How Does The RENPHO Smart Scale Work? How Are They Different From Each Other?

While tracking your weight and integrating that data into your burgeoning collection of activity and workout information, typically you can manually add weight readings to most fitness tracking apps. However, if you want a faster way to store your data, you may need to check out the RENPHO Bluetooth Smart Scale. This scale will automatically track your weight, along with other data—such as your body fat percentage, BMI, muscle mass, and more—in the RENPHO app.

How Does the RENPHO Smart Scales Work?

The RENPHO smart scales check your weight, and your entire family can use them—the smart scales can store data for up to eight users. The scale records and sends the users information to the company’s server over your Wi-Fi network. You can then track your weight and other data, using the iOS/Android compatible RENPHO app.

All RENPHO Bluetooth Smart Scales measures your body composition by sending a low electrical current up through one foot and reading the current with a sensor beneath the other foot. The current passes through body fat more slowly and therefore the scale calculates the amount of resistance to come back up with the body composition.

Which scale is right for you?

Choosing one, among these scales, depends on how you intend to use it.

You simply wish to record your weight: All our scales are good enough to record your weight, at least to stay on track of its trend. However, if all you would like to do is see your weight, save your money and get a scale that doesn’t calculate your body composition and doesn’t synchronize via Bluetooth. Smart scales such as our price at $25.

You’re wedded to the Apple Health/Fitbit/Samsung Health/Google Fit ecosystem: If you are already employing a fitness tracker or alternative device, then you are more likely to need a scale that works best with that device, and whose data shows up within the same app.

Using the RENPHO app along with these health apps has its perks. The Fitbit app offers a lot of options, such as the flexibility to record the food you eat and calculate calories supported, activity, and meals. The RENPHO app can transfer the calculated weight reading to apps, such as Fitbit so that you can view your health data in one app.

Remember, you can manually add weight readings from any scale to either the Fitbit, RENPHO, or Apple apps. The real advantage of the RENPHO smart scale is convenience; you are paying additional to save the step of manually entering information. If you are willing to pay more for that ease-of-use, then our smart scales work well.
