The Scale runs on four AAA batteries, which are
included in the box. Some smart bathroom scales
feature a rechargeable battery, including the
QardioBase 2 and the Withings Body Cardio, but both
of those retail for $150.
The Scale connects to your phone via Bluetooth, not Wi-
Fi, as some pricier smart models do. Getting it
connected to your phone is simple. Download the Wyze
app (available for Android and iOS), click Add a
Product, select the Scale from the list, and follow the
instructions that appear. The Scale comes with a handy
quick-start guide explaining how to set it up.
When you add the Scale to the Wyze app, you need to

optionally enable Athlete mode. Wyze suggests enabling
Athlete mode if you work out more than 10 hours a
week and have a resting heart rate below 60bpm.
You then place the Scale on a hard surface and step on
it with bare feet. You’ll see your weight on the device
itself and in the app.
