Smart scales can help you measure and track your body weight, body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage, muscle mass, and more. While standard scales typically only display weight on their screen, the best smart scales often wirelessly connect to your smartphone via compatible apps. These apps can record data from multiple users over time, and even help you track your health goals. To find the best smart scales on the market, we sought input from experts on what to look for and how to effectively use the scales. Then, we tested 20 top-rated options in both the Verywell Testing Lab and our homes for over a month. We evaluated each scale's setup, precision, data storage, display, ease of use, and value. We also had a registered dietitian nutritionistand certified personal trainerfrom our Review Board review this article for accuracysurrounding what to look for in smart scales and how to properly use one. A significant advantage of smart scales is their ability to create a digital, long-term health history by storing your data in a user profile. Compared to the traditional “dial” scale, smart scales tend to be more accurate for routine weight management, says Katie Rosenfeld, DO, weight loss clinic physician with DuPage Medical Group Obesity Medicine. It's important to note, however, that the body fat percentage displayed on smart scales is an estimate and will not be as precise as measurements you would get with a specialized test at a doctor's office, says Fatima Cody Stanford, MD,obesity medicine physician scientist at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School and a member of President Biden’s Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee.

These scales didn't quite make the cut, although they do have some notable features. To find the best smart scales, we've spent over a month testing 20 smart scales in The Verywell Testing Lab and at home. During testing, we evaluate each smart scale based on the following criteria: We consulted with experts at every stage while researching and reporting this story. Some, like Stanford and Vladimir Karpukhin, helped us understand how smart scales work and what kind of measurements they can provide. Others, like Rosenfeld, explained whether smart scales can be accurate. While we choose products independently, input from experts influences our decisions. Smart scales tend to be accurate for measuring weight and BMI. That said, there tends to be more variability when looking at other measurements, such as body fat percentage and bone mass, according to Rosenfeld. Smart scales calculate an estimated body fat percentage using bioelectrical impedance. Sensors in the scale send an undetectable electric current from one foot through your body to the other foot. The slower the current, the higher the percentage of fat in your body. Smart scales measure bone density through a DEXA scan (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry). Bones are poor conductors of electricity compared to other body tissues, so electrical current resistance allows smart scales to calculate bone mass, notes Vladimir Karpukhin, a diagnostic medical sonographer. Every smart scale has different reset instructions—it can be as simple as pushing a button or more complicated, like removing the batteries. Refer to your smart scale's manual for specific directions. Michelle Parente is an experienced fitness writer who is passionate about making great product recommendations.
