I purchased the Renpho as it also syncs with Apple's Health App. So now I have an Apple Watch, scales, and other various health/diet Apps feeding Apple Health a lot of data. The Renpho scales have fantastic features for a budget price.
@@Yeahnahme I agree! I've found that to be the case with my clients as well. That's why, in my app, when they enter their body weights and the weights they're lifting, it creates a graph.
Just bought an ETek scale. The weight seems correct but I know the body fat % is not, seems extremely high. I’ve always been tested at much lower number. Thanks for the great information.
Liked the video instantly due to the H3 Legendary Edition Master Chief helmet haha. The best Halo collectable, non-debatable. Reach statue would be cool, if Reach didn't suck lmao. H1-H3 ftw. 343 Halos don't even compare xD That aside, great review. I'm looking for a scale for my parents and these 2 (due to the price) are the obvious choices. I'm leaning more towards the Etekcity, as they (nor I) have ever owned a "Smart Scale", so cheaping out first time isn't an issue. If they like it, and they actually use the smart features (both have a FitBit (Versa 2 & Charge 3)), then upgrading to a more accurate, more expensive, scale would be worth it. :)
No, they don't. Based on how bioimpedance scales work, there's no way for them to be able to measure that information. I made a video where I explain how they work if you're interested: ruclips.net/video/o1QDugug7mE/видео.html
@@RyanTreadaway Your BMI was much higher on the etekcity scale so it seems you didn't set your height correctly or the scale messed it up, this will for sure mess up the body fat
Which scale are you referring to? In either case, there's no extra setup necessary beyond what I show in this video. If you've went through the setup process I've shown and it's not displaying all the information, you may have a faulty unit.
I personally like the renpho scale better. Etekcity did send me another model that's a bit fancier and actually has the readout for all the different measurements on the scale. I'm reviewing that one in a couple of weeks.
@@RyanTreadaway out of curiosity have your considered doing a reveiw of the different renpho models? They seem to be the unchallenged king of smart scales every where i look. It would be interesting to know what they give you for there premium models vs what you miss out on for the basics. And just what your opinion is on the best value within the renpho family of scales
To be honest, I like this model. I feel like it has everything you need. I also like the iDOO scale (also made by Renpho). I have a video of it on the channel as well.
@@RyanTreadaway fair enough. I saw the idoo video as well. I'll look them over again and probably go with one of them. Thanks. When i started looking for scales recently your videos have been by far the most helpful
Very professional review! People would like it. We are also selling scale on Amazon named as "AIRSCALE", could you please so kind to help to make a review if we send you a sample?
It can't though. The current is only strong enough to go through one leg and out the other. It only measures the bottom half of your body and has to make a guess about your upper body. Working out regularly will drastically change the body fat content of your upper body.
@@user-xy4ff5yp7b Now you know! Bioimpedance is the most convenient way to track body fat but it's also the least accurate. I explain how it works in my original review of the Renpho scale if you want to check it out: ruclips.net/video/o1QDugug7mE/видео.html
you are nowhere near 14% body fat for sure :)! You are 20-25%. Update. I just received the scales and my body fat is 15% i am definitely not 15%. My abs still covered with small layer of fat and can not be seen :)

Which of these scales are you picking up?
Not the etekicity lol, the REN is accurate for sure
I definitely enjoy mine!
@@RyanTreadaway Just bought the RENPHO with your link. Thanks!
@@juliennedesjardins5383 thanks for your support! I hope you like the scale as much as I have!
Do u pay for anything else on a monthly basis or do u just buy it and connect it. What I'm saying is it free. I really need to knowm

I'm glad you like it! I feel the same way. I'm in the same situation as you, except with Samsung instead of apple.
Ryan Treadaway I'm loving all the different data available. It makes setting goals a lot easier and more fun imo.
@@Yeahnahme I agree! I've found that to be the case with my clients as well. That's why, in my app, when they enter their body weights and the weights they're lifting, it creates a graph.
Ryan Treadaway Just to clarify, you have your own App?
@@Yeahnahme I do! It's a members only app though. It's available to the people I train online.
Extremely helpful! Concise, covered all the important points. Sharp like the stache.
Thanks my friend! Glad you enjoyed it!
Bro your mustache goes hard no cap Im a new sub
Thanks mate! haha
Exactly, the comparison I was looking for! Thanks!
I'm gladly it was helpful for you!
1) Do either pair with Fitbit app?
2) Are these still the recommended models for these brands?
Sorry it took me so long to respond! I haven't researched smart scales in a while but we do still use the renpho one every day!

