Weight management requires warmth and precision. Experience with Ficom S7 smart body fat scale

IT168 Review As a "heavy user of body fat scales" who has drastically lost weight from 200 pounds to 130 pounds, changed all his wardrobe and clothes, and has to weigh himself every morning, I still have a lot of experience with this small scale. of. Although the model I originally used was purchased from Japan, it accompanied me through the weight loss process, but it still had many shortcomings. Therefore, in the stage of weight maintenance (showing off results), I chose to switch from shotgun to smart phone! Okay, not much nonsense, Let us talk about this one - Ficom S7 smart body fat scale.

1. Why change? (Talk about the shortcomings of old products)

In terms of basic functions, the traditional body fat scale is not much different from the current smart upstarts. . Through electrode measurement, it tells you body fat rate, basal metabolic rate, muscle rate, etc., but the results are rather stupid. The results jump one by one on the small screen, and you may miss something if you are not paying attention. Data statistics and record analysis are even more tiring: with the test results table in your left hand and the small pen in your right hand, you have to look at the data accurately and quickly memorize it, let alone trend analysis. Compared with the current smart APP ratings, displays, and trend comparisons, it is really stuck in the Stone Age.

There is also the icy autumn and winter, and the cold touch points. Every morning when I wake up early, I feel so cold that I feel cold. Battery replacement is also a minefield. As a device that is placed on the floor all year round, the battery compartment is just a conventional design and can be opened by pressing the button. The battery may fall off or be opened by a naughty child.

So, the process of liking the new and hating the old is started, and place an order with your sights on Fijim S7. There are three reasons why it is favored among many smart upstarts. First, it is specially equipped with 8 electrodes. The body data measurement results will be more accurate. It also provides additional local data, which is awesome! The second is that the electrodes can be heated! It is really heart-warming. ;The third is the charging design. It can be used for a year at a time. Goodbye to bad contacts and naughty children swallowing batteries.

2. Unboxing and appearance

The S7 itself follows a minimalist approach, but I was still a little surprised when I got the box. There is only the S7 LOGO on the pure white carton, and the sentence "Confidant, understand you" is really heartwarming. It means you understand the ultimate meaning of body fat scale. In addition, the entire box is quite solid in hand, and the contents seem to be quite substantial.

After opening the box lid, the S7 still holds the Pipa half-covered face, and the copy on the semi-transparent paper further strengthens its identity as a body-sculpting bestie and a new daily necessity.

Finally I saw the main body. The first layer is the main unit and the stick. The other charging cables, the connecting cables for the stick, the manual, and the K-code card are all hidden under the main unit. There is no unnecessary design on the packaging and it is quite practical.

Then let’s take a look at the appearance and details. The whole phone of Phicomm S7 is very eye-catching. The glass panel is white and transparent, and the layout of the four electrodes is also extremely harmonious. In addition, there is only the Phicomm LOGO at the bottom. The display is hidden under the panel, and it is completely hidden when the screen is turned off. Invisible.

As a body fat scale that is not cheap, the Ficom S7 is quite generous in terms of materials and workmanship. Needless to say, the glass panel, the drawing process on the sides of the fuselage and the electrode contact pads are also quite tonal, and the independent hand stick is also not sloppy, and no burrs or burrs on the plastic parts were found at all. In addition, the buttons and interfaces of the S7 are all located on the upper part. From left to right are the stick interface (3.5mm wiring), reset (pairing) button and charging port.

A few beautiful pictures before the formal experience:

3. On-board experience

If you want to say that the smart scale is a little troublesome, it has to be followed. The mobile phone is paired with the Internet. (Do you think it’s troublesome? Did you forget to squat on the ground and encode the body data of the five people in your family into the old scale?) On the outer box, bottom of the fuselage, and manual of the S7, you can scan the code to download the APP. path. Directly through the manual, there are also binding process prompts when opening the APP. The overall experience is quite convenient: connect your phone to WIFI and open "Fixit Health", then press and hold the RESET button for 5 seconds. The two indicator circles will flash and the familiar WIFI symbol will light up. You can click to bind the device through the APP.

Simply enter the WIFI password and everything is done.

Then, you only need to connect the host and the stick, enter your basic body data (age, height, gender, etc.) on the APP to get on the scale and start the test. The default is the owner's identity, which can be switched by clicking on the upper right corner (adding members is also here).

Different from the original body fat scale, the S7 uses an 8-electrode design, which can additionally measure the fat mass and muscle rate of each part of the body. In terms of actual experience, holding an extra hand stick in your hand really has a psychological implication that "it will be more accurate". In addition, more data needs to be measured, so it takes a relatively long time. (Of course, what fascinates me the most about the S7 is the 8 electrodes, which are quite professional and I haven’t seen anyone else in the field of smart scales).

After the test, it took 17 seconds and 58 seconds to get on the scale and jump to the data. The data obtained will include the fat rate and muscle mass of the left hand, right hand, left leg, right leg and other parts of the body. Of course, conventional weight, BMI, physical age, body fat, body shape, muscle, bone mass, water content, internal organ level, etc. can be clearly seen on the first screen of data details. The interface for presenting overall body data is quite intuitive and concise, and the color-coded levels also add the necessary sense of pressure.

For each different data, click to enter and there will be detailed reports, including standard intervals, data introduction, and dietary and exercise suggestions based on your situation. For veterans like me, there is no need to read it. , but this is still very important if you are just starting out on your weight management journey. In addition, historical data and data trends are also the most useful functions. You no longer need to use a notebook to calculate...

Go back to the main interface, where the most recent measured data and recent curves are displayed. , weight and body fat trends. You can directly click on the scale here every day and then measure, or you can directly get on the scale and "claim" the data that pops up on the homepage of the App. You can also set goals (body fat, weight) for your own weight management on the "Me" page, and plan for miracles!

Focus on special functions: Let's start with the favorite "heating" "function."

The S7 is equipped with a mirco USB interface, and it is said that it can be used for a year on a single charge. But in addition, it has another use. When the ground is freezing and the floor is cold, the metal electrode can only be described as "ice". Phicomm S7 is really warm and considerate. Just plug in the power and turn on the smart heating function in the APP-Device-S7, and your little feet will no longer have to "skate"...

Actual experience If you use it as a foot warmer, it will definitely not work, but it is still quite effective to relieve the touch of your feet when weighing. Although it is a bit troublesome to connect the power supply, I never turned off this function.
