Huawei Scale 3 Pro smart scale: the right and useful gadget for your family

It's good when different things come to your aid at the right time. For example, while I was "lying on the stove", nothing

nothing interesting happened. But it was worth taking care of yourself - a gadget called Huawei Scale 3 Pro immediately flew to the review.

In short, they are scales.But not simple, but really smart. They can measure not only your weight - too trivial for Huawei, but also display key indicators of your body: fat mass, visceral fat, muscle mass, relative skeletal muscle index, and so on. In addition, in Huawei's proprietary Health app, you can get data on the composite composition of the body: water, proteins, fat and minerals in bone tissue.

Also in the program it is easy to read recommendations for reducing the amount of body fat, increasing muscle mass and tips for a healthy lifestyle.

By the way, the scales themselves are not badly sewn.The surface of the device is made of tempered glass, and to increase the conductivity it is covered with a film with indium-tin oxide electrodes. The gadget withstands high loads not only in temperature, but also in falls from a small height, shock, bending and stretching. Huawei scales were even tested in a salt chamber (hopefully without a person inside).

So, Scale 3 Pro is not just some kind of scale, but a fairly durable device with the ability to measure many parameters. In the end, it can act as a beautiful accessory.

But the price is appropriate - in the region of 6,000 rubles in Russia.

Design

The device is really well made and quite nice. The main feature is thick tempered glass with the effect of color change at different angles of light falling on the surface.

Without a light source, the glass shimmers with shadesblue and green. But they are airy, and the transitions are as smooth as possible. As soon as a light source appears, the glass begins to “play” with overflows of light pink shades.

Old smartphones you can still buy

Remember the times when, in addition to Android and iOS, there wereother operating systems for smartphones? For better or worse, they offered an alternative. And you can still choose it, having received a new device in a box ...

This solution looks quite appropriate for this kind of gadget. Yes, and the interior fits well, great for both light and dark furniture. The bathroom is perfect.

In the center is a small decorativeplastic insert. The upper part is matte, the sides are chrome-plated. It does not bear any technical load. Just in this way they put the logo on the body of the scales.

The handle with two electrodes is silver (plastic), and the contacts (metal) are chrome-plated.

The lower part is completely made of white plastic. The material looks and feels durable.

In general, it gives the impression of a light and airy gadget. But in fact, it weighs as much as 2.5 kg!

Elements

The dimensions of the scales are quite impressive - 320x320 mm and a height of about 30 mm. The thickness of the glass is approximately 6 mm.

In the upper part of the front panel in the recessthe handle is partially hidden (length - 200 mm). It has magnets that allow the handle to attach smoothly to the surface of the scale. However, the handle is mainly held by a cord connected to the center of the “magic wand” and the gadget: the cord is constantly in a taut position so that when pulling the handle, little effort is required. The principle is like a roulette wheel.

The rope is made of dense matter.We usually see something similar in the power cables of irons. And here I have a question, how durable is the braid of the cord, because when pulled and tightened, it slips along a special smooth gear.

The length of the cord is about 1550 mm. If it is supposed to extend to a level just above the waist, then the length of the cord is enough for a person of any height.

On the bottom of the scales there are four legs with a rubberized base. The legs themselves have a slight natural backlash so that the device can stand evenly and steadily on the surface.

The scale is powered by three AA batteries.There is a data reset button. It is difficult to say how long the batteries last, but the gadget has been working without problems for several months. In theory, it should be enough for a year with one measurement per day.

Screen

It uses a LED display with dimensionsapproximately 75x45 mm. Since there is a thick frosted glass in front of the matrix, the numbers and icons are displayed a little blurry, but quite comfortable for the eyes.

The backlight is white, which is a little strange: the scales are almost white and the markings are white. True, the Wi-Fi indicator glows red when paired with the phone.

On the other hand, everything is read without problems both in the dark and in bright light.

measurements

In order to start measuring your data, as well as acquaintances, relatives or friends, you need to install the Huawei Health program. It is advisable to do this from the AppGallery.

After installation, add the scales to the program: you need to stand on the gadget - and a pairing button will appear on the smartphone screen.

Next, enter your parameters, and the device is ready for use.

Separately, I note that you can measure weight without any programs - just stand on the scales.

