eufy by Anker Smart Scale P3, Digital Bathroom Scale for Body Weight, FSA HSA Eligible, 3D Virtual Body Mode, 16-Measurement Digital Bluetooth and WiFi Weight Scale with bmi, Body Fat, Muscle Mass

This scale was easy to setup and use right out of the box. All you had to do was pop in the batteries and download the app. You can use it without the App, but the selling features is that it auto-syncs to Apple Health, which is why I bought it.Once setup in the app, you can start using it immediately. It takes several biometric measurements and can support multiple users in one household. I havent had it super long, but battery life so far does not seem like an issue. It can support up to 400lbs and it even includes a mode for weighing your dog!Overall it seems like a well built scale with a feature set that provides a good bang for your buck!

What's important is that this scale is consistent with weight measurements. It's also pretty accurate in weight. I measured a 25lb weight and it measured 24.9lbs. While I don't know how accurate the other health metrics are like fat % and muscle mass, I'm hoping they are consistent as I don't expect them to be very accurate as compared to a DEXA scan. I may do that as I think I get free yearly dexa scans so I can update on how accurate it is if I do that.Everything worked flawlessly out of the box including the sync with the app. The app is easy to use and specific to the scale and not an all-in-one app where other scales include their metrics with their companies app which supports smart homes and stuff like that. Simple, easy to use and it works.

I was looking for a scale that would have a long life - even in a humid bathroom, and would sync with Garmin. This one fits the bill and more. I'm very happy with it. Below is my experience with it so far.But first, there is some misinformation in some of the other reviews, at least based on the current version of the app, so I'll take a moment to share current state.You can set whether you want the scale to show your weight in pounds, in kilograms, or in stones in the app. It remembers the setting. You can also use a button on the bottom of the scale to switch between unit types (when the app connects, its setting will override the button).You can turn off the electrical signals (used to measure bioimpedence for body fat and other body composition calculations the scale makes). You will want to do this if you are pregnant or have a pacemaker or other ICD. In the app, set the scale to Simple mode. It will then record your weight and will forego the other measurements.You can share it with others in the household, and it will automatically distinguish between users whose weight differs by around 6 pounds or more. If you are all similar weights, it won't distinguish and you have to help by manually switching the user in the app.Ok, on with the pros and cons.PROSIt is precise. Multiple weigh-ins all in a row are the same, or in the case of body fat percentage, are very, very close.I keep my scale in the bathroom, so I love that this scale has an IPX5 rating and I don't have to worry if it happens to get sprayed with some water.My husband and I both use it and it automatically detects us and gives us each our own data on our phone. (Our weights are significantly different, and it does not confuse us.)It supports syncing with the Eufy app over wifi if your have it available where the scale is. This is a much more reliable communication method than Bluetooth (less spotty, less hiccups and associated delay), and it doesn't require you to have your phone near the scale in order to sync.It also supports syncing with the Eufy app using Bluetooth if or when you don't have wifi available. Any smart phone or tablet can connect this way.With somewhat convoluted app-to-app-to-app communication, I can in fact have my weight go automatically to Garmin Connect (eufy -> Fitbit -> MyFitnessPal -> Garmin Connect). I hope this doesn't break before eufy gives us something more direct.You can track body measurements in the app, and they provide a measuring tape with the scale. If you're serious about losing fat and keeping muscle, or about increasing muscle, this is much more important to track than overall weight. I love that they have this in the app!Weigh-ins are relatively quick.Turning it on is easy - just a quick partial step onto it and off again and then it's ready.The app is actively being changed and worked on.CONSMeasuring bioimpedence is not a very accurate way to measure body fat percentage and body composition. This is true of any scale you stand on for the measurement, not just this one.The default setting in the app for it to remind you to weigh daily is awful and ill-advised. I quickly unchecked each day to just turn this off. A default of weekly is much more in-line.There is a lot of information in the app that seemed "hidden" to me. It's definitely worthwhile going to the FAQs on the Eufy site and skimming through the ones on app features.Note: The pro version adds a heart rate measurement and the ability to get the bioimpedence measure without making sure your feet are on the metal sensors. Neither of these was of interest to me, so I went with the less expensive version.

Ok so - let's start with a hilarious story (lol). Let me preface this by saying, I promise I'm not making fun of myself or anything like that - the way this turned out, however, was too good not to include in this review.I've been on a fitness journey for a long time and I was made aware of this scale by my Eufy app that I use with my robot vacuum/mop. They were offering me a deal on the previous generation scale through the app, I was taken to their store to buy it, saw this one instead, loved this one more, and ended up buying this one on Amazon. The scale arrived, I hooked it up, all seemed fine. It went through everything I was supposed to in order to calibrate, set it up, etc. Again, all fine. My initial calibration had my normal Eufy avatar it created (dude in white shirt and black pants, white guy, blonde hair, blue eyes, etc.). After my first actual weigh in...The first thing the app says:BMI - EXTREMELY HIGHBody Fat % - EXTREMELY HIGHBody Fat Mass - EXTREMELY HIGHVisceral Fat - EXTREMELY HIGHSubcutaneous Fat - HighBody Type - ObeseIt’s like, OMG THANK YOU for telling me all the things I didn’t know LOLI kind of just would have preferred if it was like:“Ok so BLIMPINA, I am SO HAPPY you bought me so I can just make fun of you the ENTIRE TIME while you stand on me ❤️ — Love, EufyScale”Don’t get me wrong - it’s super neat and works incredibly well ~OH WAIT - It did give me a 👍🏻and said KEEP GOING! #cheerleaderThe ultimate ending here... after the first weigh in, it changed my entire avatar to match my complexion and basically blimped me out L O L !Do you remember that viral vid back in the day of the lady getting on the Wii Fit scale and it blew up her avatar like a balloon? It is basically the 2024 version of that ~ sigh lolAnyway, the 4 out of 5 star rating is not because of that (mostly because what I just went through was hilarious lol). The 4 out of 5 star rating is because the heart rate monitor built in doesn't really work. It occasionally works, but I would not trust it if you are using this for fitness. Use an Apple/Samsung watch or Oura ring - something like that instead.Thanks :D ~
