9 Best Smart Scales (Review) In 2021

Who doesn’t love a budget-priced product with high-end ambitions and with the RENPHO you get a smart scale that easily scoops our ‘Best Value’ title. For all your basic weight and body data, in a clean, eye-catching design that syncs with the main fitness apps such as Apple, Google Fit and Fitbit, for less than $30, you don’t need to look anywhere else.

At such a bargain price, the RENPHO Bluetooth body fat scale has a quality feel in its build and its LED display is bright and easy to read. The device is easy to set up and as long as your smartphone is within easy reach, readily syncs to its app. There are also 11 metrics tracked, including weight, BMI and body fat (it even claims to track your ‘body age’), giving you enough data to track your progress and reach your fitness and weight loss goals.

Our best value smart scale comes from Smart home device specialists eufy and offers great spec at an excellent price. Its versatility helped this Bluetooth scale weigh in on the top spot and performs on par with some of the more expensive digital scales in our review. It does need to be recalibrated every so often to maintain its accuracy but that’s a manageable niggle for a digital weight scale that’s robust enough for the whole family to use. It has a sleek, smart design, with the tempered glass design easy to keep clean, while the LCD display is clear and big enough to read at speed.

So, what about the spec for its less than $40 price tag? Well, it comes with its own EufyLife App which, while a little basic, is easy to use and understand. It also easily syncs with both Apple Health and Google Fit and the connectivity range is sufficient, although the nearer your smartphone to the unit the better. It also pairs with up to 20 accounts to track multiple users, without the hassle of changing connection with each user. All the core data is recorded – including weight, BMI, muscle mass and body fat – and it will also hold on to data to synch later if your smartphone is not connected. All in all, eufy Smart Scale with Bluetooth is an excellent ‘on-the-go’ digital scale that’s worthy of our Best value title.

Near the top end of the Instash budget, the Fitbit Aria 2 is a quality digital weight scale that offers both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity to ensure you are always on track.

Stepping on the runaway success of the Fitbit health tracker, this is the latest smart scale incarnation of their Aria model and makes the most of the Fitbit app platform to track all your essential data. As part of your overall health and fitness program, the Aria 2 is a good addition and the build quality almost justifies the price tag. Designed for multi-users – the Aria can recognize up to eight users at a time – it tracks the essentials such as weight, BMA, lean mass, and body fat percentage, automatically syncing the data to your Fitbit for on-the-go tracking. It will also set weight, hydration and nutrition goals as well as log meals. It also throws in a simple calorie tracker and rewards progress with motivation badges (if that’s your thing!) The app, as you’d expect from Fitbit, is versatile and the dashboard user-friendly but is a little fiddly to do the initial set up and the connection can be a little hit and miss but as a practical and information-relevant smart weight scale, this is a nice bit of kit.

Put two heavyweight brands together in the digital scale arena and you get the Body+, a worthy premium choice in our best smart scales review. Nokia has teamed up with Withings to create an excellent all-around smart scale that can step it up when your health and fitness goals need a bit of a boost. This is a smart-looking smart scale that is compact enough to discretely fit anywhere in your home. But when it comes to its functionality, the Body+ is anything but quiet and retiring. It can sync with an impressive range of devices, including the Apple Watch, Fitbit and Google Fit plus over 100 top health and fitness apps. So what data do you get for your smart scale money? You get the ‘full body composition’ package, including weight, body fat, water percentage, muscle, and bone mass plus some nice extras, including pregnancy tracker and Baby Mode for the little ones. Then there’s nutrition tracking and even weather forecast, so you can step off the scale and plan your indoor or outdoor exercise for the day. The Body+ can track up to eight users and all data is automatically synched to its Health Mate app.

The black tempered glass, while stylish, can be a tad difficult to keep clean but with precision weighing to be accurate to 0.2 pounds and 18-month battery life, we can forgive a few dusty feet marks!

We know that Garmin has the rep when it comes to outdoor sports and is the go-to brand for many adventurers, bikers and trail runners. But can they successfully bring their outdoor smart tech to the cozy climes of your bathroom? We’d say yes…and a fine job they have done too with their first venture into the world of digital scales. Yes, it is at the pricier end of our smart scales review, but you do get all the essential weight tracking for your buck, with the Garmin expertise in smart tracking adding to the experience. Configured for up to 16 users, and easy to sync to your smartphone or device, the Wi-Fi-enabled Index connects straight to the Garmin Connect account, so great if you are already a Garmin smart tech user, plus you get free access to their online fitness community. All the essential data you need from a body composition scale is there – weight, BMI, Body fat and water percentage, plus skeletal muscle and bone mass. You need to stand on its tempered glass surface barefoot and on a good, hard surface for accurate results, but its accuracy is consistent and the tracked data simple and effective to use to set goals and track progress.

