Does this device measure body fat? Also, is there anywhere we can see everything it does measure?

It does NOT measure body fat. With the link you get updates of what it does measure to your smart phone app or online through a computer.

This one does distance, steps taken and calories. I always question how accurate the calories are on these little pedometers but then I question that on any exercise machines also. Let's face it, if we eat too much we know it.

No. It does monitor calories and your sleep pattern. You will be surprised how often you are not in a deep sleep.

No, it does not require a heart monitor. It tracks your calories by how much it estimates based on your movements. I think it is pretty good at sensing movements. Again, I have no problems with it other that you care barely read the screen. I wish the background was dark and the numbers were light.

No it doesn't. It does calculate the % of calories burned that come from fat though,

We bought one, and it doesn't work. It only tells our weight. It doesn't save another persons record. We did not want to incur more expense by sending it back. It is attractive, and looks nice in our bathroom. So, we use I only to weigh ourselves, and we are happy with with it. The other features are kinda weird, like hydration...I think these other features are just "smoke and mirrors". They can't seem to make them work.

Yes, unless you never move your arms...! The unit strongly picks up arm movement, maybe even above foot movement. It would be useful to pause and check heart rate. That allow unit to figure calorie burn through the day, and particularly during activity.

No, it actually estimates body fat which is far more useful to evaluate progress. BMI is a statistic used to measure likelihood of excessive body fat.

It is not "truly 100% accurate" but cose enough for most people's needs. A device that accurately measures your calorie burn is expensive and cumbersome and would need to measure more than just your heart rate.

No, it does not. There are only four measurements: weight, body fat %, water weight %, and bone density %.

Yse it does, HOWEVER caveat emptor: let the buyer beware!!! This scale was WAY off both weight wise and body fat wise compared to 2 other scales.I compared it to a Taylor scale I had at home as well as a professional Tanita my weight loss coach has, and this scale was off by at least 3% body fat (this scale measured less body fat) and by at least 2 pounds (over).Be warned...

If you can get a connection, it will give you basic info only. It has gauges to measure different things, but I have not been able to get them to tell me anything.

Yes it sure does!!! It lights up bone mass and shows you the number for bone mass. Then lights up body fat % and gives you the number for that. It will go through all 4 components and let you know your numbers! :)

This version does not, please see this option for a Body Fat monitor: Weight Gurus Digital Body Fat Scale with Large Backlit LCD and Smartphone Tracking (black)

I don't know how accurate the bodyfat, bone mass index... But the weight is accurate. By just putting a heavy weight say a luggage or weights on this scale, it will still show the bodyfat and bone density. Haha... So I think it's is just a calculation and not really measured by the silver metal plate over the scale.

No, this model only measures weight. Their other model (black) measures other things.

It's a great unit. It measures your HR thru a chest strap which works perfect. I've never had any issues with it. Yes, It can measure your HR out of the box but to get an accurate calorie count and max HR you need to perform a test which is really simple and it gives you the instructions on what to do. The calorie and HR count are accurate. Great buy. :)