I agree. Their estimation algorithm seems off.

You're right. H3 for the win! As for the scale, the prices on them vary. You may can catch the Renpho at a cheaper price.
Bro halo reach in the top 5 halos easily
Hi Ryan, does both these scales show muscle mass broken down into (1) Trunk (2) Arms (3) Legs, etc? Thanks bro
No, they don't. Based on how bioimpedance scales work, there's no way for them to be able to measure that information. I made a video where I explain how they work if you're interested: ruclips.net/video/o1QDugug7mE/видео.html
Thanks Ryan
@@alexhoo98 happy to help my friend!
I noticed that you can input your measurements into the renpho scale. So you know if doing this helps getting more accurate results from the scale?
Yes! Your height is taken into account for all the measurements other than body weight.
@@RyanTreadaway Your BMI was much higher on the etekcity scale so it seems you didn't set your height correctly or the scale messed it up, this will for sure mess up the body fat
@@libtrs838 you might be right. I'm pretty sure I set the height correctly but it's also been a couple of years since this video.
Wait should I get the black or white version of the renpho or is there no difference apart from color?
Just color. I'd personally get the white though. The black will show dirt, dust, etc.
@@RyanTreadaway thank you a lot for responding and the opinion 😇have a good day👍.
@@andersonvasquez8779 thanks! You have a great day as well!
Does this pair with an apple watch or my fitness pal?
I say in what they connect to later in the video. I believe they both connect with Apple if I'm remembering correctly.
Hi on the renpho does it record daily weight? Happy new year
Happy New Year! Yes it does. It plots your daily weights on a graph and you can view the chart as week, month, or year.
Great video man!
Thanks, cheetah! Glad you liked it.
How did you get it to give you all the numbers? Mine only gives me the weight and BMI
Which scale are you referring to? In either case, there's no extra setup necessary beyond what I show in this video. If you've went through the setup process I've shown and it's not displaying all the information, you may have a faulty unit.
So what repho scale is this ?? What etekcity scale is it ?? That'd be super helpful lol
The links are in the description. At the time I made this video, I think each company only had one scale each.
How in the heck does this guy weigh 192lbs? He looks 160 tops, unless maybe he's freakishly tall.
Here's me: bit.ly/htmmptsf
6 ft.
Which one u think is better
I personally like the renpho scale better. Etekcity did send me another model that's a bit fancier and actually has the readout for all the different measurements on the scale. I'm reviewing that one in a couple of weeks.
I would like to vote for renpho
I agree with your vote!
So they are mostly equal. But all the places that they aren't renpho wins and is almost half the price. Got it
Pretty much. Lol

Great review! Great content, and the Gby got you a sub. 🙏🏼 Lol. Gby too! I think I may go with the REMPHO. Thanks!
I enjoy it! Etekcity sent a different model for review and I'll have it up in a week or two. I'm not sure it can replace the renpho though.
Since when did a British villain has a review channel?
Since 2017. 🙂
Very professional review! People would like it. We are also selling scale on Amazon named as "AIRSCALE", could you please so kind to help to make a review if we send you a sample?
I don't see your scale. Can you send me a link so I can look at it?
It should be able to estimate your body fat percentage accurately without having to be told you’re an athlete
It can't though. The current is only strong enough to go through one leg and out the other. It only measures the bottom half of your body and has to make a guess about your upper body. Working out regularly will drastically change the body fat content of your upper body.
Ryan Treadaway Wow very interesting information. Thanks for letting me know. I did wonder why other bodyfat machines had handheld devices also
@@user-xy4ff5yp7b Now you know! Bioimpedance is the most convenient way to track body fat but it's also the least accurate. I explain how it works in my original review of the Renpho scale if you want to check it out: ruclips.net/video/o1QDugug7mE/видео.html

Happy to help!
you are nowhere near 14% body fat for sure :)! You are 20-25%.
Update. I just received the scales and my body fat is 15% i am definitely not 15%. My abs still covered with small layer of fat and can not be seen :)
I'm not sure you know what 20-25% body fat looks like. 25% Body fat is obese.
@@RyanTreadaway you clearly dont know what 14 looks like 😀
It looks something like this: bit.ly/2vVmTi6
Lol he's definitely not 20-25% bf, it's hard to tell cuz he's got a shirt on but he looks pretty cut.
@@drake10X look at his arms there is no definition at all. Therefore he can not be cut 😀
