The Etekcity HR Smart Fitness Scale is a mid-priced bioimpedance scale whose selling point is how much it puts on the glass. PCMag and Tech Advisor both rated it 4.5 out of 5, praising the customisable colour screen, the 400 lb capacity and a rechargeable battery in place of coin cells. The limits are the ones bioimpedance always has, readings that drift with hydration and stance, plus an app that packs a lot into a small space. Buyers who want detail beyond weight are the fit.
- — Measures multiple health metrics including weight, BMI, body fat percentage, muscle mass, and water percentage
- — Syncs data seamlessly with smartphone apps via Bluetooth connectivity
- — App syncing can be inconsistent and occasionally drops connection
- — Rechargeable battery is reported to give short runtimes between charges
