Etekcity Smart Body Fat Scale
The Etekcity smart scale reads more than just weight — body fat, muscle mass, BMI and more sync straight to your phone every time you step on. It is rated above 4.5 stars by more than 325,000 Amazon buyers, and its listing notes Apple Health compatibility.
- FSA/HSA eligible — the listing qualifies for flexible spending and health savings account funds, per Amazon’s listing.
- Tempered glass platform with a TFT display that’s easier to read than the small LCD screens on cheaper scales.
- Syncs via Bluetooth to the free VeSync app, which logs trends over time instead of just a single number.

Who it suits — and who should skip it
This suits someone who wants to watch a weight and body-composition trend over months and have it logged automatically, without paying smart-scale flagship prices. It handles multiple users, syncs to a phone app over Bluetooth, and works for a household rather than one person.
Skip it if you want clinically accurate body-fat percentages. Every consumer scale in this price range estimates body composition by sending a small current through your feet, and that reading moves with hydration, time of day and even how recently you showered. Skip it too if you would rather not create an account in yet another app — the extra metrics live there, not on the display.
What buyers report most often
Recurring positives
- Rated above 4.5 stars by more than 325,000 buyers — on volume alone this is one of the most-owned smart scales sold. Check the current figure on Amazon.
- Weight readings are described as consistent and repeatable, which is the measurement that actually matters for tracking.
- Automatic sync and multi-user recognition, so a household is not writing numbers on a notepad.
Recurring complaints
- Body-fat and muscle percentages that jump between consecutive readings. This is the dominant complaint and it is inherent to the method, not a defect in this unit.
- Durability reports after roughly a year of use — usually the sensors or the display rather than the glass.
- The app requires an account, and some buyers object to that on principle.
What a bioimpedance scale can and cannot tell you
Treat the weight as a measurement and everything else as a trend line. Weigh yourself at the same time of day, in the same state — most people pick first thing in the morning — and read the seven-day average rather than today’s number. Used that way the body-fat figure is genuinely useful: it will not tell you that you are 21.4% body fat, but it will tell you reliably whether that number is moving up or down over eight weeks. Judged as an absolute measurement it will disappoint you, which is exactly what the negative reviews describe.
