10 Best Digital Bathroom Scales to Help You Track Your Health Goals

The Etekcity 8-Electrode Body Composition Scale immediately feels like a step up from a typical smart scale. We liked its upscale appearance, substantial handle, and large 3.5-inch color display, which makes measurements easy to see without immediately reaching for your phone. It also registered our weight very quickly.

Beyond its polished hardware, the Etekcity is particularly well suited to households with several users. It supports unlimited profiles with automatic user recognition, and Wi-Fi connectivity allows measurements to sync to the VeSync app after initial setup without keeping your phone nearby. Guest Mode is another useful addition when someone wants to weigh themselves without creating a profile.

It uses sensors throughout the scale to measure your body in greater detail, providing more than 50 insights into body composition. We noticed our initial weight readings were a few pounds heavier than expected; however, subsequent measurements aligned with the other scales we evaluated. At $170, it packs a lot of advanced tracking features into a scale that looks and feels more premium than its price suggests.

This simple-to-use scale provides precise weight measurements on a large, easy-to-read display and performed well in Lab tests. “If you’re looking for a no-frills scale that will do a solid job measuring body weight, this one is worth a look, especially given the superb price,” said former GH Institute Chief Technologist Rachel Rothman.

When reviewing this model in the Tech & Engineering Lab, our pros loved its oversized platform and found the 3.6-inch by 2-inch LCD screen easy to see from a distance. We liked that it responds almost instantly—no need to tap and then step on. It also has the best weight range of our picks, with a 440-pound capacity. And with a sturdy build, it should last you ages.

This smart scale offers great value for the price. But just because it’s super affordable doesn’t mean it skips extra features like connectivity to the Renpho Health app, where you can track your weight (and 12 other stats).

At 11 inches long, the scale has a compact footprint, which makes it a great fit for cramped bathrooms and other small spaces. The red number display was easy to read from a distance. When we stepped on the scale, it woke up immediately. Our experts warn that the weight measurements were slightly different than more premium picks, though fluctuations were minimal.

Before you hop on this smart scale, you’ll first have to connect it to Wi-Fi and charge it via USB-C. Then step on the glass for your weight and 13 other measurements, which you can review in the VeSync app. Its bright, colorful display makes readings easy to see.

What's even better about this scale is that it'll recognize your profile just by stepping on it. It's priced higher than some others, but you'll also get features like a pregnancy mode you can access through the app and a baby mode for tracking kids' growth.

This scale was a top performer in Lab tests, providing accurate weight measurements compared to our calibrated Lab scale. Our pros did notice that it takes a few seconds to turn on and isn’t quite as responsive as other models we tested, but the easy-to-read color display makes up for it. We also love how easy it is to switch among profiles in the app.

Up to 16 people can store their own profiles on this smart scale, making it ideal for big families or college students living with many roommates. The scale instantly recognizes users when they step on it, and it can send personal data to their profile in Garmin’s app, Garmin Connect, via the scale’s built-in Wi-Fi. Once you step on it, it’ll provide tons of body analysis features, including measurements for weight, weight trend, body fat percentage, BMI, skeletal muscle mass, and more.

According to our Lab tests, this scale is highly accurate. One product analyst told us that she loved how easy it is to read the color display and she “really enjoys seeing extra info like the time, date, and weather forecast without having to open up the app.” Other testers, however, noted that they wish the scale turned on a bit faster.

Some of our product analysts have been using this smart scale for years and love it. It quickly connects to the FITINDEX app, where you can track up to 13 body-analysis measurements like weight, body fat ratio, muscle mass, and more. Its compact footprint also fits most small bathrooms.

We love that, for less than half the price of other premium scales, it offers great value and lets you store an unlimited number of profiles, making it a great choice for the family. We do wish the scale showed more than weight, as you need to access the app to see any body composition measurements.

The Renpho MorphoScan Nova stands out from other body composition scales for its voice guidance, which walks you through the measurement process and can be turned on or off. We found the prompts especially helpful as we got used to the scale’s retractable handle and positioned ourselves correctly for a full-body reading.

Eight electrodes and dual-frequency BIA measure five areas of the body and provide more than 50 metrics, including body fat, muscle mass, and visceral fat. Results sync to the Renpho Health app, where it’s much easier to dig into all that data and track changes over time.

There are a few compromises. The display is smaller than on some other premium body composition scales we tried, so you’ll likely spend more time looking at results in the app. We also found the retractable handle to be the flimsiest of the models we evaluated. Still, the voice guidance makes the Nova unusually approachable for such a data-heavy scale, especially if you want help getting through each measurement without constantly referring to your phone.

As digital scales have moved into body composition, the new BodyScan 2 from Withings has expanded its measurements even further by tracking over 60 biomarkers, with a focus on longevity.

We found the scale takes a bit of time to set up and update, but once it's up and running and synced to the Withings app, you get a full-featured health tracker that rivals what you’d find in a gym. Its retractable handle helps measure fat and muscle distribution across six areas of the body, while additional sensors track metrics such as visceral fat, vascular age, blood oxygen, and heart rate. It can even check your heart rhythm and alert you to signs of an irregular heartbeat.

You don’t have to run the full battery of measurements every morning. A customizable Daily Scan takes about 30 seconds, while the more comprehensive Longevity Scan is designed to be completed once a week and takes about two minutes. I also just use it to quickly check and track weight.

At $600, this is a major investment for a bathroom scale. But if you enjoy digging into health data and tracking changes over time, few scales offer this level of detail. Just remember that many of these measurements are better for tracking trends than for replacing advice or testing from your health care provider.
