Smart Scales

[Jesse Liberty 24]

I have ordered this scale: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07S7FWMC7?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details -- it is, in short, a smart scale with an app. I asked my Dr. and my nutritionist, who both thought it was a good idea. What is your experience with smart scales? What factors do you track and pay attention to?

Thanks!

Besides the obvious weight and BMI, I watch muscle mass, fat and BMR mostly.

I have it on good authority that scales lie. It must be true since I hear myself saying it all the time!

Smart scales just have more to lie about. Minimally more to obsess about.

Good luck,

Everything has an app now. Even my new electric toothbrush has blue tooth & can record how long I brushed, how hard I scrubbed, etc. I mean really?? Been cleaning my teeth without an issue for 57 years. Sorry. No help wth your question. Just being a bit cynical.

I’ve been using a smart scale for years and love it. I look primarily at weight and find it useful to look at change over time and this makes it easy.

This scale gives you that and a lot more. It seems dead-on reliable and the app is excellent.

I got a Wyze scale, shows the exact same weight as at my surgeon’s office. I think it’s .1 lb off, but it’s pretty spot on otherwise.
