Wyze’s new $ 15 smart scale has a mode for luggage, pets and babies

Wyze, the budget-driven tech company that now sells everything from security cameras to headphones, has launched a new smart scale with four built-in electrodes that can measure everything from body fat percentage to body water percentage. In addition to weighing humans, there’s also a dedicated mode for you to weigh your “baby, pet, luggage, or your child’s absurdly heavy backpack,” says Wyze. The S scale follows the original Wyze scale released last year, but it’s $ 5 cheaper with a price tag of just $ 15.

Weight is displayed on the integrated 3.5-inch LED display, while a companion app (of course) lets you set goals and track progress over time. It can sync data with Fitbit, Google Fit, and Apple Health and track data for up to eight different users. Battery life is rated at 18 months from the included AAA battery trio.

In total, Wyze says the Scale S is capable of measuring 11 body composition measurements, which broadly matches its original scale. These include weight, body fat percentage, lean body mass, BMI, muscle weight, visceral fat, basal metabolic rate, bone mass, metabolic age, protein and body water percentage. The Scale S will also eventually be able to track heart rate, says Wyze, although that feature will launch later.

Along with its scales, Wyze also announces a version of its Wyze Cam Outdoor with a Forest Camo skin made in collaboration with Dbrand. The camera now ships for $ 59.99, which translates to a premium of $ 10 over the standard outdoor security camera. The Wyze Scale S, meanwhile, is available for pre-order starting today and will ship in November.
