– Wyze launched a cheaper $79.98 version of its Ultra BodyScan smart scale, reducing the price by $40 from the original model.
– The new scale lacks Wi-Fi but can sync measurements to Apple Health and Google Fit via Bluetooth through the Wyze mobile app.
– It replaces the customizable LCD screen with a simpler 4.7-inch LED display to show health stats.
– The scale still includes a retractable tethered handle with four additional electrodes for detailed body composition metrics of legs, arms, and other areas.
– The original $119.98 Ultra BodyScan smart scale was introduced seven months prior.
Seven months after launching its premium $119.98 Ultra BodyScan smart scale, Wyze is rolling out a more affordable alternative. The new Wyze Scale BodyScan is priced at $79.98 and is available starting today. To cut $40 from the cost, Wyze made a few thoughtful trade-offs. For one, the scale ditches Wi-Fi connectivity in favor of syncing your measurements through Bluetooth to the Wyze mobile app. From there, you can push data to both Apple Health and Google Fit. The display has also been simplified: instead of a customizable LCD screen, you get a straightforward 4.7-inch LED display that shows your key health stats at a glance. However, the core feature that sets this scale apart remains intact. It still includes a retractable tethered handle equipped with four additional electrodes. This allows the scale to deliver a segmented body composition analysis, giving you a more detailed breakdown of health metrics for your legs, arms, and other body areas.
