the best smart scales

Whether you’re looking to track your progress on the way to a weight goal, or you just simply want to be a little healthier, smart scales are useful tools. They’re accurate, provide valuable data, and sync up with your smartphone so you can easily log and share your results.

There’s a lot to consider when shopping for a smart scale including price, features, app compatibility, and customer ratings. To help you make the right decision, we’ve decided to put together a roundup of what we think are the best smart scales on the market right now.

Why choose a smart scale

Before we get started, you’re probably wondering what a smart Wi-Fi scale can do that a dumb, run-of-the-mill scale can’t. The answer is everything. Where the typical bathroom scale can only tell you your current weight, a smart scale can tell you your weight, BMI, body fat percentage, and other important health-related information. And then it can sync that information with a mobile device or PC, allowing you to easily track and share your results with others. Smart scales are also vaunted for their accuracy, have large, easy-to-read LED displays, and they typically feature sharp, modern designs.

What to look for in a smart scale

So what should you look for in a smart scale? Most of them offer the basic features listed above, but beyond that you’ll have to look for the options that best fit your needs, such as max weight and user support, specific types of health sensors, battery life, and compatibility with your favorite health app (such as Apple Health, Fitbit, MyFitnessPal, etc). Some scales also come with larger displays than others, if easy visibility is important to you, and the standard warranty goes up to 5 years. Finally, you’re going to want something that has generally positive reviews from both experts and consumers.

The Best Smart Scales

Withings Body Wi-Fi Scale

The Withings Body composition scale is perhaps the most popular smart scale out there, and there’s a good reason for it. Several review outlets have named it their top pick in the category, and it has at least a 4-star rating on major retailer websites such as Amazon and Best Buy. Features include accurate weight, BMI, body fat, muscle and water measurements, auto synchronization, and support for up to 8 users.

The original model is now listed as obsolete, but Withings has a new model to offer. This option offers all of the same measurements as the first model, so you won’t be missing any features. The best news, though, is the new model is actually cheaper. It’s available in black and white.

Weight Gurus Bluetooth Scale

The Weight Gurus is another popular choice in the smart scale space—and may even be better than the Withings for you depending on your needs and pricing at the time of purchase. Anyway, this smart scale has 4.5 star rating on Amazon on over 2K reviews, and features include secure 1:1 syncing, support for Google Fit, Apple Health and other apps, and the scale works even without your phone.

Fitbit Aria Wi-Fi Smart Scale

The Fitbit Aria is a bit of a conundrum. Its Amazon rating is under our 4-star threshold, and it’s by far the most expensive offering on this list. But given Fitbit’s dominant position in the fitness tracker world and the popularity of this scale, we felt it was worth mentioning.  Features include private data syncing with your Fitbit dashboard, a wireless connection via Wi-Fi, and support for up to 8 users and up to 350 pounds.
