Sharper Image Smart

The app itself is great! No problems there. The problem comes from the actual scale. It does give the correct weight for you however it’s fat % and bone % isn’t as accurate. I’m thinking the percentages are based on a generated formula based on your weight instead of actually measuring it. This basically defeats the purpose for those trying to lose body fat. I’m gaining weight because of muscle gain, but this scale said the contrary. I confirmed that my increased weight was my fat loss and muscle gain on a professional scale. Don’t see why you spend money in creating this product if it’s not accurate in those calculations.

I got this scale for Christmas and was very excited to use it. However, I followed the instructions that came with it and right away there were problems. I can’t switch it from Kg to Lbs and the Bluetooth isn’t working so my scale can’t connect to my app. I read through the reviews and learned that there is a unit button on the back of the scale under a sticker. I peeled off the sticker and there it was . I push the button and nothing happened. The actual button is not lined up correctly to be able to toggle between kg and lbs, and I can’t take the back off of the scale as there battle no screws or any indications as to how to take the back off without damaging the scale. I am very disappointed and will be bringing this back and looking for something different.

For Unit Conversions ON THE SCALE: PRESS ON THE BLACK HOUSING 1” DOWN AND 1/2” LEFT of the FCC sticker while ON! The unit conversion button is misplaced (indent and “Unit” conversion meant to be under FCC sticker), yet you can still press it by pressing on the scale housing just under the bottom right of the FCC sticker once turned on. I figured this out after taking the whole housing assembly apart and as I was reassembling it accidentally pressed it twice and saw it perform the conversions back and forth. The fact that this many scales have this issue really speaks volumes to the Sharper Image QA/QC process on their product and the app for not including a digital toggle.

Directions says to change this setting in the App. Changing the setting in the App only changes in the App, not the scale. Almost gave up trying, but the I started looking closely under the scale. There is an FCC sticker on the back and mine was right behind the digital display. I felt some kind of engraving under it. Come to find out, it says “Unit” - giving this area a firm press while scale is active changes the units from kg to lbs. This was NOT in the instruction booklet. 😒 Hope this helps and saves someone else a bunch of time.

The scale was on kg and not lbs. I could get app to show pounds but not scale itself. On back of scale under black sticker is a spot that says unit. There is a black plastic button to push on to change it to lbs. I ended up having to take off the whole black cover because the black tab to push was not in correct spot. I was able to find the little button to change to lbs. I hope this helps someone
