Weight Watchers Body Fat Scale Review

The Weight Watchers Body Fat Scale measures body fat percentage and allow you to continually track changes from the convenience and privacy of your own home.

Weight Watchers sells a wide variety of body fat monitoring scales designed to assist you in reaching your weight management goals. The scales are made by Conair and come in several configurations. Over 12 models are available in this product line. The scales measure body fat using bio-impedance technology. This technology sends a safe level of electrical current through your body in order to calculate your body fat percentage. The speed that it travels through your muscle and fat is used for this calculation. Other factors that affect the calculation are gender, height, age and weight. The accuracy of readings can change depending on how hydrated you are, how dry your feet are or how calloused they are. These devices have to be used in your bare feet as they will not work through your socks.

The full line of Weight Watchers Body Fat Scales features easy-to-read digital displays, some as large as 3 inches. All weight numbers can be given in pounds or kilograms and the units come equipped with long-life batteries. Weight capabilities range from a maximum of 330 pounds up to 400 pounds. With over 12 models, there are also many styles available from basic to elegant to modern, any of which would look great in your home.

There are also several functional combinations. Depending on the scale you purchase, you will have to the ability to measure or calculate your weight, your body fat percentage, your hydration level, your body mass index, and/or your bone mass. Some models also calculate the change in your weight from use to use. Most models store date for up to 10 users, although several models store less. Additionally, many models are made with extra-wide platforms for easier use. Conair offers a 10 year limited warranty on these scales which is one of the longest in the industry.

Weight Watchers scales are of average quality and perform OK, but not great. Overall, we recommend that you purchase a Tanita Scale if you want really good results. Otherwise, a WW scale will perform at a satisfactory level.
