it works, but takes effort to sync to your phone without a polar fitness watch as the intermediary,

Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2016

Verified Purchase

It's a scale, it weighs you. It's also Bluetooth so it sends your weight to your phone, if you manage to get it setup properly. I hear this is pretty easy to sync if you tether this scale to a polar fitness watch, but if you don't have a polar fitness watch to tether it too, well, you're in a for a treat and some hoops to jump through. After wasting plenty of time trying to figure out how to get this scale to sync without the use of a polar fitness watch, I went to the web to search for instructions. After a brief search on polars support site, I found what I was looking for, a way to sync to your phone without a polar fitness watch. It seems in order to do this, you have to first create an account the polar flow web site, then from there you tell it that you have a polar balance scale and enter your serial number for it. after that, you have to download the polar flow app to your phone and log in and let it sync with the polar flow website. once it syncs, it will bring down the polar balance scale to your flow app and THEN you will be able to sync your balance to your phone without the use of a fitness watch. Only caveat is that you have to open the flow app, then go to the 'balance" link in the menu and from there you hit the like icon of scale and it'll then say it's waiting for your scale to sync. you then step on the polar balance scale and it'll then sync to the flow app.

Another way to do it is if you have a Samsung phone and you use the s-health app. You can add the polar balance as an accessory and when you step on the scale, it will sync your weight to the s-health app. sometimes you have to have the app open and on the weight page and sometimes you don't. it's strange how it works. most of the time the polar balance will just sync immediately to my s-health app without me having to open it, but not always.

other than the hoops I had to jump through to get it to sync without a polar watch, it seems to work well enough at least. I took 1 star off because of the pain I went through trying to figure out how to sync without the watch, other than that, I like the scale. Would be nice if it did more than just weight and if it was wifi, but oh well, I got it during the black Friday sale so I can't complain about the lack of features.

Think of this as a Polar Balance Software unlock with a “free” scale

Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2018

Verified Purchase

The scale is technically unnecessary except that without it, you can’t access the balance feature of the Polar Flow website. Once I synced my first reading to my watch (M430) and then my watch to the app, all my previous manually entered weight entries were available in the newly unlocked “balance” section of the site.

Note on the scale - make sure the Polar Flow app is closed on your phone or else your watch will try to sync with that instead of the scale. Otherwise using it is straightforward. Your watch will tell you if it worked. And the scale will agree by reading “ok”.

Unexpectedly, the unlocked software corrected an issue I was having with the watch. The issue is that because of medication I take, my heart rate is higher than might be expected for someone of my age, etc. Therefore even on level 3 I was easily getting 150-300% of my daily activity goal. But since the Balance program looks at your weight goal as a calories in vs calories out problem, it adjusted the daily activity goal to be appropriate for me. Now I have to work to get to 100%, but it’s achievable. Exactly as it should be.

If your goal is weight loss, the program calculates the daily calorie deficit you need. It assumes you will cut, say, 60% of them from your diet and 40% from increasing your activity. If you don’t track your calories (it works with My Fitness Pal) it still works. Because if you are maintaining or gaining weight while meeting your activity goal, clearly you need to look at your food. And so on. This is good for someone like me who can’t count calories without exacerbating eating disorder issues.

The jury is out (at least according to me) as to whether this program is healthy for people with eating disorders like BED. But if you don’t have an ED and are trying to lose weight then this software is nice when paired with all the other features on the site. The scale is a scale.

The software unlock is what makes it valuable. Not the Bluetooth syncing.

Great scale with funky app issues

Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2017

Verified Purchase

The scale itself is quite nice. Forcing out the app not so much. Polar really needs to have videos on how to use their apps. Reading their FAQ didn't help much, I stumbled through the app until I figured out how to use it. Maybe I was just tired yet I taught myself to knit from a book, so I think it's their writing, not my comprehension.

That said, the device is quite nice. It measures to tenths. I ordered the black scale. It looks attractive.

