If your old bathroom scales are simply gathering dust in the corner, and you\u2019re looking for a more detailed report, it may be time for an upgrade. Smart scales, or body fat scales as they\u2019re also called, can help provide a fuller insight into the breakdown of our bodies. Rather than just telling us our overall weight, smart scales can help us learn about our BMI, water percentage, muscle mass and heart rate so you get far more of a breakdown.<\/p>\n

Smart scales also allow for a more personalised experience thanks to the addition of apps and multi-user settings \u2013 hop on and view graphs of your weigh-ins over time, set yourself targets and make use of special pregnancy and athletic modes. So whether you\u2019re training for your first marathon and want to physically prepare, or just want an easier way to track weight changes over time, they\u2019re a useful and informative bathroom gadget<\/a> to have around.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve included a mix of brands and price points in our roundup, so you can find a smart scale to match your lifestyle and household\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n

A straightforward set of smart scales from the popular fitness brand Fitbit. Open your app, step on the scales for a weigh in, and let everything sync up. Once the data is collected, you can view your BMI and track changes over time through graphs on a dashboard.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve already got a Fitbit watch or fitness tracker you can keep all of your data together in one place which makes it nice and easy. Track your sleep and exercise on your watch, and sync with the data gathered by the smart scales for an overview. But even without a Fitbit watch, you can still view graphs and set goals through the app, so the extra products are by no means a necessity. We like the simplicity of the design \u2013 a sleek and glossy bathroom accessory \u2013 and it\u2019s on the more affordable end of the scale too.<\/p>\n
