The Good.

Switch the unit to “Weightless Technology”. No, you won’t weigh light as a feather or as heavy as that jacked guy you aspire to at the gym, weightless technology displays only your weight change progress so far to boost your confidence. Accuracy is incredibly important to any digital scale and we love that your current activity level can be set from 1 being sedentary to 5 being heavily active so that the calculations are adjusted and much more accurate.

The app is free to download and runs on any apple or android smart phone with a camera. TheWeight Gurus Digital Body Fat Scale with Large Backlit LCD and Smartphone Tracking comes with a massive five-year warrantee, we think that’s very good in the world of digital scales where one year is standard and is indicative of the quality of the unit. The Weight Gurus webiste also contains a lot of useful information including FAQs and videos for ease of use, nice touches.
The Bad
This weight scale is not wireless, it takes a little time and extra effort to scan the display using your phone so that your results are tracked via Weight Gurus App. We couldn’t sync the app with any other fitness tracker directly but you can export to excel and import if supported to other apps. We found it unusual that BMI was not calculated, but then we all know BMI doesn’t give anything but a very rough indication of health. This weight scale although sleek and contemporary lacks the aesthetics of some of the other scales we tested.
Conclusion
The five-year warrantee is a huge selling point for theWeight Gurus Digital Body Fat Scale with Large Backlit LCD and Smartphone Tracking, perhaps this demonstrates the company’s confidence in the USA design, do be aware that this unit is manufactured in China. Although some might view the lack of wireless tracking an inconvenience, we believe the quality of the scale and particularly the affordability is well worth it. As far as Weightless Technology goes, we don’t see much point to it, who won’t do the quick math to see how much they weigh? If you are looking for an entry level priced tracking system, top quality and support with reasonable looks then Weight Gurus is the bathroom scale we highly recommend.
