Using a digital scale can be a great way to monitor weight change over time and help you keep track of fitness and health goals, but some scales can be more reliable and useful than others. So it's definitely worth investing in a scale that's been proven to be dependable and offers great bonus features.

Because yes, your bathroom scale can now offer more than just a simple weigh in. There are so many smart scale options on the market today. In addition to simply providing your weight, some of our top scale picks can also measure body mass index, body fat percentage, metabolic rate, and even bone and muscle mass. Several of our best digital bathroom scales also link up to smartphone apps that help you manage your weight loss goals.

But when buying a new bathroom scale, it's important to keep in mind that the number on the scale can change on a daily basis, due to a variety of factors. One weigh-in should not make or break your fitness and health journey. Instead, the best way to make your scale work for you is to use it regularly and consistently, in order to track your weight and accurately measure it against your own ebbs and flows. Owning a scale that gives you more intel offers a more well-rounded approach to your goals. (Just remember to always take readings on a flat, even surface to get the best measurements!)
