Choose ifYou want a low-cost scale that tracks weight trends and sends body readings to the Wyze app.You want fat and muscle readings by body zone, an ECG function and blood oxygen from one scale.
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 costs $599.95, its DEXA figure comes from a study of the earlier Body Scan, and the newest scores and Apple Health sync for new accounts need Withings+.
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
  • Battery: Four 1.5 V AAA batteries, included. Wyze says up to 22 months of battery life
  • Display and operating range: LED display for weight and body fat. Operating temperature 41°F to 104°F (5°C to 40°C), storage -4°F to 131°F
  • Use guidance: Bare feet on both electrodes for body composition. With socks or shoes on, the scale measures weight only. Damp feet are fine, but wet feet may affect accuracy. Wyze says carpets and rugs can affect calibration
  • In the box: Wyze Scale X, four AAA batteries and a quick start guide
  • Body composition method: Multi-frequency bioimpedance spectroscopy at 13 frequencies up to 800 kHz, against 3 frequencies up to 250 kHz on the earlier Body Scan, per Withings. It uses 12 electrodes, 8 in the platform and 4 in the handle, so the current runs from hands to feet. It reports fat and muscle for six body zones (arms, legs, torso and abdomen). Whole-body readings are body fat %, body water %, muscle mass, bone mass, visceral fat index and basal metabolic rate
  • Weighing: Four weight sensors. Range 9 to 440 lb (5 to 200 kg) in 0.1 lb (50 g) steps. Units: kg, lb and st lb
  • ECG, SpO2 and cardiovascular features: 6-lead ECG recorded over 30 seconds while you stand on the scale and hold the handle. SpO2 from a light sensor under your left thumb, which Withings calls a wellness feature. Also standing heart rate, pulse wave velocity, vascular age and a Nerve Response Score from the foot electrodes. In the US, Blood Pressure Insights notifications are a wellness score that Withings says doesn't measure your blood pressure
  • Scan modes: A Daily Scan takes about 30 seconds and covers weight, segmental body composition, heart rate and pulse wave velocity by default. A Longevity Scan takes about 2 minutes, is offered every 7 days and adds ECG, SpO2, vascular age and the Nerve Response Score. Body composition, SpO2, ECG and Heart and Vascular Age need the handle. Without it you still get weight, BMI, pulse wave velocity and the Nerve Response Score
  • Users and modes: Recognizes up to 8 users. The product page lists Athlete and Baby modes and says Pregnancy and Eyes Closed modes are coming, while a support article lists Weight-Only, Athlete and Pregnancy modes. Body composition is only available to people 16 or older
  • Connectivity and app: Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n. The product page lists Bluetooth as coming soon, but Withings' installation guide pairs the scale over Bluetooth and offers a Bluetooth-only option. Needs the Withings app on iOS 18 or later, or Android 12 or later. Stores up to 16 readings when it can't sync
  • Display: A 640 x 172 pixel color LCD in the handle, with two thumb buttons. Withings gives its size as 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5 in on different pages
  • Battery and charging: Built-in rechargeable 3.7 V, 2,500 mAh lithium-ion battery that Withings says lasts up to 1 year per charge. A full charge takes up to 5 hours over the USB cable provided, and you can't use the scale while it charges
  • Features that need Withings+: Heart Age and Glucose Resilience need a Withings+ subscription. Withings' FAQ of Jul 12, 2026 marks Glucose Resilience as coming soon, and the product page says feature availability depends on software updates. The product page's Withings+ box lists ECG cardiologist reviews, with 4 included. Baseline data and trends stay free
Exact variantWyze Scale X, black or white, Classic or Butterfly sensor pattern (same price), four AAA batteries includedBodyScan 2 with retractable handle and handle display, black, Wi-Fi, rechargeable
Dimensions11.8 x 11.8 x 1.18 in and 3.96 lb (1.80 kg), per Wyze's tech specs and its comparison table.12.8 x 14.1 x 0.7 in (325 x 357 x 18.5 mm), per Withings' product page. The page's comparison chart gives a total weight of 7.5 lb for the BodyScan 2. The weighing capacity is 440 lb (200 kg).
InstallationNo installation. Put the scale on a hard, flat floor, since Wyze says carpet affects calibration. Pair it in the Wyze app over Bluetooth, then enter your year of birth, height and other details. Stand on it with bare feet. Four AAA batteries are included.No installation. You set it up in the Withings app, with Bluetooth on, location permission and your Wi-Fi password. The app pairs the scale with a 6-digit code and then connects it to Wi-Fi. Withings recommends Wi-Fi, and says a scale set up without it loses most of its functions. It can't be set up from a computer. In the US, the ECG function needs its own activation. You give your state and a US phone number, and a board-certified cardiologist reviews your first ECG at no added cost. Withings says that US activation is for scales bought from a US retailer or online store.
MaterialsTempered glass with an ITO (indium tin oxide) coating. Wyze describes the glass surface as the electrodes. It lists an IPX3 water rating and names no frame or base material.A reinforced aluminum chassis with a large glass platform, per Withings' product page, which calls the platform both high-strength tempered glass and ITO glass. It lists 12 integrated electrodes: 8 ITO electrodes and 4 stainless steel electrodes. The handle's materials are not stated by the manufacturer. The box holds the BodyScan 2, a USB-C cable and a quick installation guide.
Warranty18 months when you buy from Wyze on or after Jan 1, 2026, and 1 year when you buy from an authorized retailer. Those terms come from Wyze's policy effective June 12, 2026. The product page's spec list still says 1-year, while its wyze.com benefits box says 18 months. Wyze replaces the scale or refunds the purchase at its choice. Misuse, modification, attempted repairs and unauthorized retailers aren't covered, and you need proof of purchase.2-year quality guarantee, per Withings' product page. The US store's terms of sale describe legal warranties under French law. They give no US warranty terms, so conditions, exclusions and claim steps weren't confirmed.

The scale must come back in original condition with its accessories and packaging. Wyze refunds the price and sales tax to your payment method, as store credit or on a gift card, at its choice.

Withings+ payments already made are non-refundable, with an exception if you weren't told about automatic renewal.
Unresolved questions
  • Accuracy of the Scale X's weight and body composition readings: Wyze gives no figure, and no study naming the Scale X was found
  • Which Wyze Scale model the 2023 study tested
  • Whether the Wyze app or any scale feature ever needs a paid plan
  • What replacement AAA batteries cost, since Wyze doesn't price them

  • The terms of Withings' 2-year quality guarantee in the US
  • Whether returns are free, and whether the 30 days count from receipt or purchase, since Withings' pages disagree
  • Whether the scale has 12 electrodes (the product page and FAQ) or 8 (one support article)
  • The handle display size, which Withings gives as 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5 in
  • Whether Bluetooth sync works yet, and which modes are live
  • Charging power draw
