Wyze is expanding screen-equipped smart scales with the Scale Ultra BodyScan Plus, allowing users to review detailed body composition measurements without opening a smartphone app. Unlike its predecessor, the device features a color display built into the handle, presenting muscle and fat estimates for individual body regions alongside personal progress trends.
The scale uses eight electrodes and dual-frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis, which estimates body composition through electrical signals. Its 4.3-inch screen displays results from more than 50 tracked metrics, while Wi-Fi connectivity enables automatic syncing. Users can also access measurements offline without paying subscription fees.
Priced at $149.99, the device positions Wyze as an accessible option within the connected wellness market. Its combination of detailed tracking, independent operation, and subscription-free access could appeal to consumers seeking convenient health monitoring without additional ongoing expenses.
