If you have a creaky set of bathroom scales you’ve been desperate to replace, this smart scale sale is just the thing you’ve been waiting for.
Aside from simply measuring bodyweight, smart scales read a range of things like BMI (Body Mass Index), bone density, muscle mass, water percentage, and BMR (basal metabolic rate the calories used when you’re active or resting). It’s like a smartwatch you’re able to stand on and receive real-time feedback on your health and fitness goals.
Some of these apps such as Withings Health and Fitbit Tracker can also share this data with fitness tracking services such as Apple Health, Samsung Fitness, Google Fit and MyFitnessPal. If you’re already using one of these services to log all your fitness data, then it’d be wise to look for a set of smart scales that’s compatible with your app of choice.
Can I use my fitness tracker with smart scales?
While fitness trackers cannot usually communicate with smart scales directly, they can sometimes be linked to the same app so all your data is in one place. Indeed, fitness trackers from Fitbit and Withings use the same apps as those brands’ respective smart scales. As such, if you already have a fitness tracker, it’s worth checking that it uses the same app as the smart scales you’re looking to buy.
