Wyze Smart Scale X – FSA/HSA Eligible – Digital Bathroom Scale for Body Weight, BMI, Body Fat, Muscle Mass, Heart Rate Monitor | ITO Glass & LED Backlight | Batteries Included, 400 lbs (White)

Good scale, reasonable cost, should last; but glass-like surface gets dirty easily
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 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!)

Modern Accuracy
Easy to connect to the app, seems accurate. Just wish there was a version that wasn’t glass. Always afraid it will break because my last one cracked. It wasn’t this brand, to be clear. It looks nice and unobtrusive in the bathroom, will blend with any decor. Price was reasonable.

Nice, simple digital scale
Works well, need your smart phone to use it

Easy to set-up
Easy set-up and I love being able to track my progress on my mobile device.

I purchased this scale because my old digital scale did this thing where if you gained or lost less than a pound (roughly) the scale wouldn’t register it. For example, you’re 170lbs and you take off your jeans and weigh yourself again and you’re still 170lbs. I figured out, after reading a review article on scales, that this is something some manufacturers do on purpose. I’m not sure I understand the logic behind it and personally I prefer accuracy. This Wyze scale is accurate to within 0.2 pounds. If you weigh yourself before going to the bathroom and after going to the bathroom you will be a different weight (my old scale wouldn’t register a change like that). So I am quite happy with this new scale. It also looks really nice. I have white porcelain tiles in my bathroom and the scale is white so it blends in nicely and kind of looks futuristic. Also, the screen lights up when you stand on it so that you can weigh when it’s a bit dark and still see the number. Another feature is that you don’t have to tare it each time. My old scale you’d have to tap it with your foot to turn it on, wait for it to show “0.0” then weigh yourself. With the Wyze you can just stand on it and the weight will fluctuate for a second or two and then find your weight. And it uses a regular AAA battery instead of those little CR2032 button batteries.Personally, I don’t use any of the “smart scale” features. I doubt they provide any kind of meaningful data to-be-honest. But I am still rating this scale 5 stars as it does everything I want it to, looks nice and is priced nicely.

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.
