Does this scale measure your bone mass?

Yes it does, along with muscle mass, water weight, metabolic age, visceral fat & body type. Weight and % body fat is standard.

The short answer is "yes." You simply put the measuring container (plate, cup, jar, whatever) on the scale and press the On/Off button. It immediately zeros the scale. You can then add the item to be weighed to the measuring container and the readout will display the weight of that item without having to subtract the weight of the container. Easy peasy! Apparently not everyone is aware of the tare function of this device -- hence some of the confusing answers.

Yes. It does measure in .1 lb increments. I assume it is accurate. It is a slick little scale and I am using it for my weight loss program. I am not a big tech person, but it is fun to have all the additional features.

You just have to step on the scale, I love it! It is very accurate and remembers my previous weight. How it does I don't know, but it does. My wife and I use it everyday just to see how much we gain during the day and lose over night. (most times :-) )

BMI is calculated/reported after your weight on the scale itself. The app only tracks weight and BMI, but you can always export or transmit the data to other apps that may calculate out water, bone & lean mass for you.

No it does not. As soon as you remove the box or whatever you're weighing the scale resets back to 0.

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

the dial shows your weight as well..so you get a digitial read out and a 'manual'...the dial does not work without batteries. And you do get the required AAA batteries with the scale.

Yes, it has a setup menu to input your gender, age and weight to measure as accurate as possible your data.

Yes it does, and once calibrated it is quite accurate. I would advise getting a calibration weight if you don't have one.

no, it does not. just has a large readout and slim design, outside of that its just a scale.

No. You just view the LCD screen for the weight kinda like a bathroom scale

It can measure accurately. However, the displayed number can disappear in the middle of weighing. The display often goes "blank", so you have to re do the weighing. If you weigh more than one item and try to add another, you will lose count if the display goes blank. If you only weigh one item, you can just reweigh that particular item. I hope this helps.

It seems very accurate, weighs up to 350 lbs (not sure if that's enough) and the hand held readout makes it easier than a floor scale. As a patient it would not be off-putting for the nurse to ask me to step on one of these, so I would say yes. It also weighs in decimals of a pound, not just full pounds. I've had it nearly a couple years and it hasn't needed a new battery yet and I have had no problems of any kind as of yet.

No. And I luv it! Make sure big toe and heels R on metal. And weigh 2-3 times to confirm accuracy. I skip my nutritionist thanks to this scale :D

No, it automatically turns on when you step on it to measure your weight and it turns off by itself in a few seconds after you step off of it. To use the BMI measurement, you must push a button first, then step on it.

This morning I stepped on it and it told me my weight. (down six pounds) I understand your confusion, some scales do require a "tap" This one does not. I will check tomorrow to be sure.
