Etekcity Bluetooth Smart Body Composition Scale with Accurate Weight, Body Fat, BMI & Water Measurement

John3: Overall, I like this scale and continue to use it over a year later. As far as coming through on its basic functionality, I can't complain: it measures everything it says it does. Also, one thing you have to watch out for with cheap scales are the ones that give you a different reading just seconds apart each time you step on. This scale doesn't do that: if I step on and it reads 181.1... then if I step off and step on again, it will read 181.1 again. So that's another plus.

Now for the downsides. For one thing, the app is alright once you've got it set up. However, I found the setup to be a bit cumbersome. In addition, my wife and I both use this scale and sometimes our measurements would get all screwy. So the app is alright, and it does generally work, but it could be better.

Probably the only really annoying thing about this scale is how quickly it burns through batteries. We have to put new batteries in this thing every couple weeks, which is really pretty obnoxious. I think a big part of the issue is that the backlight on the readout seemed to randomly turn on all the time when the scale wasn't being used. I'm not sure why that happens, but...

Anthony WilliamsAnthony Williams: The scale worked perfectly out of box, synced with the phone app (VeSync on iOS) within seconds. From there, setting up WiFi was pretty painless and the stats the app provides are quite useful. I enjoy the fact that thank to WiFi, I don't need to have my smartphone on me when weighing myself - it will sync automatically when I open the app next.

My one comment (on the app) is that the app defaults to a setting that plays quite a loud, rather silly-sounding noise whenever new data is uploaded from whichever device has VeSync. Thankfully, that sound can be enabled or disabled in the app settings.

The display is very neat - bright white letters that appear beneath the surface make the scale feel even more futuristic. As an added bonus, it is clearly and easily legible at night.

From a materials perspective, the scale feels nice - solid and industrial. I had some mild reservations when I saw the glass-like surface, but it has held up with zero scratches and zero cracks after an inch or so drop. Also, multiple stumbles (on account of having a new scale 😅) have bumped the scale into other objects with no visible or functional damage to the...

AP: [UPDATE]
After my first review I was just going to bite the bullet and except my disappointment in the scale. To my surprise, a customer service representative from Etekcity reached out TO ME about my concerns. Turns out, my scale somehow got damaged internally during shipping (even though everything looked fine on the inside). They sent me a new scale (though it took a few weeks) at no extra charge to me, to replace the damaged one. I waited about a month or two to update my review and I can say that everything still works great, the batteries have not died, and the scale is giving consistent accurate readings. I tested with an 8lb dumbbell several times a day for a week and each time it read 8.2. The extra 0.2 may bother some people, but I can live with that. I could not be more pleased! I now love the scale, it looks wonderful, and the customer service of this company went beyond my expectations. If you are not satisfied with your scale, I would recommend reaching out to the company directly before returning your scale to Amazon.

The scale looks fantastic and I loved everything about it, the only problem I had was the inconsistency of the weight. In...

D. G. Speirs: It is a scale.
Under the heading of "you have one job." it does that amazingly well, and with style. It sits unobtrusively on the floor in the corner of the bathroom, the white glass design almost blending in with the tile floor. You barely notice its there, until it comes time to use it.
You step on. Little electronic minions jump to life and the numbers appear, crisp and white and very easy to read at the top. A moment later, it flashes and holds the number while you step off and realize that second helping of tiramisu was probably not a good idea.
It did that one job magnificently.
Now, this scale is an overachiever. It has Bluetooth capability, can hook up with your smartphone and fitness apps to deliver all sorts of body analysis numbers - BMI, body fat percentage, lean muscle weight, etc. Me, I'm not that much of a body geek. Yet. I have a feeling this thing may turn me into one.
That and my doctor being unhappy about too many second helpings of tiramisu.
But for now, I'll stay happy about the way this thing does the one job. It weighs me. accurately, and in a way I can read it easily. Well done.
