1.0 out of 5 stars Not accurate or precise, September 19, 2005

By	norris14 (Westfield, IN) - See all my reviews

DISCLAIMER: I am not obese, overweight, or tied emotionally to my weight in any way. I am an athlete, and knowing my exact weight is just something I like to know. I'm not out looking for a scale that tells me what I want to hear. I simply want one that is ACCURATE and PRECISE.

I bought this scale hoping to put get rid of our old non-digital dial scale that took squinting just to see the little lines.

I did a lot of research, and the Tanita brand seemed to have the best scales, although a lot of their line has been devoted to body fat scales, which are a crock. I thought I'd give this HD337 a try since it was one of the only Tanita scales available at a local store.

First thing I noticed when I weighed myself was it read a good 3-4 pounds heavier than my old scale. Now, I'm not naive, and I understood that our old scale could've been reading low, and in reality, I was heavier than I thought. However, a couple more tests confirmed that the HD337 was the one that was off.

When you buy a scale, you want to know that it's giving an accurate reading, meaning you weight what it says. Even more important when it comes to digital scales, you want one that is precise, meaning when you do repeat tests, the scale gives the same exact weight each time. The precision of this scale is NOT good. I had variances of over 1 pound when I weighed myself more than one time consecutively. Another test I like to perform when seeing if a scale works well is the water test. I drink a large glass of water, just short of 16 ounces, which is 1 lb. My weight after drinking the water should logically be 1 lb higher. Well, this scale didn't respond well to this test. It increased over 2 pounds. Then, I tried to just holding the glass of water. The weight it gave me before holding the glass, and after were the same. I couldn't figure this out, since I was obviously 1 lb heavier holding the water. (This is actually a test that I used on 2 other scales at a later time, and is one I would recommend others to try when testing their scales). I did the same test on my old dial scale, and it read a conclusively higher weight with me holding the water, compared to not holding it, like it obviously should.

Now, for the accuracy, I had only my wife's recent doctor visit to use as a comparison. This isn't a scientific test, as there are a lot of factors that determine what you weigh at any one time, but I had her wear the same type clothes she was wearing at the doctors office, no shoes, and had her weigh herself. Yep, it was approximately 3-4 pounds higher. Strike 1. That wasn't enough for me, so I went out and bought 2 more scales. The first was a Health-O-Meter "Doctor's Scale...Weight Tracking Scale." When I stepped onto it for the first time, it gave me a number consistent with the old dial scale, and 3-4 less than the Tanita. Strike 2. The other scale I bought was the Weight Watchers WW30R. I stepped onto it, and sure enough, it gave a number consistent with the dial scale and the Health-O-Meter. Strike 3.

The Tanita HD337 is neither accurate or precise.


As far as the other 2, I performed the water test on the Health-O-Meter, and it actually read 1 lb heavier when I was holding the water. Yeah! It also read the same weight in a number of consecutive tests. I would highly recommend this scale. I couldn't find any specific model number, but it's white and has 4 buttons on the bottom for tracking 4 separate people. I bought it at Walmart for $29.88.

On the other hand, the Weight Watchers scale did not do well on the water test. Even holding the water, it read the same weight as before I held the water. That's not right. It's going back to the store.
