The Wyze BodyScan smart scale redefines what is possible at a budget price point
Wyze BodyScan smart scale: One-minute review Over the years, Wyze has released a number of high-profile smart products across a range of different industries.
They began with cameras but have expanded their range to offer vacuums, lights, locks, and a collection of affordable smart scales.
The Wyze BodyScan sits just underneath their most premium offering, the BodyScan Ultra, and is the brand’s most affordable 8-electrode BIA (which stands for bioelectric impedance analysis, the method many smart scales use to scan users’ bodies) scale.
Offering segmental muscle and fat analysis across a user’s arms, legs, and torso, the BodyScan is more capable than almost all other smart scales at this price point.
As for its positioning in the market, the best smart scales for home users range from $20 for the Vitafit Smart Bathroom Scale all the way up to $599.95 / £449.95 / AU$895 for the Withings BodyScan 2 .
The BodyScan sits just above Vitafit’s offering and sets itself apart with segmented body composition reporting.
The BodyScan boasts a very impressive 4.7-inch LED screen, which displays seven different metrics, including weight, BMI, bone mass, protein, and body water percentage.
The display is one of the largest you’ll find on any smart scale, elevating the user experience well beyond the $84.98 price tag.
The remaining metrics, including protein, basal metabolism, and subcutaneous fat, are displayed in the Wyze app.
Unfortunately, because the app covers all Wyze products, it’s not a dedicated smart scale platform.
The interface provides little more than a presentation of the metrics in both data and graph form.
When compared to the premium Withings app experience, the two are worlds apart.
The BodyScan smart scale offers an incredible amount given the small price tag and delivers all the health metrics that most everyday users could ever need.
The scale offers only a little more than the basics, but it does those basics without fuss and without stress.
