Smart Scales

I have ordered this scale: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07S7FWMC7?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details -- it is, in short, a smart scale with an app. I asked my Dr. and my nutritionist, who both thought it was a good idea. What is your experience with smart scales? What factors do you track and pay attention to?

Thanks!

    I have it on good authority that scales lie. It must be true since I hear myself saying it all the time! Smart scales just have more to lie about. Minimally more to obsess about. Good luck,

  • Everything has an app now. Even my new electric toothbrush has blue tooth & can record how long I brushed, how hard I scrubbed, etc. I mean really?? Been cleaning my teeth without an issue for 57

I’ve been using a smart scale for years and love it. I look primarily at weight and find it useful to look at change over time and this makes it easy.

Besides the obvious weight and BMI, I watch muscle mass, fat and BMR mostly.

This scale gives you that and a lot more. It seems dead-on reliable and the app is excellent.
