Overall review

Overall, the Weight Gurus Bluetooth Smart Connected Body Fat Scale is a lower end, digital scale, but does what it is designed to do.

There are a few little bug bears with the device and the main one if that you need to take a pic of the barcode every time your weight yourself, so that the scale can log your information.

Another small issue is the fact the application doesn’t seem to store bone and water mass, but as mentioned earlier, there are other applications you can download that will log these if that is important for you.

  1. My partner got me the weight Guru scale for my birthday in the new year as I wanted to measure more than just my weight. Having health issues, it is important for me to check my body vitals everyday and store them so I can identify which foods and medicines are working for me.

    I am not a technical person so my friend helped me set it up so that it knows me when I stand on it. I couldn’t believe how it automatically logs my information and believe me, its a good job the website is user friendly otherwise I would of been lost. If I can use the Weight Guru anyone can. Probably the best gift I ever received.

  2. My scale tracks my weight just fine, sending it to my iPhone. I am designated U1 and have had no problem. It has been very difficult to get it to work for my wife. We have designated her as U2. We set it up with her iPhone and it will send one weighing to her iPhone then, the next day, it stops recognizing her as U2. We set up the scale exactly the same way as for me. We have set her up as U2 about a dozen times and the initial weigh in is the only one we can get the scale to recognize. We are significantly different in weight so it should be able to differentiate between us.
    What can we do to get it to continue recognizing her as U2????

  3. I like the scale but I don’t understand why the the water weight and muscle mass numbers never change. I’ve lost quite a few pounds and have been lifting weights so it seems like these numbers would change over time just as the body weight, bmi, and body fat numbers do.

  4. I’d like to know how the scale figures out these other numbers beyond weight. Just by standing on it. Usually BMI relates weight to height. It surely does not know my height. But all in all I find it a good product and my wife and I both use it without problems. She is U1 and I am U2.
