Wyze is known for making pretty cheap products such as its $20 security cameras and its smartwatch that launched for $20 too last December. Now, it has announced yet another dirt cheap health product, the $15 Wyze Scale S smart scale.
The Wyze Scale S is a cheaper version of its already-affordable $20 Wyze Scale. The $5 cheaper price tag means there are tradeoffs such as the use of four exposed circular electrodes instead of full-glass surface electrodes. This means you have to step on the four electrodes to get a reading and not anywhere as is the case with the Wyze Scale.
Alongside measuring your weight, it can also measure bone mass, body water percentage, body mass, muscle mass, visceral fat, protein level, body fat %, basal metabolic rate, metabolic age, and BMI. Wyze says heart rate measurement is coming soon.
The Wyze Scale S has a 3.5-inch LED display that can display readings up to one decimal point. Save for your weight and body fat percentage, all other readings are displayed in the app. The smart scale can be used by up to 8 members of the family and it will automatically recognize each person. It also has a guest mode and a baby or pet mode for weighing infants and your pets.
Your health stats can also be synced with Apple Health, Google Fit, and Fitbit. Users can also share their data and trends with an unlimited number of people to keep them motivated or export their data into a spreadsheet for their doctor. The measurement range is 5 – 180 kilograms (11 – 400 lbs).
The Wyze Scale S connects via Bluetooth (BLE 5.0) and is compatible with Android devices running Android 7.0+ and Apple devices running iOS 12.0+. The scale is powered by three 1.5V AAA batteries that should provide up to 18 months of usage.
The Wyze Scale S is priced at $14.99 excluding shipping. It is available for pre-order on the Wyze website in white and black colorways and will begin shipping in November.
