Summary

  • $79.98 Wyze Scale BodyScan went on sale Monday through Wyze and Amazon, bringing advanced body-composition tracking below the $80 mark.
  • The scale uses a built-in handle and conductive glass to measure 17 metrics beyond weight, including muscle mass, visceral fat, lean weight and segmented fat and muscle distribution.
  • A 4.7-inch LED display shows seven key readings without opening the app, while the device also adds baby, pet and luggage modes plus recognition for up to eight users.
  • Health Connect support lets Android users sync data with Google Health, while iPhone users get Apple Health integration and PDF health-report exports for longer-term tracking.
  • The launch positions BodyScan as a cheaper follow-up to Wyze's $120 Ultra BodyScan, trimming the price by about $40 while keeping most of the headline health features.
