In the fierce competition in the body fat scale market, which mainstream product is better?

　　With the improvement of living standards, people are eating more meat and fish, which also brings a burden to happiness for many people - excess fat. Obesity has become one of the top ten chronic diseases identified by the World Health Organization and is also an important cause of diabetes. Obesity not only affects health, but also affects appearance. Now is the time to show arms and legs. Are many girls still wrapped up tightly because of excess fat and endure the torment of the hot summer? So many people have embarked on the long and arduous road of weight loss. Now many people who are losing weight and exercising are keen to buy body fat scales. What is a body fat scale? Why do they need a body fat scale?

　　What is a body fat scale? Why do I need one?

　　In the eyes of many people, losing weight is equal to losing weight. In fact, this is a misunderstanding. We can see in life that some people with the same height and weight look thinner. This is because the ratio of muscle and fat is different. Muscle of the same weight is smaller in volume than fat. People with more muscle look thinner. Therefore, the key to losing weight is to reduce the proportion of fat in body weight, that is, to reduce body fat percentage.

　　Now body fat percentage has replaced weight as the standard for measuring whether a person is fat or thin, and whether he is healthy. Women with a body fat percentage of 17%-25% and men with a body fat percentage of 10%-18% are considered to be in good shape, with obvious abdominal muscles, and their body fat percentage is basically below 15%.

　　If you want to know your body fat percentage, you need a body fat scale. The body fat scale can get weight, body fat percentage, BMI, water content and other data through testing, measure fatness and thinness, monitor weight loss or fitness effects, and give corresponding tips and suggestions. Want to know if you have lost weight? An accurate and easy-to-use body fat scale is the best choice.

　　The measurement principle of body fat scale

　　Currently, the body fat scales on the market basically use the bioimpedance measurement method, which sends electric current to the human body to test the body's resistance. The measured value is calculated with the subject's height, weight, age, gender and other information to obtain data such as body fat percentage.

　　Which body fat scale is more suitable?

　　There are many brands and products of body fat scales at present, and the quality is uneven. Judging from the sales on JD.com, the Haotizhi M1 body fat scale , Huawei CH18 body fat scale , and Huawei Honor body fat scale are the three mainstream body fat scales at present. Which of these three is more suitable to buy? Let's test and compare them together today.

　　1. Appearance design

　　In an age where appearance is everything, appearance is also a necessary condition for choosing a body fat scale. Ornamental and functional are important aspects of measuring the appearance of a body fat scale. Ornamental design includes material, color, corners, etc., while functional design includes stability and data display.

　　Haotizhi Body Fat Scale M1

　　The Haotizhi body fat scale M1 is a masterpiece of the Red Dot Award design team. Unlike most body fat scales, it does not take the Mini route, but uses a larger scale surface of 20×320mm. It has a wide audience range and there is no need to worry about large foot sizes. The wide scale surface also makes the center of gravity more stable and the weighing more accurate.

　　The Haotizhi body fat scale M1 uses a full-size ultra-white tempered glass panel, which has a strong weighing capacity and will not leave scratches. The replaceable colorful anti-collision protective cover adopts a rounded edge design, which is very durable and anti-bumping. The scale surface uses ITO advanced conductive coating, which not only ensures more accurate measurement data, but also the butterfly-shaped design adds a bit of agility to the entire scale surface, which looks very fashionable. The hidden LED display has clear digital display, and the red numbers also appear more coordinated and beautiful against the white background.

　　There is a battery compartment on the back of the scale, and it can be used after installing 4 free No. 7 batteries. The four foot pads are far apart, and have a non-slip layer on them, which has a strong grip and feels relatively stable when standing on them.

　　Huawei CH18 Body Fat Scale

　　Huawei CH18 body fat scale is a mini scale with a scale surface size of 300×300mm. The surface uses a large area of ​​tempered glass. The Huawei logo and lines are divided according to the golden ratio. The overall design is simple and stylish, and looks comfortable.

