The addition of a 4.3-inch color TFT screen makes the new Wyze Scale Ultra one of the brand’s most expensive smart scales to date, but at $43.99, it’s still considerably cheaper than offerings from companies like Withings. It’s available from Wyze directly or from Amazon in white or black.
The Wyze Scale Ultra says it can track 13 different health metrics, including your heart rate, your metabolic age (a comparison of how your body burns calories at rest to others your age), and measurements of fat, muscle, and water.
Previous versions of Wyze’s smart scales featured simple segmented LED displays to display basic information like weight, BMI, and muscle mass, leaving more detailed breakdowns of your health metrics for an accompanying mobile app. The Wyze Scale Ultra can display more data, including how measurements like weight or body fat have fluctuated over time, and it’s customizable, so it only displays what you want it to.

The information displayed on the Wyze Scale Ultra’s full color screen can be customized by each user.
Like the Wyze Scale X introduced in 2022, the Scale Ultra offers modes for easily weighing pets, babies, or luggage and a pregnancy mode that turns off the weak electrical current used for bioelectric impedance analysis (BIA) as an added safety precaution.

The Wyze Scale Ultra can also be used to weigh pets, children, and luggage.
Connectivity includes both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, and the Wyze Scale Ultra can automatically recognize and sync measured health metrics for up to eight different users — either to its mobile app or to the Apple Health, Google Fit, and Fitbit platforms. It’s not rechargeable, however. It runs on four AA batteries, which Wyze says will keep the scale powered for up to nine months.
