If you're looking for the best combination of features, an attractive design, and a user-friendly app, you'll love the Eufy Smart Scale P1. It can track up to 14 insightful metrics including body fat, BMI, muscle mass, and more. Got multiple users? No problem. This smart scale allows for up to 16 different users.

It's compatible with popular apps, including Apple Health, Google Fit, and Fitbit. This is easily one of the most accurate smart scales out there thanks to two pairs of super-sensitive G-shaped sensors that guarantee more precise measurements.

Some smart scales have a dedicated pregnancy mode for expectant users, but the Eufy does not. More importantly, the company specifically states that this scale should not be used by pregnant women. It also doesn't have Wi-Fi, but for the affordable price tag, many users might be content with the features it offers.

Pros:

  • Tracks 14 metrics
  • Allows for up to 16 users
  • Excellent accuracy
Cons:

  • Lacks Wi-FI connectivity
  • Not for pregnant users

Best Value: FITINDEX Bluetooth Body Fat Scale

If you're on a budget but you'd still like to invest in a smart scale, this option from FITINDEX is a great buy. It's easy to operate and tracks 13 key metrics to help you keep track of your stats and progress. Did we mention that this smart scale allows unlimited users? The whole family can enjoy the perks.

It has a sleek but durable design with a tempered glass platform. You'll appreciate the innovative step-on technology and auto-calibration that makes for a simple and quick weigh-in process. Additionally, you can sync all of your data to Samsung Health, Apple Health, Fitbit, and Google Fit.

While the FITINDEX scale is the cheapest option on this list, it does lack Wi-Fi connectivity. If that was a feature you were hoping for, you can expect to pay a bit more to get it. The corresponding app is sufficient but it can be tricky to navigate for first-time smart scale users. Fortunately, that can be solved with a bit of practice.

Pros:

  • Affordable price tag
  • Tracks 13 metrics
  • Unlimited users
Cons:

  • App could be better
  • Lacks Wi-Fi connectivity

Best for Fitbit Users: Fitbit Aria Air

Fitbit users who already have a multi-device ecosystem going will benefit from the Aria Air smart scale. It's more limited than some of the other options on this list, but those who prefer simplicity will find it to be sufficient. It connects to your Fitbit app via Bluetooth.

Whenever you weigh yourself, your data will automatically sync to the app where your data is displayed in easy-to-read graphs. The Aria Air is multi-user friendly and comes in black or white. If you're not worried about the extra metrics that other smart scales track, you'll be content with receiving your weight and BMI with the Aria Air.

It's no secret that the Fitbit Aria Air is a rather basic "smart" scale, especially in comparison to some other choices on the market. Beginners or those who prefer simplicity may not mind the missing perks. You won't have Wi-Fi, a pregnancy mode, and you'll only be able to sync to the Fitbit app.

Pros:

  • Multi-user friendly
  • Automatically syncs to Fitbit app
  • Two color options
Cons:

  • Lacks Wi-Fi connectivity
  • No pregnancy mode
  • Fewer metrics than other scales
  • Only syncs to Fitbit app

around your home, you'll love the Withings Body+ even more. Simply ask to hear your recent stats or progress over a specific period.

It's also one of the few smart scales with a pregnancy mode, which provides helpful insights about healthy weight gain and allows you to track your baby's weight as well. You can also have up to eight different users on the Withings Body+.

The main con with this smart scale is the hefty price tag. However, you really can't beat the features you get with this one. Other than that, it features a fragile glass top design. Sure, it looks nice in your bathroom, but if you've got kids or pets running around then it could end up being a hazard.

Pros:

  • Wi-Fi connectivity
  • Works with Alexa
  • Multi-user friendly
  • Pregnancy tracking
Cons:

  • Expensive
  • Fragile design

Best for Beginners: RENPHO Body Fat Smart Scale


Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!


When you're looking for a smart scale for first-time users that's easy to operate, this option from RENPHO is ideal. It tracks 13 important metrics and will sync them all automatically. Not connected when you step on the scale? Not to worry, it will still sync your weigh-in for you next time you're connected via Bluetooth.

The app makes it easy to share progress with friends. Whether you're partial to Apple Health, Samsung Health, Google Fit, or Fitbit, this smart scale can sync to all of them. You don't have to do much other than step on the scale, so it's perfect for beginners.

Aside from the lack of Wi-Fi, the only downside of the RENPHO smart scale is that you can only sync to one device. Having the option for unlimited users becomes a bit of a drag when the data can only be viewed on one device.

Pros:

  • Tracks 13 metrics
  • Unlimited users
  • Great for beginners
Cons:

  • Lacks Wi-Fi connectivity
  • Can only sync to one device

When you desire in-depth metrics, tracking for multiple users, and Wi-Fi connectivity, you'll want to check out the Garmin Index. This smart scale tracks your weight, body fat, water percentage, skeletal muscle mass, and more. The setup process is quick and easy, too.

This scale is so smart that it can automatically recognize which user is stepping on the scale and will sync the data accordingly. The display is big and bright, so you'll never struggle to read your weigh-in. It's worth noting this is a good pick for Garmin smartwatch users who want all of their data in one place.

As the most expensive option on the list, the Garmin Index may not be for everyone. Unless you're serious about your health/fitness tracking, it might be hard to stomach the thought of paying this much for a scale. With so many other great features, it's a bummer that Garmin didn't include a dedicated pregnancy mode on this smart scale.

  • Tracks all of the key metrics
  • Allows up to 16 users
  • Battery lasts up to 9 months
Cons:

  • Most expensive option
