Top smart scales for 2026 and how to choose the right one

Smart scales can make tracking health easier by logging weight, body fat, muscle mass, water levels and syncing that data to your phone so you can see long-term trends. Different models target different users: some keep things simple and reliable, others pack many metrics and platform integrations, and high-end options offer advanced vascular and nerve-health measurements.

Leading picks from recent testing include Fitbit’s Aria Air — a polished, fast option with fewer features that leverages the Fitbit app — and Xiaomi’s Mi Body Composition Scale 2, which is inexpensive and accurate for basics but hampered by a laggy, poor companion app. Eufy’s Smart Scale P3 crams in metrics (weight, body fat, muscle mass, heart rate, bone mass, protein and calculated BMR) at an attractive price, but its app and profile handling lack polish; testers also note a past security caveat involving the brand’s parent company and its cameras.

Garmin’s Index S2 offers strong build quality and detailed readings for users already in Garmin’s ecosystem, though its color screen refresh rate can feel laggy. Withings’ Body Comp is a luxury choice with excellent app support and deeper health tracking — including arterial and nerve data — but runs on disposable batteries and costs more.

Other reliable options include Omron’s BCM-500 for a steady, no-frills clinical approach, and Withings’ Body Scan for the most advanced (and expensive) feature set, including segmented composition and ECG capabilities.
