Yes, I entered 5'8" because that's about what I am without shoes. I could lie and stretch it to 5' 10" and no one would know, but I don't.

I was crunching body fat calculators and i guess it’s not really off. I am legit 5’10" in my socks (The Army measures me at least twice a year). Sometimes I get 5’ 10.5”. I guess i never realized what a difference 2” inch make when it comes to height.

I added the “when it comes to height” to lessen the “twss” comments, but fail guy will still say it. As will others. I have a guess who the first one will be

Fantastic work! Curious how tall are you? All the numbers don’t seem to add up for the body fat imo. I’d guess like 17-18% off the other numbers. Unless you’re as short as joe and have kept that secret all these years

Oh yeah, and I told Joe a long time ago I felt comfortable joking about his height because I'm not much taller.

And I'm not sure how accurate all those numbers are, except for my BMI. Those are from my scale. I don't think all of my watch numbers are 100% accurate, but I think they're closer. And I know they are more consistent.

Also, i have an awesome aunt and after helping her move closer to me (and really close to one of her daughters) the watch might be coming a lot sooner than I expected.

all the different “sciences” for measuring body fat come to different results. And from there it’s all in opinion how significant those numbers are. The way too ancient Army body fat way says I’m in the low 20 percents, but i could outrun most on a five+ mile run in any unit I’ve been in. Other methods have me lower fwiw

I know the 955 is a better watch all the way around mainly because of its gps and health sensors. I believe that's a fact and if I did more than walk, I would have tried it without hesitation.

I know mine has the alerts, alarms and calenders that are important to me and how seamless it is with my phone and tablet. That's huge. Obviously. The 955 might have all that too but I could never find the info I was looking for and wasn't patient enough to go somewhere and see one.

Blah blah, I look forward to talking to you about yours when you get it.

May not be ideal, but I've tracked mine on my watch for a year and it may not be accurate but it's consistency has me comfortable with its 17% when I get there. That make sense? Lol.

I used to be 5’9”. Not any more. The wonderful world of collapsing vertebrae with age.

At one point I got measured at a little over 5’7” (!!!) and decided that maybe there was some point after all to standing up straight. I now stretch out to a little over 5’8”, and by golly, I’m sticking to it! (all measurements in socks or barefoot) Walking stretched is better for my back anyway, so win win.

I’m now between 5’4 and 5’3 ish. I started at a good 5’5 on the little high. I now have to do a good jump at my age for work pots. My body calls foul every time.
