If you just want to weigh yourself, you can use any old scale on the market. If you want to track your weight and get more detailed health stats, the Eufy BodySense Smart Scale is the way to go.
Eufy, another one of Anker’s sub-brands, produces the BodySense Smart Scale ($39). It pairs with your phone via Bluetooth to track and log all your weigh-ins.
On top of this, the app provides some in-depth stats that you don’t normally get from a regular scale. We’re hesitant to call it a necessary part of any fitness or weight loss regimen, but if you want some help keeping track of your weight, it’s a handy upgrade.Besides a Wonky Bluetooth Connection, Using the Scale Is Easy

Once your scale pairs and sends the data over, the experience gets a lot nicer. At the very top of the app, you’ll see your most recent weight.
Just below that is a chart that tracks your weight over time. If you do nothing else with the scale, this is already more useful than a regular scale. You can use anything from a fitness tracker to a notes app to keep track of your weight over time, but this handles all of that for you. Just remember to open the app when you weigh yourself and you’re good.The Real Value Is In All That Extra, Sweet Data
If all you wanted was a scale to track your weight, you can do that for half the price. The big reason to buy the Eufy smart scale is for all the extra data you get along with it. When you first set up your scale, you’ll asked to enter your…
