably false. The only calorie monitors that truly indicate an accurate measure of work are called ergometers. Those instruments are found only on fitness machines (usually stationary bikes) costing at least $2000. The reason why meaninglessly inaccurate "calorie monitors" abound is because customers still demand them. If a brand offers a "calorie monitor" on a $40 fitness machine then its competitors are forced to offer one too. They always give highly overestimated readouts, which makes the machine look (deceivingly) super effective for fitness. I never pay attention to "calories". I always set the consoles of my fitness equipment to instead display either time or cycle rate.

I've used mine, as well as the same one owned by a friend and I always have this issue as well. Even when I'm down to my lowest weight and have a six-pack and veins popping out on my arms, and legs with a BMI right in the middle of normal range, and after a trainer used calipers and measured me at 6-7% the body fat percentage on this scale has never dipped below 20 percent. At a heavier point (winter weight haha) I've switched immediately from a handheld that measured 11% to this one which gave >23%. Makes no sense.

Yes, it can also give the same results in the metric system, as can most of their other models. Hope this helps and I wish you the best in your exercise and calorie tracking.

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 it does. But be aware that the fat percentage is not accurate at all. More like a random number than anything else

Yes, the unit does measure weight. You can set up a profile based on the initial weight when you first step on the scale. After you set up the profile, it will 'recognize' you the next time you step on the scale, and will show other interesting percentages, such as Body Mass Index, Bone density, Per cent of water weight, and muscle mass. This is a very good scale at a great price.

No it doesn't, you're much better off with a thigh master or better yet a pilates Magic Circle for pelvic muscles or arms. This device was useless for me- I'm a petite, thin woman- it is way too big and poorly designed.
744525
Yes it does. It calculates all of the following: Calories, Carbohydrates, Fiber, Sodium, Potassium, Magnesium, Total Fat, Saturated Fat, Cholesterol, Calcium, Protein, Vitamin K

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

I attach it a few inches above the back of my knee when cycling and it's able to measure something. I can't say how accurate the burned calories are but it seems like it's close (comparing what it says to myfitnesspal's moderate cycling--my pace--for 45 minutes gives about the same numbers).It would be helpful if someone with a heart rate monitor compared its calories burned with those burned using the BodyMedia on the leg. I'm betting they won't be identical but will be pretty close.

Yes it does. It tracks duration, distance, avg.pace, avg. speed, max speed, and calories.

A regular cuff size fits most people with typical body size. That rules out people who are grossly obese, as well as competitive body builders as well as children. I would guess that is the great majority of the population. As I said in my review, the "Women's" designation is a marketing issue and it works with both men and women. It's been a while but as I recall, I bought it based on a Consumer Reports evaluation and I have found the unit to be accurate and reasonably well made. I also have a "Professional" unit which retails for over $1000. It's very accurate but a pain to use. I have found the Omron to calibrate well against the Hospital grade unit.

looking over the specs this scale is completely stand along which is reflected on the price. I can't comment on this particular model. but you get other models that can send info through to a smartphone which in tern can communicate to a website to store your numbers. MFP doesn't support a lot of tech and only supports the more expensive wifi scales. And remember no fat scale is accurate, you use the numbers only as a relative % to your body to unit.
