InBody Dial H20 | Body Composition Scale Most Accurate | Smart Scale with BMI, Body Fat, Muscle Mass | Weight Scale with Body Fat and Muscle

Let me start by saying that I have tried other body fat (bf %) measuring scales out there, and I can finally say that there is no need to purchase another any time soon. I have the Omron HBF-516 scale that puts me at 18%-20% body fat. I am nowhere near this, and depending on the day and hydration levels, it will vary greatly even dropping to 16% at night, then 19.5% in the morning. This scale didn't have a athlete mode or anything like that, so it doesn't account for muscle mass. I definitely question how much of the BIA technology it actually uses in order to make a calculation since I did notice increases in bf% related to weight increases, at times. I have tried other step on BIA scales that don't have the handles, and these mostly use your age, height, and weight to make a educated guess. Don't waste your money on these unless you need just a regular scale. These put me at 17-19% body fat, and they are directly related to your weight, which is wrong. When my weight went up, my body fat % went up. This isn't always true. Right when I saw this InBody H20N advertised, I ordered it, and went to get my bf % on a professional grade version which had me at 12.5% body fat. Two weeks using the scale and my bf % readings have averaged at 13.1%. It's been within 1% of that initial reading which I hope it drops a little more. The only thing close to this reading was the Omron handheld HBF-306C that they have at the gyms. The problem with this one is that it's only an upper body reading, but a good thing is that it does have athlete mode which dropped .5-1% bf. This fat loss monitor can work for me since I mostly store my bf in my mid section, so it makes sense why it would be more accurate to ME, but may not be to others if they have bf on their lower body. I had a hard time giving this Inbody 5 stars since there is always something that needs to be improved, and its expensive. Although, the quality of the scale, accuracy, ease of use of the app and easy pairing with Bluetooth with Android, makes it hard for it to not get 5 stars; it does everything right. The app may not be the best design, but it gives you what you need, and it does it well. It does offer weight syncing to Samsung health, and Apple. This is the best scale you can get for at home use. Your bf% will never be 100% accurate, but this has giving me the closest reading comparted to my physical look and body fat % chart pictures. This is a good long term investment.

I own two of these in different states and have found them both reliable and consistent. When it comes to reducing my percentage body fat, these scales consistently show me the direction/trend of changes in my body composition. They are not marketed for their absolute precision (e.g., is my %BF 17.4 or 17.7 today?). They are designed to give you insight on changes in %BF and the approximate figures. While those metrics jump around a bit due, I think, to water retention levels, the trends in the metrics appear solid - and motivational. The blind “Rankings” data is especially powerful for those with a competitive gene. By contrast, the daily numbers for body weight (I.e., the simple scale dimension of the H20N is rock solid (the numbers do not bounce around) and matches weight precisely with my medical grade, solid steel, mechanical beam and balance scale.

Biggest issue up front: The ability to connect to the app and see historical data was buggy on the best days. It would regularly take 5 to 10 minutes to get them to sync up. And you had to do it every time you use the scale. Sometimes it won't sync at all. Recently, after owning it for less than three months it stopped connecting to the app at all. Without being able to see the data this scale is useless to me. I tested this scale side by side with the commercial version of the inbody scale. It was close but had quiet a bit a variability in the measurements, even when taken back to back measurements. So it's not good for accuracy, but you might be able to see the trends over time. Unfortunately, the app shows the datapoints equally spaced, so measurements taken one day apart look the same as measurements taken on month apart. This makes viewing trends difficult. You would have to record the data and plot it all out yourself. The build of the scale feels VERY cheap. The plastic feels very cheap and thin. I don't know how long it would hold up physically if it didn't already break. Overall, absolutely not worth the money. The inconstancy of the connection and the inconvenience of having to sync every time you use it made it more trouble than it was worth even when it worked. Breaking after three months is not ok, even for a cheap product. And this is not a cheap product.

