  1. Yeah I’m also 5’2 and 105 and it says I’m supposed to be 108-121 but I look really pretty average for my height not underweight or anything

  3. So apparently this thing can’t measure bodies that are too small. I’m a 5’5″ male and my wrist has a 5.75″ circumference. It didn’t recognize me under male. I had to switch to female where it told me that I was small framed and that I should weigh between 117-130 pounds. I’m at 155 right now, so it confirms I have some more weight to lose. I think this is rather accurate, but still confusing since it couldn’t even measure me. I’m almost 25, so it’s not like I have some growing left to do. I guess guys as small as me are just really uncommon.

  5. This calculator isn’t very accurate. I am 6′ tall with 8.5″ wrists. It says I’m supposed to be between 164lbs and 188lbs. When I was 17 years old I was 205lbs with a 29″ waist and thin. When I was 20 I was 228lbs at 9% body fat. It’s not possible for me to get into the 180’s without looking like a starving Ethiopian.

  6. I’m 6′, 9.3″ wrists and you can see the bone, just a big frame… what should my ideal weight be? I extrapolated (or tried to) and came up with 180-224?

  7. My wrist is 7.25 inches. I am 5’1″ and weigh 135lbs. I have larger wrists than many men I know, but I am very short. Is this abnormal?
