When you hear smart tech, like most of us, the first thing that may pop into your head is a multi-hundred price tag. Luckily, that is not the case here. RENPHO’s smart scale has more than enough of the features the majority of users will be looking to track. You may be thinking, yeah right, for something this affordable, does it only have the barebones?

From there, it helps you monitor 13 different metrics including weight, body composition and BMI, muscle mass, body water, visceral fat, skeletal muscle, and bone mass, just a name a few. Did we mention it’s less than $25?

Want the scale the biggest podcaster in the world, Joe Rogan, uses? If that doesn’t sell you, how about the Kardashians? Well if either of those reasons don’t convince you, we’ll just let the scale do the talking for itself, thanks to the 17 different metrics it helps you track and analyze. Another higher-end option for those who truly want to deep dive into all the metrics possible, The Body Pod scale screams precision with its 98% accuracy vs. DEXA scans (what doctors use).
Another excellent feature is the segmental fat analysis, which allows you to see where different sections of your body (torso, arms, legs) hold more fat than others giving you a clearer picture of your body. What we truly love about this scale is its integration into popular wearables like the Apple Watch, Oura Ring, and FitBit.
