Can this scale be used by someone who has a titanium implant?

Nope. Instruction manual says device is not recommended for people with implants. By application, the device scale passes a micro current through our body from the hands to the feet, detecting resistance. This micro current is likely to interfere with the implants, since the purpose of an implant is to trigger a current once it detects the heart to be weak/disfunctional. The micro current may interfere with the implant either on the current signal - introducing confusion since the heart has a signal on itself or may cause disruption in waveforms as a filter is not used to disspate any redundant or unneccessary interference.

The scale does not do well with small changes in weight. If you were to trickle you would need to tap the scale to give it a couple of grains of change before it will register a new value. I am not sure if its a sensitivity issue or I was just impatient with waiting for the screen to update. If you trickle you would need to lift the measuring pan up and set it back down again after you toss a little powder.

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.

My husband uses it moe frequently than I do and it seems to wait for him to settle. We use the talking mode. Basically we tap with one foot, the voice prompts "ok, ready " then there is time to step on slowly, a wait time of a few more seconds to settle, then a voice reading of current weight, and once off she says "good-bye"... I think it would be an excellent scale for someone slowed by age.

This scale like any other that uses a load-cell array needs to be used on a hard, flat surface in order to achieve an accurate reading. I wish I had a permanent home for mine but there is no room for it. I store mine leaning against the side of the vanity cabinet, then bring it into the bathroom (5' away) and use it there.

Yes. Two people can use the scale when they have two different lose it accounts. In fact, I think you can have more than that. Good luck losing it! Have fun with it!

As with most mechanical scales, it would be more accurate consistently if it were on a level surface. However, if you are OK with the inaccuracy of a scale on an uneven surface, than it should be fine.

The scale comes with an app that syncs via Bluetooth and imports your weight. I have not been able to sync to the Health app or to other fitness apps like LoseIt.

Since they use the Dr. Scholl's scale I think you would need to find a machine.. otherwise you would be guessing and likelyget the wrong one.

The tray can be removed, the inaccuracy of the scale, though, cannot. My Can't Weigh Gem20 is in a landfill somewhere.

Not likely, that's very tiny. The scale on this is about 1/2 inch to 1 foot, or 1/24.

Not certain what your concern is. I have this scale and love it. I don't understand the concern. I have stents and they don't interfere with any electronic devices. The scale works perfectly and is very accurate and repeatable (i.e. repeated weighing returns the same weight) The scale is only half the story. Withings provides a website and app to show your history and trends. It is great. The scale won't guarantee you lose weight but it will definitely make you aware (and feel guilty) if you're not. I like the trending tools even better than the scale....and I love it.

Depending on your area, it might not be compliant with county weights and measures. The reason being is that the scale cannot be calibrated. It is factory set and cannot be altered.

I think this scale would definitely be better. I have tested this and have moved and bounced and even my dogs have stepped on it while I'm on it and the scale is still accurate. The nice part about it is that the recorded weight will continue to display until after your husband steps off the scale so if he is unsteady or shaky, he'll still manage to read the scale after stepping off. This is honestly the best scale I have ever purchased.

I would not trust a bath scales with precision weighing. Jewelry or postal scales would be far more accurate for these fine differences of weight.

not sure about the guaranty but mine continues to work great after two years, my daughters Tanita is working great after 5 years and a third older version I have that I keep at work also works great after 7+ years. I would think if you take care of it the scale will last longer than your diet

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
