Smart Body Fat Scale.
Weight and body fat, tracked over time.
A rechargeable bathroom scale that measures weight and estimates body fat percentage, then syncs both to a phone app so you can see the trend rather than a single number. Curved design, in Black, White or Pink. Read the safety section before use — this scale passes a small current through the body and must not be used by anyone with a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device.
One weigh-in tells you what today looks like. What the app gives you is the line through a month of them, which is the only way to tell whether what you are doing is working. Weight and body fat both move for reasons that have nothing to do with fat — a heavy meal, a hard session, a bad night — and a single reading cannot separate those from real change.
The reason to track body fat alongside weight is that the scale can stay exactly where it is while your composition changes underneath it. Training and eating well while the number on the floor does not move is one of the most demoralising things about trying to change your body — this at least shows you the change that the weight figure hides.
No hunting for the right coin cell, and no scale that dies the morning you decide to start. You charge it and it works, which removes the one small piece of friction that quietly ends a weighing routine. Keep the charging cable somewhere you will find it — a rechargeable device with a lost cable is a device you cannot use.
Black, White and Pink, in a curved body that looks deliberate on a bathroom floor rather than purely functional. It is a small thing, but a scale you are happy to leave out is a scale you actually step on — and consistency is what makes the data worth having.
Two figures tracked over time, synced to an app, in a rechargeable curved body.
Body fat percentage on a scale like this is an estimate, not a measurement. It is calculated from a small electrical signal rather than measured directly, and the result shifts with hydration, food, alcohol, exercise and the time of day. That does not make it useless — read at the same time under the same conditions, it tracks change faithfully — but it is not a clinical figure and should not be read as one. Two figures are all it reports: weight, and an estimate of body fat. It does not report muscle mass, bone density, visceral fat, body water or BMI.
Both weigh you. One of them estimates a second figure as well.
- Two figures — weight and estimated body fat
- Trends over time through the app
- Shows progress when weight stalls, which is the honest case for it
- Body fat is an estimate, not a clinical measurement
- Weight only, and nothing to interpret
- No current through the body, so no implanted-device restriction
- Usually cheaper and simpler to live with
- Cannot show you composition change when weight stalls
Weight and estimated body fat, synced to an app so you see the trend — a scale for people whose progress is not showing on the floor.
1 × Smart Body Fat Scale — in your chosen colour.
Adults tracking a health or fitness goal over months rather than days, and anyone whose weight has stopped moving while they are still training and eating well. Not for anyone with a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device, and not for children.
- Do not use this scale if you have a pacemaker, an implanted defibrillator, or any other implanted electronic medical device. It measures body fat by passing a very small electrical current through your body via the foot electrodes. That current is harmless to most people, but it is exactly the kind of signal an implanted device is designed to detect, and every manufacturer of this type of scale carries the same warning. Ask your clinician if you are unsure whether it applies to your device.
- If you are pregnant, ask a clinician before using it. Bioimpedance readings are not meaningful during pregnancy in any case, since the body's water distribution changes throughout.
- Do not use it if you have a cardiac condition and have not been cleared for bioimpedance measurement. The caution above is not a formality — it is the reason this warning exists on every scale of this type.
- This scale is for adults, not children. A body-composition figure derived from an adult algorithm is not meaningful for a child, and a child should not be using a scale unsupervised or treating a body fat reading as something to act on. If you want to track a child's growth, that is a conversation with their GP rather than a bathroom scale.
- Body fat percentage is an estimate, not a measurement. It is calculated from an electrical signal rather than measured directly, and it shifts with hydration, food, alcohol, exercise, illness and the time of day. Treat it as a trend rather than a figure.
- This is not a medical device and does not diagnose or monitor any condition. Nothing it reports should be used to make a decision about medication, treatment or diet without clinical advice.
- Keep the scale and its charging cable away from water. A bathroom floor is where it belongs; a wet floor, a shower or a bath is not. Never charge it with wet hands or on a wet surface.
- Do not use it on a wet or polished surface, and make sure the feet and the floor are dry before you step on — a scale is something you stand on with one foot first, and it should not be able to slide.
- Stand still and distribute your weight evenly when taking a reading. Bioimpedance measurement is sensitive to posture and contact, and shifting weight changes the result.
- Wipe the surface after use, particularly if more than one person uses it, and do not use abrasive cleaners on the electrodes.
- Stop using it if the surface cracks or the electrodes appear damaged, and do not use it barefoot if you have cuts or broken skin on the soles of your feet.
- Weight, measured by load cells in the feet of the scale. This is a real measurement, and it is the one figure on the display that is not derived from anything.
- Body fat percentage, estimated by bioelectrical impedance via the foot electrodes. A small current is passed through the body and the resistance it meets is used to estimate composition. It is a calculation from a signal, not a measurement of fat.
- It does not measure muscle mass, bone density, visceral fat or body water, and it does not calculate BMI. Two figures are reported: weight, and the body fat estimate.
- There is no analysis layer beyond arithmetic. The app stores readings and draws the trend; it does not interpret your data, diagnose anything, or tell you what to do about it.
- The body fat estimate moves with hydration, food, alcohol, exercise, illness and time of day, which is why a single reading should be treated lightly and a two-week run of readings taken the same way should not.
- Compare it against your own previous readings, not against anyone else's figure or a different device. The absolute number is the least useful part of it; the direction over weeks is the useful part.
- Nothing here diagnoses, monitors or assesses any health condition, and no reading should be used to change medication, treatment or diet without clinical advice.
- Weigh yourself at the same time each day, ideally first thing in the morning after the bathroom and before eating or drinking. The conditions matter as much as the device.
- Use it barefoot, on dry feet. The electrodes measure through contact with the soles of your feet, so socks, tights or damp feet will either stop the body fat reading or distort it.
- Step on and stand still until the reading settles. Do not shift your weight or look down at the display mid-measurement.
- Watch the trend, not the day. A single reading can move for a dozen reasons that have nothing to do with fat. Two weeks of readings taken the same way is what tells you something.
- Do not weigh yourself straight after exercise, a sauna, a hot bath or a large meal. All four change body water and therefore the body fat estimate.
- Use it on a hard, flat floor. Carpet and uneven tiles will distort the weight reading — this is a common cause of readings that seem wrong on any bathroom scale.
- Treat a change in body fat with more scepticism than a change in weight, because it is the derived figure of the two.
- Pair the scale with the app once and it will sync each reading automatically from then on — that is what turns a set of numbers into a line you can read.
- You do not need the app to weigh yourself. The scale reports weight on its own display; the app is what stores the history and shows the trend.
- Check the app is available for your phone before you rely on the tracking. If it does not suit your device, the scale still works as a scale — you simply keep your own record.
- Keep the charging cable somewhere you will find it. A rechargeable device with a lost cable is a dead device.
- Charge it before it goes completely flat where you can. Battery level on a measuring device is worth keeping up.
- Wipe the glass and the electrodes with a damp cloth. Do not use solvents, abrasive pads or a soaking wet cloth, and never pour water over the scale.
- Store it flat, not leaning against a wall or on its side, which can stress the sensors over time.
- Avoid dropping it and avoid standing on the edge. Load cells are the part that fails on a bathroom scale, and edge-loading is how it usually happens.
