These impressive smart scales calculate more values than any other on our list, measuring weight, BMI, body fat percentage, water, muscle percentage, bone percentage, BMR basal metabolic rate , visceral fat, lean body mass, body fat mass, muscle mass and bone mass.

And this wide range of values is all recorded and tracked in its easy-to-use app. It also connects to more fitness apps than other scales, including Google Fit, Apple Health and Fitbit, and can track measurements of up to 16 people. A great value for money option. This mechanical model catches your eye with its striking glass platform, which means you can see the mechanism of the scale as it works.

Its platform is the perfect size for those with bigger feet, and its large dial is easy to read. These scales are fast at calculating weight, taking 2. Its display is bright and easy to read, while its appearance is sleek and modern.

The Eufy smart scale has the best memory of any we tested. Unlike most smart scales, which simply send your measurements straight to an app, this scale can also store readings of 12 different values for up to 20 different people.

The Etekcity EBH performed nearly flawlessly, providing dozens of accurate and precise weights over the course of multiple weeks. It was the second-most accurate of the 11 scales we tested bested ever so slightly by our also-great pick, the Tanita HD The EBH not only instantaneously recognizes when you step on the scale with the addition or subtraction of a couple of ounces, but it also, out of dozens of measurements, gave the exact expected measurements every single time except for one instance, which was still within our 0.

Whenever we weighed ourselves in succession, the readings were always the same. This scale can accommodate weights of up to pounds, and it measures in either kilograms or pounds.

The Etekcity is also a completely silent scale—no beeps—and its slim and sleek black tempered-glass design is aesthetically pleasing and perfect for smaller spaces. Like most modern electronic scales, our pick is made of tempered glass, which can be slippery when wet. And, terrifyingly, some customers have reported that their scales have unexpectedly shattered. This seems to happen only rarely, though it did happen to one of our testers when they dropped it from a distance of around 3 feet while transporting the scale.

The Etekcity, like all bathroom scales, requires frequent calibration to remain useful, but some owners say that after a while, to get an accurate reading, they had to pop the batteries out and back in, and even then the scale sometimes still stopped working well. In our testing, the EatSmart Precision Plus was not as accurate or precise as the Etekcity, but it was among the most accurate and precise scales we tested, always within a 0.

Like our top pick, the Precision Plus requires frequent calibration and is made of tempered glass, which can be slippery and, according to some customer reviews, can shatter.

When it came to accuracy and precision, the Tanita HD could not be beat: Of the dozens of times we weighed ourselves with and without other objects, this scale gave a measurement that was inaccurate only once—and by just one-fifth of a pound.

It offers the same pound weight maximum as the EatSmart Precision Plus and has a similar extra-large platform. The Tanita HD also recalls the last weigh-in and has storage capacity for five different users. In order to use it, you have to toe-tap your designated tab, wait for the scale to calibrate and beep, and then get on and wait for the beep that signals the completion of the weigh-in. Then you can tap your preferred tab again, wait for the beep, again, and finally step back on.

The Tanita HD is a compact, accurate scale with a backlit display and a plastic platform. But we found that it slides around on the floor easily, presenting a potential safety hazard. Further, the HD can show the current and previous weight of up to five users, while the HD cannot. The EatSmart Precision CalPal scale we used to recommend did not perform as well in our testing as our new picks.

It was less accurate and less precise overall. None of the other Etekcity scales we considered performed as well as the EBH. The Taylor is another option with a non-glass platform from a trusted brand. It does not have a backlit display like our top pick, and it has a smaller capacity than all of our picks up to pounds.

If you need a scale that speaks your weight out loud and are okay with a few errant measurements, this is an adequate choice.

Keep these questions in mind as you sort through the options:. There are two main types: analog and digital. Analog scales use mechanical springs to measure weight, while digital scales rely on built-in sensors. A subset of the digital category is smart scales, whose Wi-Fi connectivity makes it possible to upload information to your smart phone or computer.

All things being equal, digital scales tend to be more accurate than analog ones. They can also measure more than just weight, everything from bone and muscle mass to hydration. With any scale, accuracy depends on proper usage. Always place the scale on a hard, flat surface bathroom floors are ideal. And when it comes to body composition measurements, don't rely too heavily on a scale at all: these metrics are often based in part on calculations, as opposed to body composition scans.
