For just $ 20, the Wyze scale not only measures weight, it also measures body fat, BMI, heart rate, and more.
Wyze
Friends, let’s not rule the bathroom scales. Do we have to define our self-worth by a number at our feet? Shall we ruin our days when we discover we’ve gained a pound? No, I’m telling you. No! Throw your scales into the river and stop looking at them!
Wait a second … Scale deal! The The new Wyze scale has just arrived and costs $ 19.99. Shipping and sales tax may bring your total closer to $ 30, but that’s still extremely good deal on a surprisingly good smart scale. Many others cost significantly more.

I also think it’s good that up to eight users are supported. However, this means that everyone in your family needs a phone, the Wyze app, and a Wyze account.
It can now be integrated with Apple Health and Google Fit. Support from Fitbit and Samsung Health is in progress.
The only real downside I can see is IPX3 water resistance, which means you shouldn’t step out of the shower and step on it directly. Anything other than a light splash could cause problems.
But for $ 20? When some smart scales sell for $ 100 to $ 150? It would be difficult for you to find such a stupid “stupid” scale.
