15 best bathroom scales to track fitness progress (2024)

It is on the pricier side, yes, but this slick scale is brimming with techy features to help you keep detailed track of your health and fitness. The bright, easy-to-read screen reveals tonnes of stats – weight, body fat, heart rate, muscle mass and vascular age – along with a graph showing your previous readings so you can monitor your progress without having to check the Health Mate app.

On that note, our tester was thoroughly impressed with the app, saying it was a doddle to set up and use. It provides yet more data for a comprehensive overview of your health and is rammed with tips and tricks to get the most of the device.

Other standout features? The scale automatically recognises up to eight users, the sturdy platform is suitable for all foot sizes, and we found it measured our weight with expert accuracy, scoring top marks on test. The aesthetically pleasing design will look the business on your bathroom floor, too.

Another affordable option, this neat, slimline scale from the tech experts at Huawei punches above its price tag. Not only did it earn top marks for weight accuracy (it recorded consistent readings for our expert tester), the large platform felt stable beneath our feet and our metrics – weight, body fat percentage and heart rate – were displayed in large numbers on its well-lit screen.

The scale syncs to the Huawei Health app, where additional data such as bone mineral content, fat-free muscle and metabolic rate is presented on clear, easy-to-understand graphs. Within the app, you can also set goals and monitor your progress over time.

It can track the health of up to 10 people and automatically recognises different users, so it’s great for the entire household. We would have appreciated a more in-depth user guide as the set-up process was a tad confusing. Still, the device worked well once up and running and for the price, you really can’t go wrong.

Key specifications

Sometimes, simple is best, because what our winning digital scales lack in smart features, they make up for in speedy accuracy.

Our tester’s weight reading flashed up in just 1.43 seconds and they found the large, bright display clear to read in all lights.

The stable platform on these bathroom scales can withstand weight up to 200kg and fit feet up to a size 12. Our only tip is to store it away when not in use, as nearby movement powers it on and drains its battery life.

New and soon-to-be mums, these smart bathroom scales have been specially designed for you. The pregnancy mode features a maternity scale that's tailored to pregnant women wanting to track their baby's growth.

They can read 17 health metrics, from hydration to muscle mass, and repeatedly gave our tester accurate weight and body fat readings.

Want to understand your health and body better without spending over the odds? Look to this fuss-free model from Renpho – trust us, it’s a total steal for under £40. The large digital screen is clear to read and displays your key measurements including weight (obviously), BMI and body fat percentage.

You have to refer to the accompanying app to see in-depth stats including visceral fat levels, body water percentage and metabolic age, but it was très user-friendly, scoring full marks for functionality.

Technophobes, panic not, there’s a handy step-by-step to help you get to grips with the device and it was a breeze to set up profiles and sync to apps such as Apple Health and FitBit. It earned bonus points for its dedicated ‘athletic mode’, which uses different calculations to account for variables like higher muscle mass, hydration levels and bone density.

The compact, modern design will look stylish and discrete in any bathroom – just note that it’s super lightweight and its surface area isn’t the largest, so it’s not for those with unsteady footing or feet larger than a size 11.

Our tester found it accurate, although only weight is shown on the display, with the other stats accessible through the FitTrack app.

Though straightforward to set up for up to eight people, the app's busy interface felt overwhelming at first. Still, it offered helpful detail on each metric, with data appearing in a rapid nine seconds.

Just one word of warning: feet bigger than a size seven will protrude from the platform.
