You didn't gain 3 pounds of skeletal muscle mass in 3 days.

You're not an infant elephant. Nobody is really questioning the overall accuracy of the scale. They're questioning the value of weighing yourself every 2-3 days, and drawing conclusions from what-is-normal daily fluctuation. It is a marathon, not a sprint. If you do the work (diet, exercise, water, sleep), you'll get the results.

While in a caloie deficit you will almost inevitably also lose muscle mass.

EDGEMAN • 06/26/25 12:31 PM ET
I never suggested your smart scale wasn't accurately measuring your weight

If I was making these, I would have them report 'years of life increased'

I don't believe the smart scale works the way you think it works...
JoesterVT • 06/26/25 11:34 AM ET
They claim 98% accuracy, so that's more than good enough for me.
EDGEMAN • 06/26/25 11:45 AM ET
I have one and here is my advice ...
vt90 • 06/26/25 12:12 PM ET

I spelled out exactly where their study was located on their website.
