I'm thinking of buying a JC Scale. Anyone bought one? How do you like??

I bought one and I like it. It's not perfect but does give me an idea of whether the issue of the moment is water retention or whatever.

I have one and like it as well. However, it's not instantaneously accurate like you would wish it to be. The instructions say that it is most accurate when the readings are taken in the afternoon, after you are fully rehydrated. It also says that you should take an average over a month rather than paying attention to any one number. The fat percentage is calculated as the inverse of the water percentage, so if you're dehydrated, you'll appear to be more fat. It tells you the % of fat and % of water... NOT the % muscle mass, which is truly the interesting one.

I do know that when I am dehydrated after a massage or particularly challenging workouts, the hydration number is lower. And I have seen a reduction in my fat % over time.

If you are the type to freak out over any given reading, don't bother. You'll drive yourself crazy watching the numbers spin for no apparent reason. They are even more difficult to control than your weight. On the other hand, if you can watch the numbers with mild interest to get a general feeling about your general progress, then great. I have been happy with my purchase and I've had it for a couple years now.

I have had mine for over a year now and i love it. It is very accurate but i have noticed in the last few weeks it has wavered back and forth on my weight a bit. It is usually with jc weigh in day but for the last couple of weeks it has not exactly matched the weigh in scales at jc center. But for the most part I really like mine.

Thanks for your input. I bought one and we'll see.

I bought my first one eight years ago, when I first started maintenance.

I bought my second one a couple years later, when they came out with an upgraded model.

And I bought one last year, when the body fat % and water % features were added.

Obviously, I have really like their scales! I have always found them to be very accurate.
