Reach Your Goals with the Best Bathroom Scale

Taking a unique approach to the monitoring of body fat percentage and BMI, the folks at Omron have designed a hand-held device that can easily detect each by just gripping it with both hands. The BF306 uses bioelectrical impedance technology; a common method that uses general information such as age, gender, body weight, and combines it with electrical resistance found in the extremities like hands or feet. In the case of this device, the hands are the thing; with a set of electrodes in the handles, users grip the monitor with both hands and an undetectable electrical current passes from one hand to the other via the arms and torso. In seconds, the device comes back with a reading that gives you body fat and BMI measurements. Set-up is simple and straightforward, just input your personal data: height, weight, gender, age and level of fitness and you're pretty much ready to get accurate readings. The device can even be used by multiple users, all with their own settings and information data.

The RENPHO Body Fat Scale gives a modern twist to the traditional bathroom scale. It is an advanced model that can calculate 13 key body composition metrics. It can report your body weight, water percent, BMI, muscle mass, skeletal muscle, protein, BMR, metabolic age, and body fat percent amongst other things. This bathroom scale not only provides you an overview of your body, it also keeps a record of your performance on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. Simply connect it with the RENPHO app to view the results within seconds. The app itself is quite user-friendly and also works with Apple watches and Samsung Health.

This scale has a maximum weight limit of 396 pounds. You can switch between kilograms and pounds as the measuring unit.

The EatSmart Precision GetFit Digital Body Fat Scale measures body fat percentage, total body water percentage, muscle mass, bone mass, and weight with the use of bioelectrical impedance. Just like the Omron monitor, this one uses a low-level electrical current to ascertain your readings, only this time the signal is sent through your body and out again via your bare feet. The unit has a capacity of up to 400 lbs. and can store personal health information for up to eight different users. Simply enter all of your pertinent vital statistics and the scale does the rest. Using the scale couldn't be easier, there's no need to tap to power it on or even choose your user setting; the scale does it all on its own with user-recognition software. Just step right up and the scale identifies who you are through your previous weight. It will then give you all your accurate readings on an oversized 3.5" backlit LCD display. The scale's touch-screen user interface makes it a breeze to understand and set-up and its slim design makes it perfect for use in any room you wish.

The Ozeri Touch Digital Bathroom Scale holds a capacity of up to 440 lbs and measures body fat, hydration levels, muscle mass, and bone mass. It does all of this through bioelectrical impedance and uses four highly-sensitive G sensors to determine your overall weight with accurate readings in 0.2 lb increments. Up to eight different users can store their information on the scale's internal memory and auto-recognition software can tell which of them is stepping onto the platform for their current readings, each one shown through illuminating icons that indicate body fat, hydration level, and so on. Just like the other scales on our list, this one requires no tapping before you step up on it and gives you results in seconds.

Just like the other scales on our list, the GW22027 measures overall weight, body fat, body hydration levels, muscle mass and bone density. Four precision calibrated sensors in the tempered glass platform have a weight capacity of up to 400 lbs. and the scale can store and track personal information for up to eight user profiles. This scale also has auto-recognition software to determine which of those users is stepping onto the platform without tapping or setting of profiles, except when two users have similar weights within six pounds. Then you have to tell the scale which user is being measured. Weight response is nearly instant with an additional four seconds needed to get the rest of your readings. An "athlete" mode option retrieves body fat percentages more accurately for users with higher muscle mass and low-rest heart rates.

Tanita's BF-680W works much the same way as the other scales on our list. A tiny electrical current is sent through the feet to determine body fat percentage and hydration levels of the body, and internal sensors can read your weight by just stepping onto the device. An instantaneous reading reveals how much you weigh, followed by the other percentage measurements. Two users may set profiles (considerably less than the other scales on our list that offer up to nine in some cases), and the BF-680W offers a similar "athlete mode" to detect a more accurate reading in people with increased muscle mass. The unit itself isn't as sleek or easily placed and stored as some of the other scales on our list, but if aesthetics or storage options aren't a concern for you then you won't mind the way this scale has been designed and constructed.

Able to store personal data for up to eight different users, the Precision Tracker gives you three readings every time you step up on it. The first is your current weight, the second is your weight change since your last weigh-in, and the third is the total progress you've made (or lack thereof) since the start.
