Arboleaf Body Scale CS20W

I purchased the Arboleaf Body Scale CS20W scale from Amazon as more of a fun purchase -- I got bored with the normal "here's your weight" scale I have. I also enjoyed, when going on cruises and the gym, stepping on the scales there they give all the read outs to your internals like visceral fat, water retention, muscle mass, etc. So I figured… Read more

why not upgrade my scale at home to one of these smarter scales?

I have to say, if scales could talk, this one would probably send me apology texts every morning. The Arboleaf Smart Scale isn't just a piece of bathroom decor — it's basically a tiny, judgmental robot that happens to take a lot of readings. With its bright LED show and fancy 14 metrics (weight, BMI, body fat, muscle, water, bone, and probably your Hogwarts house too), stepping on this feels like opening your health stats for a TED Talk.

What I like most about this scale is it shows the readings on the scale's actual display! Unlike a lot of other smart scales where you need to connect to an app to see the results, this scale has them display bright and crystal clear for you. Of course, you can track your readings and view the results over time as well.

The ColorZone Display on the scale is like a mood ring for your body: green means “you're killing it,” yellow means “we need to talk,” and red… well, that's when you start blaming the scale, not pizza. Those numbers sync effortlessly to your phone app, along with other information that can't be easily displayed. It's like the scale is saying “I've got you,” even if your willpower doesn't. There's even an option to turn on the scale's setting to beep at you, just to let you know it's done with your reading in case you aren't looking at the numbers.

Once the scale is synced to your phone and you see progress towards any goals you may have, the stats roll in like a motivational PowerPoint presentation. By week three, you'll be stalking your own data more than your ex's profile.

The scale runs on 3 AAA batteries. How long they will last, I can't say.

Bottom line: This scale doesn't just tell you what you weigh — it knows you. Other than the weight, I can't say or judge how accurate all the other readings are. Like any partner in life, how well do they really know you? :-) But since everything is relative, accurate or not, at least I can track progress of readings to keep on top of my health.
