Wyze Scale BodyScan Slashes Ultra-Style Tracking to $80

Wyze cut the price of segmental body composition tracking to $79.98 with the new Wyze Scale BodyScan, a cheaper smart scale aimed at buyers who want the handle-based readings from its pricier Ultra model without paying $119.98.

The Wyze Scale BodyScan is available today and drops Wi-Fi plus the Ultra’s customizable LCD screen to shave $40 off the price, according to The Verge. The trade is simple: less convenience and display polish, but the core body composition hardware stays.

Buyers get the Wyze Scale BodyScan handle feature for $79.98

The big feature is the retractable tethered handle. It adds four electrodes to the four electrodes in the base, giving the Wyze Scale BodyScan eight electrodes in total.

That matters because the handle lets the scale collect readings across the arms, legs, and torso, rather than relying only on foot contact. The base is covered with conductive glass, so users don’t have to place their feet on exact sensor spots for the scale to take measurements.

The question for buyers is direct: is the handle the part that made the Ultra model interesting?

For many, that will be the whole pitch. Wyze says the scale can track body weight, BMI, protein and water levels, bone mass, visceral and subcutaneous fat, and muscle mass. Its press release also says the device tracks 17 body composition metrics, with seven key metrics shown directly on the display.

“We want to redefine health tracking at home by making professional-grade tech accessible to everyone,” said Dave Crosby, Wyze Co-Founder. “While our premium scale has convenient features like a full-color screen and Wi-Fi accessibility, we knew there was still demand for a device that focused entirely on offering more data without the premium price tag. And that’s what we’ve delivered with the Scale BodyScan, an affordable way for anyone to accurately map their fitness progress at home.”

The handle is optional. Users can still stand on the scale without gripping it, but Wyze says using the handle unlocks more detailed segmental readings.

Wyze trims hardware for makers who care about price targets

Wyze’s cost cut is visible in two places: connectivity and the screen. The new Wyze Scale BodyScan drops Wi-Fi, so syncing to Apple Health and Google Fit happens by connecting to the Wyze mobile app over Bluetooth.

Does the $40 saving justify losing Wi-Fi? That depends on how often users expect data to sync without opening or connecting through an app.

The display also gets simpler. Instead of the Ultra BodyScan’s customizable LCD screen, the new model uses a 4.7-inch LED display to show health stats. Wyze’s announcement says the display can show weight, body fat, BMI, muscle mass, bone mass, body water, and protein.

For Wyze, this is a clean product segmentation move. The company kept the attention-grabbing body composition feature and cut the parts that make a connected device feel more automatic.

Users still get segmental data, but Bluetooth makes the phone flow matter

The Wyze app is not required to use the scale or track metrics and trends over time, according to The Verge. But the app becomes important if users want to sync data to Apple Health or Google Fit, or export a PDF report of body composition data to share with a doctor or personal trainer.

How smooth will that Bluetooth flow feel after a few weeks of weigh-ins? That’s the practical test.

Wyze says the Scale BodyScan can automatically recognize and track metrics for up to eight people. It can also take one-off measurements for an unlimited number of guests, which keeps guest data from interfering with a user’s personal trends.

For Apple users, this launch lands in the same broad zone of phone-centered health and app automation that XOOMAR has been tracking in iOS 27 AI Features Invade Your Everyday iPhone Apps. The scale’s value depends less on the glass slab itself and more on whether the readings move cleanly into the apps people already check.

That phone-first dependency also makes software design matter. As we noted in 5 iOS 27 Features Rescue Older iPhones From Clutter, small interface choices can decide whether a feature becomes habit or noise.

Smart scale rivals now face an $80 body composition pitch

The Wyze Scale BodyScan pressures the category by putting segmental body composition tracking under $80. The supplied sources describe a device that keeps the same handle-and-eight-electrode concept as Wyze’s higher-priced Ultra BodyScan, while cutting the premium extras.

Can rivals sell polish when Wyze is selling the core measurement pitch cheaper?

That’s the competitive question. Body composition scales often sell users on more than weight, but Wyze is pushing a sharper claim: the handle gives more targeted data on muscle and fat distribution across body areas.

The caution is accuracy in repeated use. The sources describe health, fitness, and body composition tracking, but they don’t provide independent test results for consistency across repeated weigh-ins. For buyers, trend quality matters more than a single impressive readout.

Key buyer checks:

• Syncing: Bluetooth uploads need to feel reliable enough to replace Wi-Fi convenience.
• Display: The 4.7-inch LED must show enough at a glance to reduce app friction.
• App reports: PDF exports are useful only if the data is easy to read and share.
• Recognition: Auto-tracking for eight users has to separate household data correctly.

Wyze’s market signal is clear: body data beats display polish

Wyze is betting that buyers will accept fewer connected-device luxuries if the scale still delivers the headline feature: segmental body composition readings from an eight-electrode system.

The next test is not the spec sheet. It’s daily behavior.

If Bluetooth syncing feels painless, the app presents segmental readings clearly, and repeated measurements show useful trends, the Wyze Scale BodyScan has a straightforward pitch at $79.98. If those parts feel fussy, the missing Wi-Fi and simpler screen will stand out fast.

Key Takeaways

• Wyze is making segmental body composition tracking cheaper by cutting the price to $79.98.
• Buyers still get the handle-based eight-electrode setup, which measures arms, legs, and torso.
• The lower price comes with tradeoffs, including no Wi-Fi and a less advanced display.
