Unfortunately, the impedence scales are notoriously inaccurate. Electricity will always try to find the quickest way to ground and depending on the hydration and elecrolyte levels on any given day you may get different results. Plus, they don’t always get a good cross-section.
The most accurate ways are hydrostatic testing, "bod pods" and MRIs, though they can be expensive and hard to find depending on where one lives. Proper use of inexpensive hand calipers are actually quite accurate in comparison to other means.
Yes they are, but it vary from different brands. Most hospitals use digitial ones now.
thats right the aren’t.
They’re as accurate as any other scale, you still need to calibrate it every so often, and check the batteries. And just like regular scales, you get what you pay for.
i dont think they are..i have one and i weigh myself in the morning.one morning i got on as soon as i got up and it said 127 so i was happy and i got off and for some reason i decided to get back on like a minute after and it said 130…weird.

It depends on the scale – some scales are better than others, whether digital or dial. Your weight is likely to change by 1/2 to 2 pounds a day depending on what you eat, retaining water, whether you just had a BM, etc.
Weigh yourself at the same time each day with the same clothing on (or better yet no clothes on). That way, you’ll minimize the other factors that affect what the scale says.
If a scale is "off," it will be in one of two ways: (1) it will be consistently inaccurate, for example 2 pounds heavy. If you have access to a second scale, check you own scale’s accuracy against it, (2) it will be unreliable, which means it might be a pound heavy one day, a pound light the next day and so on. That means you need a better scale.
Not 100% accurate. Like ounces. But they are like only 1% error rate. Accurate enough for most of us. I find that doctor office scales REALLY not accurate. Reason; if you move side to side, the weight on the scale goes up and down. Go side to side on digital, the weight stays the same.
As far as weight it is 99% accurate.I have a scale with weight and bodyfat and i would say the weight is 100% accurate and the bf% is not even close to being accurate.
Some brands are more reliable than others. I read many reviews on Amazon before ordering mine. I would say it’s accurate for 95% of the times I use it.
They are definitely more accurate than regular spring-type scales.
That said, you do need to make sure it is calibrated right and that the batteries are good.
i’d say yes they are accurate
