Other Smart Scales

Renpho MorphoScan for $150: The Renpho MorphoScan full-body scanner looks amazingly akin to the Runstar FG2015, including a near-identical show attached to the handlebars. Well, spoiler alert, they are fundamentally the aforesaid scale. They adjacent usage the aforesaid app to cod information (and you tin adjacent usage some scales simultaneously with it). The lone crushed this standard isn’t our apical prime for the class is that it’s $15 much expensive. You tin remainder assured that a terms warfare is looming.

Arboleaf Body Fat Scale CS20W for $40: This affordable Bluetooth standard isn’t the astir eye-catching I’ve tested, owing to its big, metallic electrodes and an oversized show that comes crossed arsenic a spot garish. While value is casual to marque out, the six further statistic showcased are hard to read, each displayed simultaneously. I similar the Arboleaf app amended than the scale, wherever 5 much metrics tin beryllium recovered successful summation to the 7 above, each featuring a adjuvant mentation erstwhile tapping connected it. It’s a coagulated woody astatine this price, but the upsell to get an “intelligent mentation report” for an other $40 per twelvemonth is astir apt harmless to skip.

Hume Health Body Pod for $183: Hume Health’s Body Pod, different full-body scanner with handles, is heavy advertised—at slightest to the apps connected my phone—and touted (by Hume) arsenic the Next Big Thing successful the satellite of assemblage management. While the app is so glossy and inviting, I was shocked to observe however flimsy the hardware felt, that it lacked Wi-Fi, and that immoderate features are locked down a $100-a-year Hume Plus subscription plan. It works good enough, but you tin get results that are conscionable arsenic bully with a cheaper device.

A telephone moving the Garmin Connect app (Android, iOS) is handy, truthful you tin support way of everything implicit time.

It tin beryllium hard to work the statement for each of the information points, successful portion due to the fact that the LCD isn’t backlit, but the app is somewhat easier to follow, offering front-page graphs of weight, skeletal muscle, and assemblage fat. On the different hand, the presumption is alternatively clinical, and the app is amazingly dilatory to sync. For a standard without a Wi-Fi connection, it’s alternatively costly too.
