What you're actually getting

For the price, this is a lot of scale. Twelve measurements, including body fat percentage, BMI, muscle mass, bone density. It pairs with the eufy Health app over Bluetooth, which works fine once you've set it up. The setup itself takes maybe three minutes. Not fiddly at all.

The scale feels solid underfoot. Not premium, but not the wobbly plasticky thing you might expect at this price point. Glass top, four sensors, reads your weight in about two seconds. Consistent too. I stepped on it five times in a row one morning (as you do) and got the same reading each time.

Who it's actually for

If you're someone who just wants to track their weight over time without spending £40 on a Withings, this is spot on. It's also decent for anyone just getting into fitness tracking and not sure how committed they'll be. Low stakes, low spend.

It's probably not for serious athletes who care deeply about the accuracy of body fat readings. Those impedance-based measurements are notoriously approximate across the board, not just on this scale. Take them as rough indicators, not gospel.

One honest reservation

The app asks for quite a bit of personal data to personalise those 12 metrics. Nothing unusual for this category, but worth knowing. If you'd rather keep things simple, you can just use it as a regular scale and ignore the extras.

At this price, though? Proper good value. Hard to argue with.
