Default Incorrect BMI on tickers!

Hi just thought I'd mention that my Ticker incorrectly calculates my BMI. I am 71.3kgs my height is 1.72m. My BMI is 24. According to my ticker if I turn on the BMI reading it calculates my BMI to be 27!!
This is significant difference. I'm a healthcare professional and know how to check my BMI I've been doing it for years. Weight in kgs divided by height in metres squared.
I urge people not to rely on their tickers for an accurate BMI.

Mine is correct, based on your calculation.

Maybe its a clever ticker and knows you're lying about your height? (We all like to add a few cm's don't we)

Have you tried inputing in Feet and inches?

Take the lifts out of your shoes before measuring your height!

Hi Mouse,

The old "fat fingers" problem eh?

And, no, Marc - Mouse had his height as 1.62 - so he wasn't adding cms - he was subtracting them (but not meaning to). Not uncommon....

How do I know? I just worked it out backward - I quite liked algebra at school (Might make me appear to some as kind of weird - but feels about right to me )
