Très pratique pour des mesures surtout avec son application

What a great product - to not only smart track my progress with the scales and app, I can now easily record my individual body measurements with ease - no more writing it down, it just loads right to the app and then you’ve got the record (good or bad!)Wish I’d invested in this sooner, but my health journey is still ongoing, so this will be super useful.Very easy to set up - download the app and you’re on your way to a better you.Also comes in a cute portable little case.

I originally got this for my wife (a lady of a certain age) who is quite handy with a sewing machine but, for the past couple of years, has been struggling taking and reading measurements with a conventional tape measure. In this respect it has been extremely successful as this ‘Smart Body Tape measure’ from Slimpal is so much easier for her to use and read. The measurements are 100% accurate and the display is clear with no ambiguity, also it is easy to switch between inches and centimetres. So, she is really happy with it and I’ve earned a few brownie points.However, I downloaded the app and started monitoring my own body dimensions. The app stores measurements directly from the tape measure and uses the data to calculate and store lots of stuff such as fat percentage, proportional ratios, BMI, body type, target weight, progress, fitness etc. It presents guides and advice based on your personal information and requirements, it also links to my Fitbit (and Google Fit) which is great and, you can set up multiple profiles so others can use the same unit.Measuring yourself is a piece of cake, just wrap the tape round you, push the plastic end tab of the tape into the aperture on the tape body until it clicks, hold close to your tummy or limb or whatever, press the retract (R) button to take up the slack and you have an accurate reading. Then press the unlock button to release the end of the tape, Simples! Needless to state that I have now become quite obsessed with using it to help monitor and manage my own fitness plan.Now this presents a small issue since my wife now keeps complaining that I have taken “her” tape measure from her sewing box. So, I have now had to order another one so that we can each have exclusive use of our own personal tape measure.

Almost nothing to complain about with this. The measurements seem to be accurate given the small gap where the end of the tape measure locks back into the body of the device. Tension could be improved by a lot though. I usually have to help pull the tape back toward the body to get the tension correct. Reports on the app take about 1 - 1.5 seconds sometimes, not too bad, but if that were faster it would be nice. Otherwise, this product is very easy to use, the case is nice to keep it in for protection as it bounces around in my bag with other gear. I like it and would buy it again in any case.

This makes taking body measurements so much easier, and it’s also very accurate. The app gives instructions on how to measure each body part, and once you’ve measured all of these it gives you information on the general health of your body, including your estimated body fat. It will become a regular feature of my goal setting.
