      So I have one of the newest bodpods, as well as dexa, inbody, and multiple other items in my lab. BodPod is the gold standard in most cases. Dexa is as well but harder to find due to the readiation license, and it finds a little higher fat because of the brain and spine. What i can say is the bodpod was ran very poorly, and I doubt she used the right density model. All the hair sticking out the back, going to trap air and drop the body fat big time. And there was no accounting for the beards.

    Love this video! I had never heard of the Bod Pod, and it's interesting to see how the cheaper options stack up! I was hoping you would have done the Garmin scale, especially their latest version the S2, which allows you to input data from a DeXA scan (or other outside sources) to help it improve its accuracy. I only have the first version of the Garmin scale which doesn't allow for this, and I think it underestimates my bodyfat - it says I'm like 9% when I'm pretty sure I'm closer to 20%, also that number has changed drastically since I started intermittent fasting - it used to estimate me at 16% bodyfat, when I think I was more low 20s back then. I should really just get a DeXA scan, although the exact number isn't that important to me, I just want to see accuracy in day-to-day changes. Also I hope something replaces Amazon Halo for its simplicity, never got to try it.
    Thanks again though! This was great!

    Excellent content, love the comparisons. I've done a Dexa and tried a lot of the devices, my Withings (older Body+) is pretty on-par with the Dexa, but being an impedance method, it fluctuates with body water levels, but they've done some work on that in the Withings app. I just wish they'd come out with a middle-ground mode for these devices instead of just "Athlete" and "Normal". Oddly, the 3-site caliper method tends to align with my Withings in "Athlete" mode, and Dexa tends to align with it in "Normal" mode.
    If you do this again, I'd say try some calipers, and Hydrostatic Weighing. We were taught in school that Hydrostatic Weighing was the gold standard (pre-Dexa, mind you) and more accurate than the BodPod method -- with calipers being heavily dependent on the technician, and impedance being a "ballpark" tool.

  • @rrro-nj2cd
    @rrro-nj2cd 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    The thing is this: anything using bio electrical impedance (scales, watches, handhelds, etc) have a pretext protocol to minimize the error (-/+ 3-6%). An 8-12hr fast followed by voiding your body of waste. The scans (DEXA and BODPOD) most likely have similar protocols. This could account for the varying reading in the home products. If I remember correctly, women who experience their monthly cycle should test at the same time monthly to minimize any variances caused by it. Double check this information as it was current about a decade or so ago when I was personal training. ACSM and ACE training standards are a good place to start for information on this.

    Very interesting comparison! Thank you for putting it together! I use the Samsung Galaxy Watch estimate, as it is included with the watch. I also use calipers and measure at three points on the body. In my experience the Samsung seems to track my changes pretty well, and corresponds to what my eyes tell me. Based on your limited sample it looks like it's about 20% off, up or down, but as long as its repeatability (you call it accuracy, but actually it's called reliability) is high, the within the individual measurement reliability will be a "good enough" to gauge individual changes, even though the absolute may be off by 20%.

    The thing about the Zozo Suit that they didnt say is thatthey are not one size fits all. You have to get the suit that is your size. Doing so will eliminate some of the errors you get. But I like ot for the measurements because I hated iaing tape. I also do it in a room that doesn't have a lot of objects in the background. It connects to google fit too.

    4:20 I have a Galaxy Watch myself and it has always been pretty consistent.
    First of all, you measure using the MIDDLE and RING fingers, not the index and middle fingers like in the video.
    Secondly, you have to put in your height for the primary account in the Samsung Health app. Then the watch will calculate using your existing height. It seems like in the video, they all use the same account while they are not the same height? So that might explain the inaccuracy results?

    Good to see someone do a test with the actual devices. I had the Omron until the cable broke. Then the Renpho, wasn't sure the Result is accurate like you say, now I trust EEBBL Digital Smart Body Fat Scale, has an affordable price, and it seems, it does a good job, shows a lot of parameters.

    • @sassuki

      Well, the cable broke because you probably used it as wrong as these guys. If you check the manual, you will see that the display is supposed to be in line with the cable when you measure, not twisted towards the ceiling.
      Also there is a proper way to put the cable back when you're done.
      It's all in the manual.

    I enjoyed this video a lot, wish more TH-camrs did comparison reviews like this more often. Sad to see that the amazon halo is the best non-DEXA option for tracking body fat, since amazon is shutting it down soon. Ironic that as this comparison is made, that happens. However, with amazon halo out of the picture, what would you recommend? Also, it would be nice to see a new video in the future just like this one, but more based off of consistency over time (if possible) in addition to accuracy. You may also want to add in a Garmin and Fitbit scale.

    I'm using the Withings. It shows me something between 11% and 14%. the values of course vary slightly from day to day - although I'm measuring always first thing in the morning - depending on my intake and my training the day before.
    What's not in the video: the scale also tells you the percentage of fat/muscle in your arms and legs (left and right) and the torso.
    I take it with a grain of salt of course. What's relevant is to monitor a trend over weeks and months. And for this the device is good enough.

    Did Tejas happen to scan with the Renpho in athlete mode? I find that it gives a really low reading in athlete mode but about 1% different to a DEXA when not in athlete mode for non athlete bodies (ie, more muscle). May explain why your reading on the Renpho was closer and Tejas was way off.

    I bought the omron scale here but I want something that imports the data directly to my apple health. I got really excited about Halo, hoewever just found out Amazon killed the project. The whithings scale looks pretty cool, but its actually too expensive. I think I will just stick to the omron scale and continue to import manually the data to apple health

    i didnt buy the samsung watch 5 because of the measurement at all and didnt know that it had it at that point.
    however some months ago i started working out and measuring my progress with it on a daily basis. and the muscle mass graph is actually going up matching the days i workout. last week i was on holiday and didnt workout at all so the graph didnt go up but down. Thus i forced myself to workout this weeks Monday, tues, wedns and thursday and guess what. with each day it goes further up again.
    you see for me its not about if these numbers are my exact muscle kg or exact body fat. i dont care about it.
    but i love seeing how my workouts show themselves not only visible but also in the apps graph. so i do believe the graph, but dont believe the numbers.

    I think Omron full body was the second one related to precision, you don't show its measures from you at the end, but that 19% is closest than the others except from the Halo.
    You should review a new and more top models from Omron like the karada scan hbf-375 or the hbf-511, and also some some Tanita and beurer stuff like the Tanita Bf-603, bf 601, or the tanita BC-545N, from beurer the Beurer BF 105 and the Beurer BF 1000 súper precision

    Can't compare two or four electrodes to anything as they don't measure complete body. I attempted to do similar testing and still have a Renpho eight electrode (not in the market yet), Lepulse eight electrode, Sportneer eight electrode and about to order/test a BodyPedia (Supposed to be almost as accurate as the InBody370) which I can lend/conribute to future testing. The Renpho does seem somewhat accurate. I did compare all mentioned, the same InBody that you used. Thank you for comparing all the items. I was considering buying them too.