The main downside is that you need to have a Garmin account and the device is not compatible with most other devices and software. But if you are a Garmin devotee, this is the smart scale route to go to keep all your tracking happily connected.

That’s some promise if the name of Greater Goods is anything to go by, but they totally get away with it with this great value smart body fat scale.

From its compatibility to all the popular apps (Fitbit, Google, Apple Health and so on…) to its classy design and cool looks, we really like Greater Goods Bluetooth Smart Body Fat Scale. The tempered glass top is durable, and it does come with an impressive five warranty for extra reassurance. It can also work with up to eight individual user profiles, syncing data securely to its Weight Guru app for easy and instant information review. And it measures all the essential data you need, including weight, BMI, body fat, lean mass, water weight, & bone mass to help you keep on track. The Bluetooth connection is fast, and its range is decent. And if you forget your phone when you go to weigh in, it will still record and store the data, ready to sync later. We like the display too, solid and clear, and shows not only your weight but all your other measurements for a quick on-the-spot review.

For a mid-priced smart scale, the Yunmai Premium has quickly established a reputation for accuracy and ease of use. When it comes to recording your weight, this super thin, cool scale is within 0.25 of a pound and is quick to set up. Compatible with all the big players, Apple Google and Fitbit and a host of smart devices, the Yunmai app is an easy to use affair, and the scales come with a top end maximum weight capacity of 400 pounds.

When it comes to tracking your data, it’s the things you can really use to track your progress, including weight, body fat, muscle rate, water, bone mass, visceral fat, BMI and body age.  And with a decent Bluetooth connectivity range, keep your phone with you and you will always be ready to step on, weigh and sync. Then there are the nice design touches, like the porthole LCD display which is nice and clear to read and the option to have up to 16 users. Plus, weigh while you are not connected, and it will upload later when you fire up the Bluetooth. The battery system isn’t the longest lasting in this review but all in all, a nice smart scale for the core data to help you in your weight loss and health plans.

Bucking the square smart scale trend, the QardioBase is a little bit of rebel on the digital weight tracking front but at the end of the day all that matters is how it performs and the data you get. And overall, it hits the mark. The QardioBase 2 is the most expensive in our best smart scale review and you get a nice bit of spec for the money. But there are some limitations, both in tech and in design.

But first, the really good stuff. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi enabled, syncing is a breeze (even if your phone is not to hand) and its app is best buds with the most popular apps and devices out there, including Apple Health and Google Fit. Data-wise is logs the good stuff, including weight and body composition detail such as muscle mass, body fat, and water. Then there are the nice add-ons if you need them, such as the Pregnancy mode and it can be used for multiple users, so a good addition to the active (or not so active) family. And you may like (or not!) the smiley emojis that aim to motivate you towards your goal. Finally, there’s no need for batteries, just recharge when needed, which QardioBase say should be on average once a year. We like.  The circular design can be a little awkward though, especially when trying to read the display from above and to keep it accurate you may find you need to recalibrate it regularly to keep it on its toes.

If it is more than just weight and BMI you are after, then have a look at the top spec iHealth Body Composition Scale for a total body ‘at home’ analysis.

Clean and clinical in its design, this is a smart scale that expects you to take it seriously. And you do get a lot of data for the just under $130 price tag. There’s a secure Wi-Fi connection that gets you syncing as you need it, and it has enough memory to store up to 200 readings offline, ready for you to go online and sync at your leisure – perfect for when you forget your phone. It can also accommodate up to 10 unique user profiles making it a great at home digital scale for all the family. It records the essentials, including weight, body fat percentage, lean mass and BMI, body water, visceral fat rating, muscle mass, and bone mass. But what we really like is the associated iHealth MyVitals app, which really gets you making sense of the numbers and plan and track your goals. It can also let you share the data with your doctor or personal trainer for that extra insight. The battery life could be better, and you may need to recalibrate once in a while, but a solid, serious smart scale for collecting that essential data.
