Wyze Smart Scale for Body Weight and Fat, FSA HSA Eligible, Digital Bathroom Scale, Weighing Machine for People's Muscle BMI, Bluetooth Electronic Body Composition Monitor, 400lb

The scale works as advertised. This is my first smart scale and I chose Wyze because of the price point, I already have other products of theirs, and the reviews. Adding and pairing the scale to my iphone was super super quick and easy (obviously helped by the fact I'm already on Wyze). I recently changed up my diet some and am interested to see how my weight trends over time. The previous scale I had was not 'smart' so I had to write down or track my weight manually. This kind of scale makes tracking way easier because it's more automated, of course. How does this scale compare to other smart scales? I couldn't tell you.I have no way to know if the other metrics the scale provides is accurate, but I'm more interested in how they shift over time anyway than the accuracy. I'd like to believe that the numbers are 'ballpark', but again, I have no way of knowing - which might be a good thing because I think there exists a propensity to obsess over the numbers and develop unrealistic expectations which in itself could lead to unhealthy behaviors. So I figure, if the numbers aren't accurate (other than weight itself), then there is nothing to obsess over.I have no major complaints about the app really, but perhaps my one nit is that I wish the trend lines the app displays shows the actual data points - again, just a nit - you can touch the line and the data pops up in a bubble, plus there is already another view to see the history in a table format.I only just got the scale so I may come back after a few/several months for an update to review on scale robustness and longevity. But so far, so good!

My plain, simple digital bathroom scale was over 20 years old. It did not have replaceable battery but the one it came with LASTED OVER 20 YEARS of moderate use by one person. When it finally gave out, against the warning on the back, I drool it apart and tried replacing the button battery with a new one (the same battery) but it didn’t bring the scale back to life.So I started searching for a new bathroom scale, which is way more difficult than I thought it would be! The brick-and-mortar stores around me had limited models and after checking their product reviews found all had a number of reviews saying they had quit working after a few months to a year.I even looked at a number of “best bathroom scales 2023” lists from general internet searches. Looking at the most frequently listed models on Amazon, thorough price/value evaluatiion (from reviews) led me to choose the Wyze Scale X, black version.It arrived in perfect condition and after reading the instructions, was easy to set up.I honestly did <not> want internet connectivity from a bathroom scale, but you don’t have to set up or use those functions for it to work correctly.It is sensitive to small changes (testing by weighing with/without clothes on) and though I have no other home bathroom scale to objectively compare values with, it does give me weight values that seem realistic and look correct AFAIK.It also will return a body fat composition score if you weigh in bare feet (as suggested) and stay on the scale after the initial weight is displayed, nbut I don’t care what the score is so I just get off once I get my weight. (I’m not a bodybuilder or health enthusiast to the point where a precise measurement of body fat means anything; who can’t already tell if they consider themself over-fat or not? I can. Lol)Size; large and heavy enough to feel secure when I get in and off.Easy of reading; great, an improvement over my old scale.The only downside I can found is that the glass-like surface shows dust and water spots easily. Maybe it is real glass, I’m not sure, but because the edges are exposed I try to be very careful to not hit it against anything hard when I move or clean it.I have started putting it in a bathroom cabinet , horizontally, when not in use. I think it can be stored vertically, which would save some space, but I suspect that might mess with the balance of the weight measuring components over time, idk.It was low/mid priced vs the competition, but I am too thrifty to consider it a disposable item that I’m willing to replace regularly, so I am trying to take good care of it if the care required is not too time/effort intensive.The battery is easily replaceable.And I am still thinking about how to get the 20 yr old scale operational again, in case this new one does crap out sooner than I’d like. There is one small board in it, connected to a few sensors under the outer deck. I scoured the internet looking for info on how to repair it, but the model is long discontinued and the entire product line has been sold to another mfg who doesn’t list it in their support area. I have engineers at my work that may be willing and able to diagnose and fix something, so that’s my next step when I get around to it.The obvious trend towards cheaper (in $ and in quality) components and finished products serves no one well IMHO and I do like to support good manufacturing when I find it.I hope the Wyze Scale X stands up to the test of time.(BTW, I am a buyer for a small US mechanical device manufacturer, and I understand that the cost of components and the finished goods are very important, but I am proud to say my company values reflect quality over cost and I’m glad they are so far successful despite the “race to the bottom” direction most competitors seem to choose. Go USA manufacturing!)

I like the scale very much. It’s sleek, smooth and attractive with its black exterior. Best of all, it works great. It has a nice, bright LED readout which can be viewed easily from a distance or at any angle. I’m not as gung ho regarding the app usage. I do recommend the scale.

The scale itself seems excellent to me. The app for it, on the other hand, from my experience was extremely frustrating to set up. The plus is that it lets you set your own target weight, so it's not insisting on you being anorexic and can actually understand if you're looking to gain weight instead of lose weight. The app really does have a lot of room for improvement though, and that's the only reason why it lost a star. I'm about to explore Google Fit which apparently can work in place of that app if you sync them up and grant the permissions and whatnot. I'll be giving that a shot tomorrow morning, I'm in the habit of weighing myself first thing in the morning.

Super accurate scale. Fair warning, have to have app open and Bluetooth enabled for link to activate and info to store on phone. Not a huge deal, but be aware.

I loved this digital scale from the start. Setup was incredibly easy, and the app is beautiful and very user-friendly. It’s actually motivated me to weigh myself every morning and track my progress. The in-app tracking features are great, and I especially appreciate the ability to create profiles for pets — I have two dogs and they each have their own! Overall, a fantastic purchase.

Awesome scale, just make sure to have 4 backup AAA batteries around as the ones that came with my scale died out around 5 days of having my scale.

I got this after learning my old scale was off by four pounds, and continued to give me inconsistent numbers. For $40, this scale is accurate, repeatable and easy to set up. The display is nice and bright, and calibration couldn't be simpler.I personally don't use the smart features (yet), but for how cheap the price is, it's a helluva scale.
