In general, I also generously gave myself a wholea bunch of similar ideas for 2022. As is usually the case, most of the New Year's plan will remain just formal holiday promises. But I still decided to approach the issue of sports and figure responsibly: I started going to squash a couple of times a week, I’m thinking about HUAWEI smart watches (one of the few with a hundred types of training, including this particular sport) and took myself “smart” HUAWEI Scale 3 Pro to replace simple "stupid" scales that were at home. Now I understand the state of the body much better and can observe the changes in detail.
And where is the mind in the scales?
Ordinary home scales work like in a grocery scale:how many kilograms you put on them - this number will be shown. It would seem that they perform their task perfectly, but not everything is so simple. The situation can be compared with a pack of pasta and a can of stew: in the first case, you really need to know only the weight of the product, in the second case, with an honest weight, you can be disappointed because of a very small amount of meat and a bunch of cheap fat. Our body, as it happens, is very heterogeneous, so knowing the total weight is also not enough.
Technology was the solutionbioimpendan analysis: a very weak (you won’t even notice it) electric current passes through the body of the person being measured and, by estimating the difference in resistance, is able to distinguish between bone mass, muscles and fatty tissues. The technology allows you to monitor real body indicators, for example, when you lost a decent amount of light fat and gained some heavy muscle mass during training. In such a situation, conventional scales would show “before” and “after” the same number of kilograms. As if nothing has changed! And smart ones will give a real idea of everything that happened in the body.
Why is HUAWEI Scale 3 Pro better than others?
For a long time, sensors in smart scales have been built-into the surface and conduct current through the feet. At a basic level, this worked well (what the heck, what a breakthrough compared to conventional models), but over time, engineers wondered: can measurements be made more accurate? The logical solution seemed to be adding sensors for the upper body as well. So there were models with a handle retractable from the body and four additional electrodes for hands. A similar design is now used only in the most expensive, most accurate and informative models of smart scales.
HUAWEI Scale 3 Pro cost 6000 rubles.At first glance, the price bites, but the impression depends on what to compare with. For example, they ask for the same amount for premium models of "regular" smart scales with four sensors - for example, Bork. Specialized brands for the equivalent of Scale 3 Pro can easily ask for two or three times more money. At the same time, they look, to put it mildly, specific. At the same time, HUAWEI's design is designed with adequate attention to product aesthetics. The case is minimalistic, under light glass (so that dust on the surface is not noticeable), the color depends on the lighting and viewing angle. The color of the scales can vary from almost white to deep blue and (suddenly!) Golden hues that were completely invisible before. Reminds me of the "Aurora" color in some smartphones.
How to connect, what to measure
Scale 3 Pro works with HUAWEI Health Appon any smartphone. You can download it on the iPhone, you can on any Android, or their proprietary Harmony OS. If there are several users, one application will be the main one (it can connect via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and more settings), for the rest of the family, access must be granted manually, while the scale will transfer data to their smartphones only via Bluetooth.
For a quick measurement (when you just need to knowweight in kilograms) just stand on the scale and wait a few seconds. Then the information will be displayed on the display, and at the same time will be uploaded to HUAWEI Health. If you pull out the pen, hold it firmly and stand a little longer, the application will display detailed data on the state of the body: body mass index, fat percentage, bone and muscle mass, mineralization, water content, pulse and other indicators. What data is measured by Scale 3 Pro and in what form it is shown in HUAWEI Health - see the screenshots below.

In general, if there is a desire intentlykeep track of weight and compare all kinds of indicators in dynamics - HUAWEI Scale 3 Pro will be a good choice. They look elegant, they are acceptable for models with eight sensors, they are equipped with all the necessary smart functions. For example, in addition to all important measurements, the scales support multi-user mode, guest profiles, different methods of two data transfer channels, synchronization of measurements between all devices with a HUAWEI account, and there are explanations for all measured indicators. With such a gadget, the only task is to work on improving your performance. But in this we are no helpers, how firm you made promises to yourself for the New Year, you will get such results by 2023.
