Product details
Guaranteed to provide even higher accuracy and reproducibility compared to previous single-frequency measurements. Fluctuations are specifically minimized. A weak current is passed through the body twice in succession to determine the resistance. During the first frequency, the current flows around the cells, while during the second, it flows through the cells. For segmental measurement, an additional four electrodes are included, two for each hand, located on the extendable handle. The electrical resistance is measured a total of five times over different paths (from foot to foot, hand to hand, left hand to right foot, right hand to left foot, and left hand to left foot). This achieves 100 percent body coverage, providing higher accuracy, especially for athletes and individuals whose body composition deviates from the standard. With the measured resistances, the scale can then break down the segments. You can see the body fat percentage and muscle mass in kilograms separately for the right and left arms, the right and left legs, as well as the trunk. Imbalances between right and left or arm to leg can be detected and monitored.

Die teuerste Waage im Test lieferte dank des Handteils genauere Messungen als die Konkurrenz. Der Hersteller gibt die Skelettmuskelmasse nicht getrennt aus - und verwirrt deshalb mit diesem Wert. Eine Smartphone-App von Tanita gibt`s nicht, das Plastikgehäuse macht keinen robusten Eindruck.
Bei der Tanita BC 601 handelt es sich um eine Körperanalysewaage mit vielen Funktionen und Ausstattungsdetails. Sie punktet hier vor allem auch mit ihrem herausziehbaren Display, sodass die Bedienung im aufrechten Stand erfolgen kann. Die Leistung könnte bei 160 Euro jedoch noch etwas besser sein.
