How accurate and consistent?
1410019
As far as I can tell, very accurate and consistent. The scale is very sensitive to minor changes such as removing a watch.I weigh on a very regular basis and compare the weight I get on my scale to the digital scale at one doctor's office as well as another office with manual scales. (I always take notice if the scale is balanced at o before I weigh on the manual scale.). For those of us who are weight conscious this scale is a godsend.

I have no way to verify accuracy since I don't have nist traceable standard weights. Precision seems OK. I have noticed that the scale sometimes doesn't want to zero. I'll turn it on and it moves away from zero (I have seen it go higher and lower). When it does this the zero may wander as much as 10 lbs. Eventually the scale stabilizes. I have not contacted the mfg. I find this annoying but am willing to live with it since it rarely happens.

Based upon the weight of my dog on the scale compared to the scale at the vet's office, I'd say they are accurate to within a quarter pound. More importantly, they are incredibly consistent. Since purchasing them, I have periodically (initially every week or so; now maybe once every month or two) tested them by placing the same pair of 30 pound iron dumbbells on them. Maybe 2 or 3 times, they have read 58.4, otherwise, they are always 58.6. Note: I believe that the pair of dumbbells are less than 60 pounds. I have checked them on other bathroom scales, and they have always weighed less than 60 pounds on those scales too. Regardless, consistency is far more important than the accuracy in bathroom scales. After all, the purpose of bathroom scales is to monitor the change in one's body weight over time, not for commercial purposes, such as weighing copper ore. IMO these are the best bathroom scales that I have ever used.

Seems to be very accurate and consistent. It measures in the tenths of a pound, though, and will take a few seconds to "settle" on a number, very sensitive to any movement while standing on it. We use it at our TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) meetings, and so far have not had anyone "blame the scale".. :)

The scale is usually consistent if you keep the scale in the same spot and weigh yourself each day at the same time. Unfortunately, after a few weeks of use the scale was off by about 7 pounds. Even after putting it to zero, it was still saying I was 7 pounds less than I was. My doctor's digital scale agreed with my other digital scale. Not a good thing .

I have found it very accurate when compared against other devices like treadmill sensors which you hold on to and even when I compare to a blood pressure monitor.There is a little heart which flashes on the top right so if you hold your other hand to the pulse at your neck you can get confirmation that the heartbeat measured on the watch coincides with the actual heartbeat you are experiencing.

It was not very Accurate. Also... my third purchase was a bad unit. Neither the seller nor the maker would respond... not even to the BBB. Be careful. The working two have lost most battery life after a year. Good luck.

There are 3 different reference levels(calculations) that this meter can do. The meter is accurate within what it cam measure. Read the manual on what the meter uses and what uther things can throw off the readings. I have found to to be pretty good meter myself.

It wouldn't be 100% accurate, but close. My guess is the reading would be about 25-50% low.

If you are steady it is accurate. I have 4 of these and have been extremely pleased

Yep! But I have never checked if it is accurate. Last, the temperature is adjustable.

I believe its quite accurate....and I've had for some time and measured at doctors office with him. I paid 19 dollars, got a black and a white one.

Unless you're using it in doctor's office and comparing the Withings read to the doctor's professional read, I don't know that one can determine teh Withings accuracy. Certainly not home alone. But I can say the numbers I got from it were consistent with those I got at the doctor's office under comparable circumstances (sitting still in chair at a calm time of day).

Hi Jack, The wife and I have found this scale to be extremely accurate... usually within a 10th of a pound... and it's been very consistent. We've had it about a year. If you're doing a weight loss program, especially if there is more than one weighing in, the tracking feature is really nice. You can see were you were during the last weigh-in and then compare to the present... very handy. After several lousy scales this is the only one that I would recommend

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

It is not always accurate. Sometimes it seems to show yesterday setting and the phone has to be restarted. But nice to have. Hope the software improves.

It is plenty accurate. You can get a better set but, for the money, these are very good.

I was just looking at the accuracy rating of a whole list of these things and all except one said: 70% to 100% accurate. I don't know what that means, but I do know that my relative tends to have cold fingers and the hospital did every single finger, and some toes and the ear of my relative every time, before they settled on a reading, so I am suspecting none of them are considered accurate enough to just accept the reading from one finger.

We have not calibrated the monitor in a physician's office, but my husband and I feel that ourreadings are on track with the values we expect based on recent office visits. The readings are also consistent when taken multiple times.
