Tanita BC1000 Body Composition Scale with ANT + Wireless Data Transmission

Works perfectly. Very good .

I bought these scales to assist me in my training, weight control and general health assistance so whilst I thought they were rather expensive, I thought they would be worthwhile, particularly if they are used in conjunction with Garmin products which are excellent. These scales are not excellent though, the instructions talk about a beep and green light indicator, but I would be delighted if mines would simply switch on. There is no switch so if you cannot get a response from them there is no way to re-set them or manually switch them on. To make matters worse, I have transported mines to a location with no local support, so I am left with this useless product for 6 months until I can get them back to the UK to return them and get my money back. They are also a rip off because you really need the wireless tabletop display at a further £80. I am waiting on further feedback from the manufacturer, but they did not correctly answer my initial question, so I do not expect them to answer my latest e-mail. In short - do not waste your money on this garbage.

Works well with the garmin forerunner 210. Seems to be fairly reliable thought now and again I do get an anomalous result even when taking readings as close to the same time of day. Great for monitoring progress though.

Purchased this as I wanted more data for weight, body mass etc., and found that this was compatible with my Garmin 310xt - good job as there is no readable display with this unit so it is useless on its own. The separate display unit is nearly a hundred pounds! In use I found it hard to setup. Had to call support for advice but after some months here are some tips: 1, reset your garmin to 00:00:00 after exercise before using the Tanita. 2, press power a couple of times to wake up the Tanita 3, I tend to put a foot lightly on the Tanita to help it wake up! 4, wait for the green light indicating pairing then step on! For Mac users I recommend software called rubiTrack which will import the Garmin and Tanita data.

Scale is fine, I have had major compatibility issues (tried dongle, iPhone, garmin) . It always sort of works but it is too damn complicated to link up. Software not included, and downloaded version is hard to use and buggy

I bought this to hook up with my Garmin 610 watch - it took me a while to find out via internet searching that you pair the two together by pressing the light button (top left) on the 610 once and waiting a few seconds. Apart from the lack of instructions it does exactly what it says on the tin. It allows me to view weight and bf on my 610, when I upload my data to garmin connect the other 9 indicators measured by the scales goes with it for review online. Ignore the reviews based on requiring a separate viewing display @ £100+. Yes if you do not have another device such as a Garmin (or I believe it will also work with iphones & ipads etc) you will need one, but this is made pretty clear in the product description, if you’re silly enough to buy something that costs nearly £200 without even looking at what you’re actually buying then that’s your own fault!

Tanita is claiming that the scale is very accurate and that is the reason it is so expensive. However, it is not accurate at all. In my experience of using Tanita, I was given two different bc 1000 so i measured my weight and the difference between them is 1 kilogram. Plus the scale has very random measurements e.g. i had body fat from 5% to 22% metabolic age from 18% to 42% years old and I am the sole user. The reason I have two Tanitas is due to the fact that I initially returned the first one and in 24 hours amazon sent me the second one, allowing me the opportunity to compare them. If you buy the scale for 150 pounds you need another 95 pounds, if you are lucky to buy the garmin watch FR 60 about 70 pounds and the garmin ANT stick about 25 pounds so you will be able to see the false result in garmin connect simply because the scale has no display . One star is two much but there was no zero star option

The product is exact, I love it. It comes with the Healthy Edge software, where all the confusions starts. 1. BC1000 is sending data to your sport device (310XT, 910XT) after measurement 2. Healthy Edge is receiving data from the BC1000 within the plugged but disabled ANT agent after another measurement. 3. When enabling the ANT agent and sending the measurement to Garmin Connnect, this transfer is recorded in Healthy Egde as well, as separate measurement. 4. Healthy Edge is then sending all measurements to your defined Tanita account. Healthy Edge is a stupid software, which does not allow you to define the decimal separator, like for example Excel does. It will only work, if your decimal separator is dot. If using comma, it won't start up...

Rien de fourni pour pouvoir lire les donnés ou même les envoyer à son PC. Pour pouvoir faire fonctionner la Balance correctement, il va falloir payer cher, très cher ;) ou renvoyer à Amazon. Vous verrez qu'avec Tanita, se peser ça vaut de l'or !!

Je l'utilise avec un compteur Garmin Edge 510. Utilisation de la balance très simple: on l'active via le compteur, et on suit ce qu'il s'affiche depuis le compteur. La balance donne également des indications avec la diode verte/rouge et un bip qui indiquent le moment où elle prend les mesures et quand elle a terminé. Avec ce compteur Garmin, reste ensuite à synchroniser sur le site Garmin Connect pour voir toutes les mesures et garder un historique. Avec les 9 valeurs qu'elle donne, elle évalue la condition physique, le taux de graisse et la masse musculaire, entre autres, ce qui est m'est utile dans le cadre de mes entrainements préparatoires pour des courses cyclistes.

Fonctionne très bien avec la montre Garmin 910xt, sauf que l'on n'a pas accès à l'historique des mesures et que seulement 3 données sont affichées à l'écran: poids, % masse graisseuse, % hydratation. Pour voir toutes les mesures, il faut transférer les données via son Pc sur garmin connect. Le seul défaut: aucun afficheur minimaliste pour faire une simple pesée mais bon ceci est bien précisé par amazon. Du coup sans le boîtier dc1000, la balance ne peut pas servir à toute la famille de façon aisée. Tanita propose une application pour windows permettant de faire des pesées avec l'aide d'une clé USB ANT+ mais bon ce n.est pas pratique du tout. Pour la pesée, Tanita conseille de le faire en début de soirée à jeun juste avant le repas du soir pour avoir des valeurs cohérentes car le matin juste au levée, l'eau dans le corps n'est pas repartie uniformément et cela augmente la résistance au passage du courant électrique. Donc moi je me pèse le soir en rentrant du travail.

Serais trés interressant de savoir ce qui fonctionne avec la balance Tanita BC-1000 BK pour le suivi avec pc ?????

Produit refurbished annoncé à la vente La balance est certes en bon état mais il manquait le tapis indiqué sur l'emballage, les piles et la notice d'emploi.il a fallu galerer sur internet pour la récupérer. Car sans notice IMPOSSIBLE de faire fonctionner. Contacté par téléphone j'attends toujours réparation d'amazon
