r/HumeHealth

I’ve had a decent experience with my body pod but have never put a lot of faith in the health score, especially since they won’t tell you what goes into calculating it. I noticed this morning it just randomly dropped by about 45 points from yesterday, even though all of my health indicators are moving in the right direction.

Anyone else see the same thing?

So I have a 5.5” wrist and I have the 2.0 band. It’s huge on me and the end part that’s supposed to stick to the Velcro far surpasses it and it comes undone very easily. Has anyone had this issue? Are there replacement bands or other options somewhere? I’ve done some searching but can find any for the 2.0

Is there a way to tell the app/band that I'm cycling, not just sitting still with an elevated heart rate? I cycled my usual 50km today with my new band (2.0) on and it doesn't seem to think anything of it.

My iPhone app is now missing all data for May and June. Luckily, I have my iPad set up to not automatically update apps!

Soooo what’s the consensus on these? What’s the difference between this and something like an Apple Watch SE3, Garmin products, Whoop band, and all the other popular bands??

Is it worth it to buy one even if you don’t have a Hume Pod?

did a scan this morning and suddenly all my data points of april, may and June were just gone. glitch that will come back or gone forever?

So, when I purchased my bodypod, I came onto here and noticed a lot of people saying negative stuff about it, which made me want a refund before it even arrived, and it freaked me out, honestly. However, I've been using it for just a little over half a year now, and I can say that it has helped me with my weight loss journey a lot. I started at 240 and lost 30 lbs before I found the bodypod, but it took me a really long time to lose that 30 lbs, like I'm talking a year or so (could also be because a lot of stuff happened in my life, but I don't wanna get into all that).

I found the bodypod through a beauty influencer on YouTube, but didn't initially buy it because I'm a poor college student who is very skeptical of EVERYTHING I buy. I decided to go for it and bought it, making sure to take photos and videos of me opening it because I heard horror stories about people trying to get refunds.

I did the weigh-ins and stuff, and they weren't always accurate, but one thing I like about it is that when you use it multiple times in a row, and you're not sure which result is accurate, it takes the average of both results. I have compared results to doctor visits, and it seems to be pretty accurate, along with comparing to both my gym scales and my other scale. When I am running consistently, my muscle mass and fat % in my legs genuinely do change on the app, which surprised me because a lot of people were saying those were just made-up numbers.

Anyhow, the hume scale was my ONLY splurge in my weightweight lossloss journey. I bought a 40-dollar smart watch off Amazon, a cheap Owala water bottle (I was trying to choose between this fancy 200-dollar water bottle or the Hume scale and glad I made the choice I did), and this scale. All I did was run a lot, change up my mindset, and use this thing. I lost 82 lbs so far (NO OZEMPIC EITHER GUYS!! I'm an Ozempic hater unless you genuinely need it for your health)

Oh yeah! And a lot of people on here were saying a lot of stuff is locked behind a subscription paywall, which is kinda true but not really. I think the age range of this product varies really widely from poor college girl to rich old person, and as a poor college girl, I didn't really have the same expectations as some other people on here. That isn't to say that they're bad expectations, but I think the website makes it pretty clear which things are subscription-based and which aren't tbh. Then again, I research stuff a lot before I ever click the purchase button because I'm kind of a penny-pincher and all about reusing stuff and not buying new. I mean, I only shop at thrift stores, yet I bought this thing.

I am also really not a fan of AI, and I'm glad that the Hume scale app without a subscription doesn't force you to do all that mumbo jumbo. That's just a bonus for me, and I figured I'd throw it in for those considering purchasing this product, but it isn't really a big thing since AI should be focused on medical stuff like health scans instead of replacing artists' jobs if anything.

Overall, I'd rate it pretty well! Do I think this would be good as the ONLY thing to help someone lose weight or keep track of their fitness progress? No. You need other aspects of your life to change in order to make a change. This is just a helpful tool. BUT I do think it's a good tool if you don't fully rely on it. Like for me, I use it to make sure the weight I'm gaining as I lose weight and work out is from muscle and not bad eating habits. I also like that it gives you an estimated basal metabolic rate!

I am having trouble consistently getting measurements. It goes all the way but says measurement failed. It takes 10 times to get a measurement.

Hey guys I've been using Hume products for roughly a month now. How are you liking your insights? Do you feel its been worth the investment?

I have worn the Hume Band 2.0 for a week now and it seems pretty impressive to me, however I don't think I have seen anyone say anything positive about Hume and Hume Band 2.0.

Everyone says they are dodgy and overpriced but for a subscription free band with Blood Pressure readings the price isn't that bad.

The app on the other hand is terrible, not even got the most basic of options on it, like being able to control notifications. You have to amend the notifications within the app section in system.

I'm well within the 45 day full return period, should I return it?

TLDR: I think Hume Band 2.0 is good, am I wrong?

I’ve been having to reset the scales in order to get them to pair with my iPhone almost daily!!
Is this normal?

HI

I'm a 53yr old male. I had a DEXA scan on the 19th March 2026. I also for comparison took my hume body scale readings. This scan was after a bulk from January 1st. I strength train 5 days a week...include cardio 5 days a week also.... and am very dialled in on my diet in particular my protein requirements.

DEXA. HUME BODY POD

WEIGHT 102.6kg 102.6kg

FAT MASS 23.5kg 22.6kg

BODY FAT 23.2% 22.2kg

LEAN MASS. 75.26kg. 74.9kg

As you can see no major variation. However since then I have started a cut and now weigh 93.75kg. However this is the confusing part according to my Hume readings(not due another DEXA for 6 weeks).

According to Hume my new stats are as follows.

HUME BODY POD

WEIGHT 93.75kg

FAT MASS 21.8kg

BODY FAT 20.5kg

LEAN MASS. 71.5kg

Basically according to Hume all I've lost is muscle and fat mass is unchanged despite nearly 10kg weigh loss.

However I set up a new hume account and reduced my age to 33 and the results flip flopped body fat percentage falling dramatically whilst lean mass increasing.

My question is this an age bias in the algorithm where it assumes if a 53 yr old male loses weight it must be muscle whilst a younger guy is presumed to have increased is muscle mass.

Thanks for reading and appreciate any comments.

Considering purchasing a Hume Pod but they're not exactly cheap and I've heard mixed reviews. What has been your experience and how accurate have you found it?

I got all set up, and decided to buy a year after my free one month trial... Nope... Charged for a year immediately, and subscription renewal in 12 months. What the hell?
