Here's our list of the best smart scales and body analyzers to buy in 2016

Best Smart Scale #1: QardioBase

The QardioBase is dedicated not only to getting accurate weight readings but also analyzing your entire body. This device finally clarifies your weight gain or loss. Are you burning fat or gaining muscle? Are you actually losing weight or are you just losing water? The QardioBase will let you know and give you an indicative smile while doing so. You can also use the app to set goals and track progress with easily readable charts and graphs. This scale will know you so well that it will be able to recognize you despite use by other members of the same household. With smart feedback in addition to traditional modes, your body is finally much more than a number.

Best Smart Scale #2: Withings Body Cardio

The second scale on our list uses cutting-edge technology to give users the knowledge they need to live happier and healthier lives. The Body Cardio brings a vital new heart health metric, standing heart rate plus pulse wave velocity, to the table so that you can keep tabs on your own cardiovascular health and have the information you need to make conscious improvements. With the help of the Health Mate app you can now view your weight, BMI plus body fat, water percentage, muscle mass, and bone mass on your smart phone. The app also has its own smart capabilities. Once you weigh-in and the app receives a pulse wave velocity reading, the app takes your age into account and informs you as to whether or not the reading was optimal or not and provides you with tips on how to improve your health. You may also set your own weight goals and receive corresponding coaching. Bonus scale features include local weather forecast and a step tracker when paired with a Withings activity tracker or the app’s built in tracker. Finally, this scale can recognize up to 8 separate users automatically, making it a healthy investment for every member of the family.

It will also alert you when you’ve been inactive too long and syncs with UA Record for real-time data. The UA Heart Rate is a heart rate monitor designed to give you the most accurate heart rate reading possible during even your toughest and sweatiest workouts. Besides basic heart rate, this monitor can also calculate the intensity of your workout and the calories burned.
