Smart Scale X Digital Bathroom Scale for Body Weight and Fat (Black)

My plain, simple digital bathroom scale was over 20 years old. It did not have replaceable battery but the one it came with LASTED OVER 20 YEARS of moderate use by one person. When it finally gave out, against the warning on the back, I drool it apart and tried replacing the button battery with a new one (the same battery) but it didn’t bring the scale back to life.So I started searching for a new bathroom scale, which is way more difficult than I thought it would be! The brick-and-mortar stores around me had limited models and after checking their product reviews found all had a number of reviews saying they had quit working after a few months to a year.I even looked at a number of “best bathroom scales 2023” lists from general internet searches. Looking at the most frequently listed models on Amazon, thorough price/value evaluatiion (from reviews) led me to choose the Wyze Scale X, black version.It arrived in perfect condition and after reading the instructions, was easy to set up.I honestly did <not> want internet connectivity from a bathroom scale, but you don’t have to set up or use those functions for it to work correctly.It is sensitive to small changes (testing by weighing with/without clothes on) and though I have no other home bathroom scale to objectively compare values with, it does give me weight values that seem realistic and look correct AFAIK.It also will return a body fat composition score if you weigh in bare feet (as suggested) and stay on the scale after the initial weight is displayed, nbut I don’t care what the score is so I just get off once I get my weight. (I’m not a bodybuilder or health enthusiast to the point where a precise measurement of body fat means anything; who can’t already tell if they consider themself over-fat or not? I can. Lol)Size; large and heavy enough to feel secure when I get in and off.Easy of reading; great, an improvement over my old scale.The only downside I can found is that the glass-like surface shows dust and water spots easily. Maybe it is real glass, I’m not sure, but because the edges are exposed I try to be very careful to not hit it against anything hard when I move or clean it.I have started putting it in a bathroom cabinet , horizontally, when not in use. I think it can be stored vertically, which would save some space, but I suspect that might mess with the balance of the weight measuring components over time, idk.It was low/mid priced vs the competition, but I am too thrifty to consider it a disposable item that I’m willing to replace regularly, so I am trying to take good care of it if the care required is not too time/effort intensive.The battery is easily replaceable.And I am still thinking about how to get the 20 yr old scale operational again, in case this new one does crap out sooner than I’d like. There is one small board in it, connected to a few sensors under the outer deck. I scoured the internet looking for info on how to repair it, but the model is long discontinued and the entire product line has been sold to another mfg who doesn’t list it in their support area. I have engineers at my work that may be willing and able to diagnose and fix something, so that’s my next step when I get around to it.The obvious trend towards cheaper (in $ and in quality) components and finished products serves no one well IMHO and I do like to support good manufacturing when I find it.I hope the Wyze Scale X stands up to the test of time.(BTW, I am a buyer for a small US mechanical device manufacturer, and I understand that the cost of components and the finished goods are very important, but I am proud to say my company values reflect quality over cost and I’m glad they are so far successful despite the “race to the bottom” direction most competitors seem to choose. Go USA manufacturing!)

Dateline: A Tiled Room, Under the Unforgiving Glare of a Single Bulb. There is no greater moment of truth, no more savage and immediate confrontation with the consequences of your own life choices, than the moment you step onto a bathroom scale. It is a stark, numerical judgment. For years, this was a simple, analog affair—a twitching needle, a spinning dial, a single, damning number. But we live in a different age now. An age of data. An age of cold, hard metrics. An age of the Wyze Smart Scale.This is not a scale. This is a data-harvesting platform disguised as a sleek, minimalist slab of glass. It sits there on the floor, unassuming, almost benign. And it is cheap. So cheap, in fact, that it feels like a trick. For the price of a few sad, airport-bar cocktails, you get a device that promises to read not just your weight, but your very composition.The ritual is simple. You step on. The numbers on the bright, digital display dance for a moment, and then settle on your weight. But that’s just the opening act. The real show is happening behind the scenes. A tiny, imperceptible electrical current is taking a high-speed tour of your mortal form, gathering intelligence. A moment later, your phone buzzes. The dossier has arrived.You open the Wyze app, and there it is. A full-blown intelligence report on the state of your own flesh. Body fat percentage, muscle mass, bone density, BMI, a whole suite of brutally honest metrics that leave no room for self-delusion. It’s like having a tiny, scarily accurate lab technician living in your bathroom, sending you daily reports.And the app… the app is fantastic. It doesn't just give you the numbers; it charts them. It turns the savage, day-to-day fluctuations of your physical being into elegant, easy-to-read graphs. You can see the slow, grinding progress of a new fitness regimen or the immediate, catastrophic impact of a holiday weekend. It is a relentless, unflinching chronicler of your journey, a brutally honest historian for your own body.You’d think a device this connected, this… aware… would be a thirsty beast, constantly demanding new batteries. But it is not. The thing runs for what feels like an eternity on a single set of AAAs, a testament to some kind of low-energy voodoo that defies explanation. It just sits there, patiently waiting for its next data point, its next chance to tell you the unvarnished truth.The Wyze Smart Scale is a phenomenal piece of gear for an almost laughable price. It’s a reliable, frighteningly insightful, and absurdly affordable tool for anyone who has decided to stop lying to themselves. It’s a brutally honest friend who lives on your bathroom floor, and for those brave enough to listen, it has some very interesting stories to tell.

Easy to connect to via BT and the trends the scale displays are much better than my older scale.

