I tested a $20 smart scale against a $8,500 body composition machine – these were the surprising results

For a little over four months I’ve been using a Vitafit smart scale to keep track of my body weight. Buying one of the best smart scales is one of the easiest ways to monitor your weight and key metrics like body mass index (BMI), body fat, and more. It can give you insight into how many calories you should be eating a day to lose weight and can help track your progress over time.

I bought my Vitafit from Amazon for around $20, and I honestly wasn’t expecting much. I’ve been pleasantly surprised by its interface and features, but deep down I’ve always been resigned to the fact that it probably wasn’t all that accurate. The results are always consistent, so relative results are still helpful, but I wasn’t really under any illusion that it was a truly accurate scale.