I see a lot of complaints about consistency from one result to the next. I had these issues briefly as well until I started paying attention to the following: 1. Wear a tight, thin shirt that is snug under your armpits and shorts that stop your thighs touching if necessary. I keep a tight Underarmor t-shirt next to the scale that is perfect for this. This is very important! 2. Initiate the test in the app. 3. Wait until the scale shows 0.0, meaning it's calibrated, then step on the scale. 4. Wait for the weight to flash indicating that it's complete. 5. Gently grab the handle like it shows in the instructions and hold it about 12" from your waist with straight arms. Ideally, find a spot on the floor that you can aim for every time. 6. Don't move until you hear the double beep indicating the test is over. When I do this, I get the same result over and over with body fat readings that make sense (calipers, mirror, changes in response to changing diet/exercise) and never varying by more than 0.1%. The reason all of this is necessary is that the distance the electrical pulse travels impacts the readings. Armpits rubbing, thighs touching, and bent arms change that distance and change the results. Eliminate those variables and you'll get the most out of this very high quality scale. My only real wish is for segmental analysis in the app. The scale itself performs a segmental analysis so I can't see a good reason why it wouldn't be provided. If there is one, I'd love to hear it. :) In the end, I've tried a bunch of these BIA scales, both with and without handles, and this one is more precise than any of the others I've tried. It's the one I'm keeping for the long term and it is well worth the price! Hope that helps!

I like the scale so far (4 days). I have been looking for the visceral fat score that one of the persons answering a question mentioned. I also asked a question about that, but the question "disappeared" without being answered. Then I commented on that person's post, in the hopes of getting help finding the elusive visceral fat score. My comment on that disappeared as well. So as far as I can tell, this model (H20n) does not perform visceral fat calculation (and questions about it mysteriously disappear from the list of "questions", even after I saw them listed originally). Since the scale arrived, I've been watching what I eat, and I have increased my exercise level, from almost nothing to about 30 minutes a day, including some light weight lifting, and walking. I took my measurements for the past three days at around 7 AM, carefully wearing the same short-sleeved shirt, and shorts. I've eaten the basically same things on each of the days. Each successive day my body fat mass and percent body fat have gone UP, and my skeletal muscle mass has gone DOWN. At the same time my weight has decreased a little bit. The measurements are given at one place after the decimal, for example: 25.2%. I can feel that my arm and leg muscles have gotten harder since I started, but this is not yet reflected on my scale. According to the scale, I have lost 0.7 pounds of muscle, and gained 1.3 pounds of fat in these three days of working hard. Maybe this represents that metabolic reorganization, in which muscles break down before they build up? Maybe it's just noise that will resolve once I have enough measurements for a meaningful trend. I realize it's very early days. The results will hopefully not keep going in the "wrong" direction forever! I guess you have to take these measurements with a grain of salt, and not measure too often. Anyway, it's very interesting to have a window into what is happening in the body, even if the view is not always clear. The mobile app was easy to set up. It did ask for access to my Contacts list when I pressed the "Ranking" button. I skipped that part for now. Without giving InBody access to your contacts, you'll have access to a "Results" section that gives you the following categories: Weight, Skeletal Muscle Mass, Body Fat Mass, BMI, Percent Body Fat, and Basal Metabolic Rate. You also have access to a "History" section that presents line graphs of the categories mentioned above, over time. The other section is "Ranking", which brings up a dialog box asking for access to your Contacts (I included a screen shot of it). I don't know what happens if one does allow access to one's contacts. Can anyone who did it clarify? There are two ways to take measurements. You can initiate a measurement by pressing the power button on the scale. Those measurements will not be included in your history. The other way is to first press the red plus (+) button in the InBody app (you can see it in the screen shot too). Then you receive instructions to press the power button on your scale, and the measurements you take are synced with the app, and included in your history. The measurements initiated from the scale include everything except the body fat mass and the basal metabolic rate score. You have to make sure you move the dial on the scale to correspond to your height. The app takes a lot of battery power from my phone, so I make sure to swipe it away when I'm done using it for the day.

I've had my scale for about 4 years now. I've found it to be extremely accurate, more so than I expected. While attending an Army school, my group all went to the Army Wellness center, and we were tested in a Bod Pod and with several other high-tech devices to get a list of our body metrics at the beginning and end of the course. My scale gave the same metrics for weight, body fat, muscle mass etc as was determined by the Bod Pod and other devices. I wish it also tracked water like the larger InBody devices - but I have no complaints. I've never had to change the battery and never had a problem synching with the app.

The weight tracking is accurate, muscle mass is accurate, body water accurate. The body fat is not accurate in comparison to professional InBody machines. I track monthly and this reads higher than my actual number. I use this scale as a range to stay within.

My whole family uses this scale. It’s so helpful and more useful than the other regular scales. We love it!
