Wyze's $79.98 BodyScan Undercuts Withings on Body Fat
Wyze's new BodyScan scale tracks body composition for under $80 and syncs to Google Health, but it drops Wi-Fi to hit the price.
Key Takeaways
- At $79.98, the BodyScan undercuts Wi-Fi rivals by syncing over Bluetooth to Apple Health and Google Health instead.
- Eight electrodes and a tethered handle break weight down into muscle, fat, and water across arms, legs, and torso.
- The $40 saving versus the Ultra comes from cutting Wi-Fi and swapping the LCD screen for a simpler LED display.
Wyze launched a new body-composition smart scale on Monday (June 22) that tracks far more than weight while staying under $80. The Wyze Scale BodyScan lands at $79.98, positioning it as a budget rival to pricier connected scales.
According to The Verge, the BodyScan arrives seven months after Wyze introduced its $119.98 Ultra BodyScan. The new model shaves $40 off that price by making a few deliberate compromises.
The biggest cut is connectivity. The Verge reports there is no Wi-Fi, so measurements sync to Apple Health and Google Fit only after you connect over Bluetooth in the Wyze app.
The display also gets simpler. The Verge notes Wyze swapped the Ultra's customizable LCD screen for a 4.7-inch LED panel that shows your stats.
What survives the cost-cutting is the feature that defines this product. The Verge reports the scale keeps a retractable tethered handle carrying four extra electrodes for a detailed limb-by-limb breakdown.
That handle works alongside four more electrodes in the base. According to The Verge, the base uses a conductive glass surface, so you do not have to place your feet in exact spots for accurate readings.
The eight-electrode setup is what lets the scale go beyond a single number. The Verge reports it can map how muscle and fat distribute across your legs, arms, and torso.
9to5Google reports the scale measures 17 metrics in total. That list spans body fat, muscle mass, body water, protein, bone mass, visceral fat, basal metabolism, and segmented muscle readings.
The Google Health hook matters most for the budget angle. 9to5Google reports the BodyScan integrates with Google Health through Health Connect, alongside Apple Health support for iOS users.
That positions it as a cheaper alternative for buyers who want body-composition data inside the same ecosystem feeding their phone and watch. Readers tracking the platform itself can follow our coverage of the latest Google Health 5.02 update.
On accuracy, the claims come straight from Wyze rather than independent testing. 9to5Google quotes Wyze describing the conductive glass as giving highly accurate measurements no matter where users step.
The same caveat applies to the metrics list. 9to5Google reports Wyze says the scale measures all 17 readings with high accuracy, though that language is the company's own marketing.
The app stays optional for daily use. The Verge reports you can read stats on the LED display without a phone, but the app exports a PDF report to share with a doctor or trainer.
Wyze also leans on convenience features. According to The Verge, the scale recognizes up to eight people automatically and takes one-off readings for unlimited guests.
For shoppers, the pitch is clear. 9to5Google reports the BodyScan is available today at Wyze's website and on Amazon, offering limb-level data at a price that undercuts many connected scales.
