Taylor fat analyzer does not give accurate numbers: Yet the machine is telling me only 16%?????

The manual mentioned something about being naked. Were you naked when you tried this? I'm using mine, and it seems 'ok'. I use it after showering so I get both 'damp feet' and 'naked' without extra effort. :D

The distance recorded by the 620 gets short of what the treadmill registers -- up to 15% off. I've tried with more than two treadmills with same results. The deviation factor increases with speed. This happens evidentely without the assistance of a footpod. Regards.

I ordered this for my mother, she hasn't had any problems with the reading been inaccurate.She takes this to her doctor to have them check it against their reading and it has been fine.I hope this information helps. Joyce

I doubt the test can measure 2%. My results, tho very helpful, were in 25% & 50%.

I think the methodology it uses to track steps is not from the movement of your foot. It may be wrist action or something to that affect. I just got the foot pod, and I did notice that it is accurate if you are running on an indoor track, but not very accurate on a treadmill. It may be user error though. I'm going to have my husband re-look at it and make sure it's set up correctly.

It's definitely not this one. I've had to resort to "guesstimating" distance by number of steps taken using known distances to give me a target number of steps. Haven't been happy with this pedometer, but the price was good and accuracy isn't really a detractor for me as I just need approximate distances. Calorie counts? Forgedda about it!

It is noted as being calibrated to ± 4 percent accuracy. I'm not sure if a report is included.

I noticed the same thing, but read something about it being "standardized" to 65%... not really sure what that means. You might want to contact the company to see if they can clarify for you.

You'll never know the correct reading because it gives a different one every time. I threw out the tru test and got a Taylor test kit.

not to my knowlege, but i have been more interested in using the machine than in what the computer program is saying. i have lost 15 lbs since i got it!

I can not answer that but what I did was take it to the nurse where I work and compared their readings to mine using their equipment vs mine. The results were very close. The nurse was happy with the comparison. She said it is not an exact science.

Yes, in as much as the built in altimeter is accurate. This is old tech, newer companies offer better products an besides, much, much more importantly other companies may offer better support. From first hand experience, Fitbit customer service is atrocious, and that is very generous!!

No send it back it is not accurate took mine to Dr . App. Big difference in reading.

Not sure. Try to check by taking actual pulse on wrist or machine at drug store. Have you set up your age and such? Mine was accurate but would lock up when I worked out.

I am very sorry to sound negative but this is a rubbish piece of kit. It is probably malfunctioning. It is not accurate, is badly made and I threw mine away. Treat yourself to a Tom Tom Sportwatch (multi sport model excellent). Or Boots sell two very good pedometers. Trev

Terre, I have the Calculator at work but I would have to say yes off the top of my head. The only way it would do that is if it has a physical slide for setting the number of decimal points. I don't believe this has that. I can double check tomorrow when I'm at work. And post another response if it does.

I have found mine to be very accurate. Perhaps you did get a defective one and should ask for it to be replaced.
