Product Information

Partner all this with the smartwatch of your choice – there are many – and you've got yourself a robust personal trainer for considerably less cost to you that will be there in your bathroom with you every morning guiding you towards a healthy lifestyle. It's a win in our eyes. How we test smart scales We tested 20 smart scales, but only 14 reach all of the criteria to make it in our final list of recommendations. While these three didn't quite make the cut, we did find some notable features: VIVA is a part of the smart ecosystem of best-in-class Blood Pressure Monitors. Monitoring your body composition together with blood pressure and heart rate can help you understand your cardiovascular health and can help take action in time.

Readability is the only attribute this scale didn’t receive a perfect score on. We found the display very easy to read, and changing between units was simple. But additional measurements (like heart rate, visual representation of weight trends, and other metrics) are only visible on the app and are not displayed on the actual scale, which is why it lost points in the readability department. Once you’ve stepped off the connected scales, measurements usually get fired over to a fitness app on your phone. That’s also the place to get everything set up and view detailed information like graphs, health data, and trends over time.Wyze Scale X: This scale was ready to go right out of the box, and super easy to use each time we stepped on. But we found the precision to be slightly off, making it unworthy of a spot on our list. Body composition values are out of the measurement range. Make sure personal data such as age, gender, and height are correctly registered. The main unit cannot measure body composition beyond its measurement range, even if the settings are correct. Eufy's Smart Scale P2 Pro is a feature-rich full-body monitoring system that can measure 16 different metrics for multiple members of your household, including pets and babies. But this smart measuring device can do more than just measure weight and body fat – the P2 Pro can also measure resting heart rate, protein percentage and body age, among other things. Sadly, not all measurements are accurate, especially fat calculations. During our testing, both visceral and subcutaneous fat levels were reported as high, despite the overall body fat level being in the normal range. Even more strangely, this overall fat level was also much higher than expected; our reviewer had a DEXA scan done and been given a fat score of 12% three months prior to testing the Eufy P2 Pro, yet the scale said he had 21% body fat – and that's without any visible changes in physique.

Error 4 on the Omron BF511 scale indicates a measurement problem. Here are some possible causes and solutions:Some reviewers report a slight fluctuation in weight readings, so you may want to get on the scale a few times to make sure it is accurate. And believe us when we say, there's nothing quite like taking a look at your BMI and body fitness age to motivate you to work harder in the iron jungle. These smart scales are an underrated and versatile tool in any fitness fiend's arsenal, so long as you take advantage of the stats they give you. We implement rigorous processes and procedures in OMRON Healthcare, such as training, and regular evaluation and assessment of measures taken. Another thing to pay attention to is whether a smart scale has some kind of ‘safe mode’ for people with pacemakers or people who are pregnant. Safe mode, or ‘weigh only’ mode, disables bioelectric impedance analysis (BIA), which uses a weak electric current to determine body fat percentage and could pose a safety threat to certain users.

If your weight is 150 kg or more, it is outside the measurement range of this device and cannot be used. The setup took several minutes, but we found it to be worth the wait for the great features this scale offers. The scale is lined with carpeted feet so that readings are precise on all surfaces. We found it easy to read, displaying your weight, BMI, step count, weight trends, and even the weather right from the scale’s screen.
