Withings Body Smart
“The smart scale that turns daily weigh-ins into a coaching tool”
Head-to-Head Breakdown
Strengths & Weaknesses
Withings Body Smart
- Tom's Guide Best Overall: gathers more data than most scales and the Health Mate app is exceptionally easy to navigate
- Large tempered-glass platform with a 2.8-inch color display; Live Science flagged it as ideal for large feet or balance issues
- Wi-Fi plus Bluetooth sync, eight user profiles, and athlete, pregnancy, baby and eyes-closed modes
- Tom's Guide notes the Health Improvement and Body scores sit behind a $99/year subscription
- Live Science measured readings that drifted from professional gym scales in some sessions
- At about $130 it costs more than three times the value pick
Wyze Scale X
- TechGearLab Editors' Choice for accuracy: consistent readings regardless of where you step on the surface
- PCMag notes it nails the basics for far less, tracking 13 metrics with baby, pet, luggage and pregnancy modes
- 22-month battery life and an ITO coating that Tom's Guide credits for improved accuracy
- No Wi-Fi: Tom's Guide and PCMag both note Bluetooth-only sync and a thin app experience
- Live Science found the LED display hard to read and body-fat readings off the mark
- Heart rate is measured through the phone camera rather than the scale itself
The Verdict
Our Bottom Line
The Withings Body Smart earns Best Overall because it pairs trustworthy hardware with the best companion software in the category. Tom's Guide named it Best Overall in its hands-on roundup, noting that it gathers more data than most scales while keeping the Health Mate app exceptionally easy to navigate. That app is the real differentiator. Withings has refined connected-health tracking longer than anyone here, and the result is a weigh-in that turns into a clear, readable trend rather than a wall of numbers.

- Households that want one scale for multiple people
- Anyone who values a polished app and long-term trend tracking
- Buyers who want a large, stable platform and color display
- People who trust an established connected-health brand
Wyze Scale X
The Wyze Scale X is the rare budget pick that wins on merit rather than just price. TechGearLab made it the Editors' Choice in a lab test that weighted accuracy at 40 percent, reporting consistent readings no matter where you stepped on the surface. Three more publications, Tom's Guide, PCMag and Live Science, independently named it their budget pick. When four separate testers reach for the same sub-$40 scale, that is a strong signal.
- Budget shoppers who still want accurate readings
- First-time smart-scale buyers testing the waters
- Anyone who only needs Bluetooth sync to their phone
- Households wanting baby, pet and luggage weighing modes