I’ve been using my Wyze Scale almost every morning for several months now while on a serious recomp journey (losing fat while building muscle). Overall, I’m happy with it and would buy it again.What I love:• The weight readings are very consistent and accurate compared to other scales.• It’s super convenient — quick Bluetooth sync to the app, nice clean interface, and I love seeing my historical trends in one place.• The app is easy to use and motivational. I’ve dropped from ~195 lbs down to the low 180s while gaining muscle, and the scale has helped me stay accountable.• Features like visceral fat rating, BMR, and metabolic age give me extra data points that keep me engaged.The main downside: The body composition metrics (body fat %, muscle mass, visceral fat, etc.) are only okay for home use. When I compare them to professional InBody scans at Supplement Superstores, there’s noticeable variance — sometimes 1–3% difference in body fat and a few pounds on muscle mass. They’re useful for tracking directional trends over time, but I wouldn’t trust any single reading as 100% accurate.Bottom line:If you mainly want reliable daily weight tracking + helpful trend data at a great price, this scale is excellent. If you need lab-level accuracy on body fat and segmental muscle, you’ll still want occasional professional scans. For most people doing this at home, the Wyze Scale delivers strong value.Recommended for anyone serious about consistent tracking without spending hundreds on a pro device.

I hate to say this, but I’ve never been more disappointed in a product I’ve purchased from Wyze. I recently upgraded my home’s security network with Wyze cameras and wanted to find other ways to integrate into the Wyze ecosystem. When I saw they had smart scale options, and especially one with such great ratings, I ordered it right away.Fast forward to receipt of the unit - product was package nicely, setup was a breeze, and best of all, the app is loaded with great features and functions. Unfortunately, this scale is NOT accurate. Consistent, yes, but accurate, no. Read on for more details…First, most of the features these “Smart Scales” offer outside of weight are bogus, or at the very least, have no scientifically validated accuracy. Even so, a ballpark estimate would be nice for someone who works out. To give some context, I’m 5’10”, weigh 210lbs, and measure roughly 9% body fat on a DEXA scan. The instructions say to only use “Athlete Mode” if you’re 4-5% body fat. I’m sorry, but I would bet that less than 0.5% of the people that purchase this scale are TRULY 5% or less body fat. Either way, I tried it with athlete mode on and got a bf% reading of 26.1%. I tried again with athlete mode off and got a body fat of 29.7%. After reading other reviews and troubleshooting online, I tried resetting the scale, recalibrating, etc., and was still getting wonky results. However, due to all of the positive reviews and my desire to migrate more of my life into the Wyze ecosystem, I decided to give Wyze another shot and exchanged the scale for the same model through Amazon.The next day, the new scale arrived. I went through the same steps and got even more exaggerated results! 27.4% body fat with athlete mode on and 30.0% body fat with athlete mode off. I then compared both scales side by side on the same surface, and my weight was 0.6 lbs different on each, with the higher bf scale being 0.6lbs less on the weight measurement. It’s one thing for gimmicky metrics to be off, but it is unacceptable for the exact same scale models to have such a big weight discrepancy. Whether that’s due to bad equipment or poor QC, I’m not sure, but I have officially returned both Wyze scales.The extreme disappointment was ultimately my fault for getting my hopes up. Wyze does mention on their website that the scale weight is accurate to within 0.5%, which is technically true based on my body weight, but I’ve never experienced such a wide gap between 2 of the exact same scales, let alone 2 accurate scales from other brands. In the end, it looks like I’ll be sticking with Etekcity and Renpho for the foreseeable future, though I’m still holding out hope that one day Wyze will make a scale that can draw me back.

Really good scale, perfect weight calculations.Tip: I notice a lot of ppl with negative reviews because of battery life and I figure out the problem. One is the batteries these come with suck. Second is that the scale turns on each time you open your app to take a look at your stats. Simple fix, go to your scale then scale settings and toggle ON power saver Mode. That means that the scale won’t auto connect each time you open your app. It will only connect when you get on the scale.

just love this scale, easy to set up and so easy to read and good looking

Perfect. Exactly what I wanted. A high quality item at a reasonable cost.

Very affordable accurate scale with bluetooth capabilities!

The scales are extremey accurate and consistent. Excellent pairing with mobile phone. The scale is suitable for my size 12s. Nicely designed and a good screen. Easy to read screen and easy to use with phone. Of course, like all smart scales you can take most of the measurements using algorithms with a pinch of salt but I'm hoping some them can provide some insights into body changes. A mode for luggage weighing looks useful and will probably like the pet mode!

After the first use, the bluetooth quit (fault 1) and has not come back. I followed the troubleshooting instructions more than once. When I press the reset button, the screen should read CLR, but there is no response (fault 2). Without bluetooth, the scale does not transmit data to any health app. Furthermore, there are no readings for BMI, body fat, etc. (fault 3). So, I paid a lot of money for a scale that is not "smart" at all. And the nice people at Wyze can't do anything for me (fault 4) because the seller is not authorized (fault 5). Buyer beware, the scale is not worth the price unless it happens to work perfectly. If it does not you are out of luck.

Excelente. Fácil de usar y de configurar, aunque la app está un poco pesada porque puedes controlar un montón de cosas desde ahí (cámaras y sensores). Muy bonita resistente

Wyze Smart X Scale impresses with its solid build quality. The app seamlessly syncs, aiding in effortless weight tracking. The durable design adds reliability to its functionality, making it a practical choice for monitoring trends during weight-loss.