The Polar Flow app is one reason I purchased the scale based on some reviews I read as it will provide feedback on what to change to get to my goal. Each of us is an experiment of one. I may need to eat fewer or more calories to get to my goal weight. I want to either reduce or get rid of my hypertension medication and weight is one factor in hypertension. Higher weight tends to come with hypertension if one is susceptible.

That said, I use a polar heart rate monitor. Great device. The downside is that I can use the Polar Beat app which would dump my running and exercise data into the Polar Flow app which would give feedback on changes to make. But, I've been using MapMyRun for years (like 5 years) and I can't use both the MapMyRun app and Polar Beat app to track HR during a run - I tried it and MapMyRun dropped HR tracking and Polar Beat didn't have it either. 😐

So basically, I'm using the scale as a Bluetooth scale at this point as I'm not willing to use the PolarBeat app. The Polar Flow app is nice for the little I use it. It will dump the data into MyFitnessPal (a part of the UnderArmour MyFitnessPal/MapMyRun/connected fitness environment). I'm just not willing to give up my UA connected apps.

I would buy the scale again. It is still less expensive than the FitBit Aria. It is sleek in design.

Useless for get fit or athletes, great for astrophysisists weighing black holes

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 22, 2018

Verified Purchase

It's only very rarely that I write a negative review, let alone a one star review, but this time I will make an exception. I write this after owning the scales for 5 days and having tried various comparisons, different floor surfaces and carefully checking for level. Essentially, I gave them a proper go before resorting to a refund.

The slight snag with this product is that it fails at its primary purpose, which is to weigh you. I could synchonise them to my Polar M400 without any issue, but whats the point when the weight measured is meaningless.

For comparison in measured weights, I used a half decent set of Salter scales, which cost about the same and are at most 0.2kg out. I know this because we weigh our suitcases on them prior to flying and we've never gone over our luggage allowance!

So, on to the nitty gritty.

I weighed myself. Polar Balance showed 108.2kg. My Salters showed 106.1kg. I then held a 2 litre bottle of diet coke in each hand and stepped back onto the Polar scales a few minutes later. They showed, again, 108.2kg. I left it 5 minutes and tried the same again with the coke bottles, now they showed 106.5kg!

The Salters repeatedly showed 110.5kg with the coke bottles, slightly over what you'd expect, but not by much. My correct weight is 106.0 to 106.3kg depending on the scales.

So essentially, not only did the Polar scales completely fail to register the 4kg I was holding, it also decided I was also 2kg lighter than I had been just a few minutes before.

For the type of people who buy these scales, either those looking to lose weight or athletes trying to hit target weights for competition, they are useless.

So, I was left wondering who would be able to make use of scales which register 6kg or so out within the space of a few minutes. The answer is of course, astrophysicists. I'm fairly sure that being 6kg or so out on measuring the mass of a black hole wouldn't really matter, so Polar should ideally focus there marketing efforts towards the scientific community instead.

Great scale

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 1, 2019

So easy to use and integrates perfectly with all our Polar gear. I've got another Salter scale right next to this one and I've found that it's consistently a 200g difference between the two (Polar weighs 200g lighter). I'm not sure which is correct, but the fact that there's so much consistency means you're tracking your progress correctly regardless.

Great motivational tool. Apart from setting it up, great smart scale with no issues!

Unlike most other BT devices, this doesn't pair with phone/watch -instead, log into to Polar Flow app and register device. Once registered, you open the app on it phone and allow BT connection... Weigh yourself and the reading appears in the app in seconds. Pity it's not WiFi enabled but can't have everything!

Accurate. Damn them!!!

I do like the fact that I can line up and sync' all my Polar products from the scales, no more fiddling around and correcting the weight on HRM/cycle computer. Annoying that Polar/Apple still haven't come to an agreement to allow each other to sync'.
If anyone knows how to, love to hear it.
