Best Overall Smart Scale
Withings Body Scan Scale
If you want the epitome of data insights when it comes to your personal health, no other smart scale does it better than the OG—Withings and its Body Scan smart scale. If you want the ability to track more metrics than you know what to do with, then this is the scale for you and our clear winner for best overall smart scale.
The Rolls Royce of scales, this premium pick dives way deeper than most. One of our favorite features is the ECG reading. An extremely viable reading as 48% of Americans will develop heart disease. Getting preventively ahead could save your life.
Beyond the ECG, it shines in terms of reliability and accuracy, with weight readings being accurate to 50 grams thanks to four weight sensors—a 0.05% variance for a 200-pound individual, and an accuracy of around 3-5% for body fat percentage. Add in one of the most stylish designs and you have yourself a total package. Plus, it syncs seamlessly with apps like Apple Health and Google Fit. Yes, the price is an investment, but as they say, health is wealth, so invest in yourself.

Renpho Smart Scale
When you hear smart tech, like most of us, the first thing that may pop into your head is a multi-hundred price tag. Luckily, that is not the case here. Renpho’s smart scale has more than enough of the features the majority of users will be looking to track. You may be thinking, yeah right, for something this affordable, does it only have the barebones?
Well for starters, it syncs with universal health apps like Apple Health, Samsung Health, MyFitnessPal, and Fitbit. From there, it helps you monitor 13 different metrics including weight, body composition and BMI, muscle mass, body water, visceral fat, skeletal muscle, and bone mass, just a name a few. Did we mention it’s less than $25?

Best Celebrity-Endorsed Scale
HumeHealth The Body Pod Smart Scale
Now 34% Off
Credit: RetailerWant the scale the biggest podcaster in the world, Joe Rogan, uses? If that doesn’t sell you, how about the Kardashians? Well if either of those celebrity-endorsements don’t convince you, we’ll just let the scale do the talking for itself, thanks to the 17 different metrics it helps you track and analyze. Another higher-end option for those who truly want to dive deep into all the metrics possible, The Body Pod scale screams precision with its 98% accuracy vs. DEXA scans (what doctors use).
Another excellent feature is the segmental fat analysis, which allows you to see where different sections of your body (torso, arms, legs) hold more fat than others, giving you a clearer picture of your body composition. What we truly love about this scale is its integration into popular wearables like the Apple Watch, Oura Ring, and FitBit.

Best Scale for Garmin Users
Garmin Index S2 Smart Scale
With such a loyal following and a gamut of industry-leading tech, we would be remised if we didn’t include Garmin’s smart scale on our list. As with all things the brand produces, the Index S2 scale delivers an option that’s aesthetically sleek and provides fairly standard insight into your health metrics. But what truly sets this one apart is the connectivity to the Garmin community.
If you already own and use Garmin devices, the Index S2 syncs with the Garmin Connect app, allowing you access to all your health, sleep, and activity stats in one place. This gives you detailed insights and trends, helping you track your progress, set goals, and workout plans—although it only tracks six metrics. Through the Garmin network, you can share your stats with friends and family, and offer encouragement along the way through this social community is what truly makes your goals achievable.
