Decades ago, supermarkets and other retailers placed towering scales at the front of their stores because bathroom models were too expensive for most consumers. While the tradition of those behemoth scales continues thanks largely to an enduring sense of nostalgia, today’s digital scales are not only super affordable but can also provide a wide array of measurements our grandparents couldn’t have dreamed of. Here are a few digital scales that offer great features to help keep your weight goals on track.
Does It All
Don’t ask this smart scale “if you look fat” because the answer will be longer than the line at the DMV. This scale keeps track of your body weight, BMI, body fat percentage, water percentage, skeletal muscle, fat-free body weight, muscle mass, bone mass, protein, BMR, subcutaneous fat, visceral fat and metabolic age. It also syncs seamlessly with the most popular fitness apps for your phone. Frankly it does about everything a doctor can do short of asking you to “say ahhhhh.”

Solid Construction
If you’re looking for a reliable scale that covers all the basics, this is it. Etekcity’s super slim design means the scale can be easily stored in tight spaces. A set of precision sensors provide accurate measurements down to 0.2 pounds. An extra large platform and anti-skid pads provide safety, while the backlit LCD display gives you a result that’s easier to read.

Easy Connection
Finally there’s a scale the whole family can use. Arboleaf’s digital scale can store an unlimited number of user profiles and recognize the users the moment they step onto the scale’s platform. Each weigh-in sends data to the Arboleaf app, which displays the results as a clear trends graphic so that you can track your fitness journey.

Easy to Use
Sometimes you really don’t need all the gizmos and gadgets that today’s bathroom scales provide. If that’s the case, we recommend this impressive model by BalanceForm. The basic model still has the precision sensors for accurate measurements and the easy-to-read backlit display. A slightly advanced model also shows your previous weight.
