In the early stages of your weight loss journey, looking at the numbers on a scale can be emotional. After weeks of staying consistent with your diet or work, it can get frustrating to see the needle (or numbers) barely moving.
Thankfully, these days, you don’t have to manually key in your weight after every weigh-in at the scale. With smart scales that can be synced to your iPhone and Apple Watch, they can automatically send your weight data to your Apple devices and its linked apps.
For basic weight tracking, there are plenty of smart scales for sale in the market today. For example, the Withings Body Wi-Fi Scale ($75) can automatically recognize up to eight users at a time and lets you see weight loss trends without seeing the actual number during weigh-ins.
Withings has its own line of smartwatches, so the Apple Watch isn’t the best suited for its features. However, you can view the information from the Withings app directly with your linked Apple Watch. Not only can it help you stay motivated, but it also lets you review your data on activity, sleep, weight, and blood pressure.
The Withings app is available for free on iOS, iPadOs, and WatchOS. To get the full benefits, you’ll need to give it Bluetooth access, fill out a short form, and integrate it with Apple Health.
