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.

What's probably the most important is to pick one that consistently gives you the same reading when you first test it, and stick to that product through your fitness journey. The starting number itself doesnt matter, but the progression over time does.

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.

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.

Consider trying Tanita next time - it's FDA approved and has both professional and consumer models. Something like RD-545 with Multifrequency and hands electrodes (similar to Withings Body Scan, but people say Tanita is much more accurate). But people also say their iOS app was horrible (dunno maybe fixed already) compared to Withings, which is Apple-inspired.

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?

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%.

exactly. i started working out a couple of months ago and the graph in the app was going up almost consitently. just had a 1 week holiday and it went down during that time. now its going up again (worked out on mon, tues, wedn and thurs) i love how it shows me my progress. I dont believe in the number but i do believe in the graph!

​@@RacoonFighter its pretty accurate. And i didnt buy it for health at all but ended up using it all the time for it. the numbers of the body compostion isnt accurate JUST LIKE ALL OTHER TOOLS. the graph however is. thats what shows the progress. No need to know exact number even a pod cant tell.

I have the Lescale P1 (also called Lepulse 8). It gives me pretty consistent results, unlike some others I tested. Can't say anything about accuracy, probably not too far off. The scale is nice, the App is okay. Around $80.

How about comparing the Evolt 360 scanner against the Inbody scanner (high end) that gyms use to charge you extra and how they compare to these scanners or other 3d scanners. THAT would be great to compare for your next video.

It's worth noting that from August 2023, Amazon Halo will be discontinued and the app won't function! It's also US only which is unfortunate.

You didn't read the manual for the OMRON scale, the display is supposed to point downwards. Please check and try again.

I enjoyed this video a lot, wish more KZfaqrs 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.

The bod pod can fluctuate on numbers if you have more or less body hair. If you have more body hair the numbers are less accurate. ( lower body fat ) less hair will get a closer read on you body.

I just found your video, I am from Brazil, and I could do the DEXA for free every month there, but since I moved to Germany, I could not find a way of tracking my body fat anymore. 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 may be a little old fashion but, what ever happened to the simple 5 point body caliper test for cheap and easy but mostly accurate, and water displacement test as the gold standard for body fat measurement?
@AckerQ.

The bod pod would be the equivalent of the water displacement measurement, right? It measures your volume and weight I guess. Would be interesting to see the calipers measurement and how important it is who performs it.

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.

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.

Zozo fit suit is interesting to me. If only it does electrical impedance too, instead of over the phone scan. That would give better results. For how it gives measurements of body parts, that’s awesome because that allows for wholesome perspective. For example, an increase in muscle mass may translate in muscular arms or legs but smaller waist line (waist to hip ratio), etc. Taking measurements using measuring tape is time consuming and may not be accurate too but this ZOZO fit suit has potential for a wholesome usage, even for tailoring clothes.
