Weighing yourself regularly is one of many ways to get your health data. If you want to learn more about your body composition, you should invest in a smart scale. Most smart scales give you an estimated measurement of your body fat, muscle mass and heart rate. As CNET’s fitness expert, my role is to offer honest, informative and helpful fitness and wellness advice. That’s why I tested top-rated smart scales for over two weeks, comparing their results with recent readings from my latest physical exam and tracking consistency with daily weigh-ins. These are the models that stood out for their accuracy, features and overall value.

What is the overall best smart scale?

Because most of these smart scales offer different options for different preferences, we decided not to pick a best-overall option. Each smart scale has unique (and some similar) qualities that fit your specific needs, whether you’re an athlete or someone who monitors their weight occasionally.

Best smart scales for 2025

Most customizable smart scale

Wyze Scale X

Pros
  • Affordable at less than $50
  • Stylish for any bathroom
  • Easy to use
  • Suitable for various weights and people, with a 400-lb capacity
Cons
  • App could give more information
  • It could have more integrated apps
  • Not ideal for those who want a scale that connects to Wi-Fi

What we like about it: The Wyze Scale X is the most versatile scale on the list because it can weigh adults, babies, pets and even luggage. The scale’s face is made of smooth tempered glass and it’s conveniently lightweight and thin, so it can be stored easily. It has a weight capacity of 400 pounds, so people of various sizes can comfortably use it.

You can create up to eight profiles and customize them accordingly. This scale can read up to 13 body composition metrics, including body fat percentage, basal metabolic rate, metabolic age, muscle mass, body mass index and heart rate. The Wyze Scale X was consistent through every weigh-in during our two weeks of testing.

How we tested the best smart scales

Ease of use: I looked at how easy it is to sync up the scale and app using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. Additionally, how easy it is to interpret the weight and other data provided by the scale.

Design: I looked at whether the scale is aesthetically pleasing and designed to blend into different rooms.

Consistency: I looked at weight across the board for two weeks and made sure it was consistent for multiple weigh-ins at the same time each day.

App measurements: I looked at the app interface and the measurements provided, as well as how detailed and easy it is to access and read.

Other smart scales tested

FitTrack Dara BMI Smart Scale: I wanted to give this smart scale a chance because it had the most body composition measurements, but it never functioned properly when I weighed myself. The only data it provided was my weight, but it never seemed to capture the rest.

Omron Body Composition Monitor and Scale: I had a hard time setting this scale up. I tried troubleshooting and following the directions it came with, but to no avail.

Factors to consider

Price: Consider how much you’re willing to spend on a scale. Just because a scale is expensive doesn’t mean it’s the best option. There are inexpensive scales that can provide the same measurements.

Features: Determine if you’re going to want various measurement modes such as for pregnancy, pets or children.

Accuracy: Smart scales aren’t always accurate and the only way to get the most precise measurement is through a DEXA (or DXA) scan. Consult with a medical professional if you’re interested in this data.

Electrical currents: If you wear a pacemaker or implanted medical device, make sure the scale offers an option to shut off electrical currents. Currents sent by a scale are generally safe, but they can potentially interfere with the device.

Weight limit: It’s important to consider the weight capacity on a scale as you want to make sure it can handle various weights. This is also something to consider if you are pregnant and want to safely weigh yourself.

Body image: If you struggle with body image or are recovering from an eating disorder, consider discussing with your doctor if owning a smart scale is the right choice for you. Some scales don’t show your weight or have a similar mode setting.

App compatibility: If you’d like to sync the scale to shared apps, make sure your app of choice is compatible with the scale.

Connectivity: Decide if you’d like your smart scale to connect to Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or both. Some allow both connections, while others only allow one.

User-friendly interface: Choose a smart scale that has an interface that’s easy to read and follow. This will also be helpful if there are multiple users.

Durability: Choose a smart scale that is long-lasting and can handle multiple recharges or battery changes. If you’re concerned about your scale breaking down too soon, make sure you know its warranty.

Privacy policy: If privacy is a concern, make sure you read the privacy policy of the smart scale you plan to purchase first.

Battery life: Whether you’re going to use the scale often or occasionally, you want a smart scale with decent battery life that doesn’t require constant recharging.

•How does a smart scale work?

Smart scales rely on a technology called bioelectrical impedance analysis. The scales send small electrical impulses through your body — up your leg, across your hips and down your other leg — measuring resistance and then using a mathematical formula to estimate your body composition. Before stepping on, make sure the scale is set to zero so you get an accurate reading.
