Choose ifYou want a low-cost scale that tracks weight trends and sends body readings to the Wyze app.You want Withings' app, Wi-Fi sync and body composition readings from a scale without a handle or ECG.
Main trade-offWyze gives no accuracy figure that names the Scale X, and only weight and body fat show on the scale while the app holds the rest.It reads through the feet only, Withings publishes no accuracy figure for it, and some people must switch off its body-fat readings.
Key specifications
  • Body composition method: Bioelectrical impedance through 4 electrodes in the glass surface. The Wyze app shows 13 metrics: weight, body fat %, heart rate, lean body mass, BMI, muscle mass, muscle mass %, visceral fat, basal metabolic rate, bone mass, metabolic age, protein and body water %. Only weight and body fat show on the scale
  • Weighing: Four independent leg sensors. Range 11 to 400 lb (5 to 180 kg). Units: lb and kg
  • Heart rate: Measured in the Wyze app in under 10 seconds, according to Wyze. The scale's display shows only weight and body fat
  • Users, ages and modes: Up to 8 users, told apart by weight: they must differ by more than 13.2 lb with the app closed, or 6.6 lb with it open. Body composition appears for ages 10 to 100. Baby, pet, luggage and pregnancy modes, plus a weight-only mode that switches the current off
  • Connectivity and app: Bluetooth 5.0 (BLE), with a range of up to 32 ft in Wyze's testing. The scale stores readings and syncs when you open the Wyze app. Needs iOS 12 or Android 7.0 or later, and syncs with Apple Health, Fitbit and Health Connect. Wyze's spec list names no other connection