To get more information about your body, you need to stand on the scale, pull the handle to a level just above the waist and straighten your arms without touching the body.

In a couple of seconds, the scales will determine the weight, then -body mass index and heart rate for another 10 seconds. I emphasize that these data are displayed on the screen of the scales, other details can be obtained in the smartphone in the Health program.

To find out everything about your body, you need to click on the "Start" button and stand on the scales, follow the steps that were described above.

After 10 seconds, a huge “sheet” of graphs and various numbers will appear on the smartphone screen.

To collect information, the balance uses 8 electrodes.When you step on a standard scale, four electrodes measure lower body data, and then algorithms calculate fat percentage, muscle mass, and bone mass data for the entire body. And with the Scale 3 Pro, eight electrodes measure upper and lower body data for more accurate readings.

Another interesting note from the official site:

“The scales determine the percentage of fat and water content inbody using bioimpedance analysis. Standard smart scales measure muscle mass and fat percentage using low frequencies. This method of measurement does not always provide accurate data. With the Scale 3 Pro, measurements are made using high and low frequencies, resulting in greater accuracy.”

What do we get as a result:

• The overall picture with weight and other parameters collected in a table.

• 
• 
• 

• Body mass index. This is the international postcode that is usedto assess the proportion of fat and the general condition of a person. In a healthy person, the index should be from 18.5 to 25. For this item, there is a recommendation: follow a diet and exercise regularly.

• Fat Percentage. Here you get data on the relative amount of body fat. For a healthy person, this is 10-20%. The program shows the percentage of fat for the arms, legs and torso in kilograms.

Advertising posters of the 50s: about computers and not only!

New batch of promotional posters. Let's see how computers and tabulators were sold in the 50s!

• Skeletal muscle mass. Volume and mass affect physical strength. Normally, it should be in the range of 25.9 - 35 kg. For example, my wife has almost 25 kg, and I have almost 34 kg.

• Visceral fat. This is the fat that surrounds the internal organs.Excess VZH can lead to diseases of the cardiovascular system. On the other hand, it is necessary to support and protect internal organs. Optimally up to 4.9 units. I tried to measure the VL of my friends, but all of them were above the norm. Moreover, some acquaintances outwardly were quite fit.

• Skeletal muscles of the limbs. Women should have more than 7 kg / m2, and men more than 6 kg / m2. I have it almost on the “Healthy / High” border, and my wife’s is a little short of the norm.

• Waist/hip index. This is the ratio of waist circumference to hip circumference.For men, at least 0.9, for women - 0.85. Otherwise, there is a risk of developing central obesity. Oddly enough, my wife and I have it almost normal, although I weigh much more than my wife.

• Body type. Here, smart scales determine the physique in 9 categories. In general, Huawei Scale 3 Pro consider me and my wife not the most slender ????

• body shape. My wife has a banana, and I have an apple. Well, it's not exactly like that, but I won't argue with the program.

• basal metabolism. The rate at which the body converts ingested food into energy. Everything is fine here.

• Water in the body. Here already goes the percentage of water from the total body weight. And we have complete order with water.

• Bone mineralization. Bones are composed of mineral salts, organic matter and bone cells. In a healthy person, MK should be from 2.54 to 3.05. I have a slight excess, and my wife is on the verge of “deficiency / norm”.

• Protein in the body. Proteins are part of the cells and tissues of the body. Surprisingly, both my wife and I have a drawback.

• Lean mass. This is the body weight of a person without taking into account the mass of fat. I have the norm, and my wife has a flaw.

• biological age my wife was defined as 33 years old, and mine was 41. The Health program threw off a little for my wife, but added to me.

• Pulse. Everything is clear here. Although the measurements are too fast, I'm not entirely sure that in 5 seconds you can adequately calculate the heart rate between "beats".

Conclusion

Smart scales at home are a useful thing.You can learn a lot of interesting things about your body, even if you feel healthy, strong and lean. Another question is what to do with this data. Probably, in case of deviations, pay attention to specific data. But doing it fanatically is definitely not worth it.

Huawei Scale 3 Pro is interesting for those whotakes care of your health. Just like that, “for sporting interest”, I would not buy such a device, although if you liked the look, then why not.

Let me remind you that the gadget can be bought for about 6,000 rubles. The average price of conventional floor scales is about 1,500 rubles.
