Are ‘smart’ scales a waste of time?

[USman80]

I’ve done a couple of cycles and I’ve spotted some scales that sync up to your phone and can measure everything, such as weight, bmi, BF, water weight, muscle mass etc… just wondering how good or bad these things are.

all these fit apps are bullshit and do more harm than good. the only thing i recommend is if you use an apple watch keeping track of your HR is useful so you know what workouts are doing what. or if you are running how fast you are pacing so you can improve yourself.

Not sure if you can get accurate reading, perhaps it depends on the brand

They aren’t very reliable. Skin calliper measurements are better for measuring BF% but you need someone taking the measurements that knows what they’re doing.

Wrist wearable HR monitors aren’t very reliable either.
