Customers are mixed about the ease of use of the tape measure. Some mention that it's exceedingly easy to use, operate on your own, and review. Others say that it can be frustrating to use and confusing to work at first. The manual doesn't make it clear what to press to retract the tape.

This tape measure is easy to use and accurate. I compared readings to my traditional tape measure and they agreed. I'm very pleased with my purchase.
This tape measure is exceedingly easy to use, but make sure you calibrate it first. (With the measure fully retracted, press the power and select button at same time). The last measurement memory is helpful, but since it only stores the last single measurement, I still think logging them in a workbook or spreadsheet is best.
Even if you aren't someone with a big fitness goal, this gadget has great utility if you do a lot of clothes shopping online. Ever since I got a Prime subscription years ago, most of my clothes shopping has shifted to online purchases. When it comes to clothes, each manufacturer has different sizing charts for what they consider small, medium, large, etc. I never really knew my measurements; because returns are free here, I just ordered until I found something that fit. It kind of wasted a lot of time and negated the benefits of free two day shipping.
A lot of clothing listings on Amazon don't have specific sizing charts available, but you can find exact sizing charts on most clothing manufacturer's websites. Reference the manufacturer's sizing, buy inexpensively on Amazon (or wherever), and worry less about having to return and reorder. The saved time will pay for this gadget many times over. Very happy with my purchase.
The product is a bit wide, so it might be wider than some of your body parts (it's wider than my wrists and forearms for example (I am a 5'6" girl)). Therefore, there will be a noticeable gap between your body and the tape (near the unit). So you know the measurement isn't correct.
I also wish the product would have included some tips for measuring yourself, such as how tight the tape should be, in what position you should measure each body part, etc.
Also, be careful not to connect the tape the wrong way. The picture doesn't really show this, but the tape is permanently connected to one end of the unit (where the tape comes out) and the other end of the tape can be connected or disconnected from the unit as needed. If you accidentally rotate the tape, you might connect it to the unit backwards. It can be a pain to get it disconnected again if you do this, so watch out.
As an FYI, these are the body parts the product measures. It will record your last measurement for each part for you. But you can choose to just ignore the body part it says and measure whatever you want:
* Neck
* Shoulders
* Chest
* Bicept (1 side only)
* Waist
* Hips
* Thigh (1 side only)
* Calf (1 side only)
Anyway, this will save your measurements and the measurements of another person. I actually don't really pay attention to that function, I prefer to write it down, but it has been consistent and hasn't lost a measurement. It is, however, easy to measure over the measurement you made if you're not paying attention. You can use it in imperial or metric, I've found the digital measurements to be accurate.
I've only encountered an error message a couple times. What I do is just adjust the tape all the way back into the port, and it usually resets itself and can measure again. If that doesn't work, I just reset it and it works fine. I've been using it for several months and it hasn't lost battery yet.
Thanks for your time! If you have any questions let me know.

Update 02/18: I’ve had this device for 4 years and it’s had a lot of use over this time frame. Unfortunately the tape has started to fall apart at the very end. The part that hooks into the device to tighten the tape (if that makes sense). The tape can be a bit finicky but truly no more than your typical winding tapes. I have used it over and over on one body part and always get the same reading. I’ve also compared it with a manual tape and it is very accurate. I can’t speak for others but I’ve had no problems with this product. In fact I’m extremely happy with it.
I came to repurchase this product but unfortunately the price has gone up over $5 since I first bought it. And I thought the $25 I paid was a bit much at the time. Since the price has gone up I’ve decided to just try and repair the one I have. It’s a good product but definitely not worth the $32, in my opinion. I give the product 5 stars but the price 2.