　　The edge of the tempered glass is polished by CNC, with smooth curves and beautiful appearance. The scale surface is also coated with ITO, and the measurement accuracy is relatively high. The invisible LED design, combined with the black background, makes the data display clearer.

　　There is also a battery compartment on the back of the scale, which comes with 4 No. 7 batteries when you buy it. Although the four foot pads do not have anti-slip pads, they are large in area, so the stability is good after standing on them.

　　Huawei Honor Body Fat Scale

　　Honor is a brand under Huawei, and its product designs are sometimes very similar. Except for the color and logo, the appearance design of this Huawei Honor body fat scale and the Huawei CH18 body fat scale are basically the same, so I will not repeat them here.

 

 

　　From the overall appearance of the three scales, the designs of the three scales are very outstanding and beautiful. They all use tempered glass panels and ITO coatings, which ensure good load-bearing capacity and measurement accuracy. Among them, the panel of the Haotizhi body fat scale M1 is the largest, and the foot pads have an anti-slip design, which is more stable, and the red LED numbers are clearer than the white numbers of the other two. In addition, the black panel of the Huawei CH18 body fat scale is very dirty and not easy to take care of.

　　★Test details

　　1. APP usage experience comparison

　　Body fat scales are different from ordinary weight scales. They measure more than simple data such as weight and body fat percentage. Instead, they use resistance data to estimate the water content, muscle mass, bone mass, body age, etc. Before use, you need to download and install the corresponding APP, and then measure, and the data will be displayed on the mobile phone APP.

　　The Haotizhi body fat scale M1 needs to search for "Haotizhi" in the Android App Store or Apple App Store or scan the QR code on the product user guide to install the APP. After downloading and opening it, you need to register and log in with your mobile phone number, turn on Bluetooth to connect to the body fat scale, fill in gender, date of birth, height and other data, get on the scale and click "Measure on the scale" on the APP to measure. After the measurement is completed, the APP will display 21 data such as weight, fat, water, protein, bone, muscle, and body fat rate. The APP will also display the status of reaching and failing the standard; the monthly and annual trends of weight, fat mass, body fat rate, muscle, water, and bone; weekly and monthly health reports; exercise suggestions and nutrition suggestions based on test data, exercise step counting and dietary management, etc. The detection content is not only rich, but also easy to use. In addition, it can add up to 20 members, which means that the APP can support 20 people to use together.

 

　　Huawei CH18 body fat scale needs to scan the QR code in the product quick guide or search for "Huawei Sports Health" in the application market/App Store, download and install Huawei Sports Health APP, and after opening the APP, you need to register with your mobile phone number, etc., and then enter the "My" interface. After adding the corresponding device, follow the prompts to pair it. After pairing, fill in gender, birthday, height, weight and other information, and you can use it. When measuring, click "Start Measurement" on the APP and step on the body fat scale. Soon the APP will display 11 data such as basal metabolic rate, BMI, water rate, weight, fat rate, and muscle mass. In addition, the report can also query the records of the last three tests, and can also query the changing trends of weight, fat rate, and muscle mass. It looks more intuitive, and up to 10 members can be added. However, when using it for measurement, be sure to pay attention that squatting, bending the knees, lower deviation from the ITO film, and knees close together will affect the accuracy of the data.

　　Except for selecting Huawei Honor Body Fat Scale when adding a device, the installation method and display items of the Huawei Honor Body Fat Scale APP are exactly the same. Of course, the specific detection data are not exactly the same.

　　In order to have a clearer understanding of what the three scales can measure, the following table is compiled:

　　From the usage of the three apps, downloading and registering the apps are similar, and the main difference is the number of displayed items and the number of members supported for sharing. In comparison, the 21 items of data displayed by the Haotizhi Body Fat Scale M1 APP not only beat the other two apps in seconds, but also support up to 20 people to share, which is much more than the 10 people of the other two apps. Moreover, each item of data in the Haotizhi Body Fat Scale M1 APP has corresponding analysis and explanation, as well as exercise and nutrition suggestions. Overall, the functions are more powerful and the design is more user-friendly.
