Fitness enthusiasts looking to get into shape this January can get 41% off the usual price of Amazon’s top smart scales if they snap them up quickly
Getting fit and losing weight are among the most popular New Year’s resolutions, and keeping track of your progress is key to staying accountable, celebrating your achievements, and motivating you to stick to your goals.
A set of smart scales that can measure your body composition is a fantastic investment if you’re working on your physique, and right now there’s a chance to snag a high-powered set at a bargain price.
The 11-inch black Renpho Smart Scale is currently priced at £17.05, down from its original price of £28.78. Once paired with the companion smartphone app, the Renpho scales provide data on 13 different body composition metrics each time you step on them.
These include body weight, body fat percentage, BMI, muscle mass, body water, and more. The scales automatically calibrate and feature four high-precision sensors for accurate readings.
The Renpho app can be synced with other fitness tracking apps like Google Fit, Samsung Health, Fitbit, and Apple Health among others. You can set goals within the app, and receive personalised insights based on your metrics, progress, and target areas. The app also allows for individual profiles so everyone in the household can use the scales without affecting anyone else’s readings, reports the Manchester Evening News.

“The scales are accurate, easy to use, and sync seamlessly with the app,” one five-star review praised. “The app is fantastic – it tracks everything from weight to other body metrics, making it easy to monitor progress over time. The Bluetooth connection is quick and reliable, and the data layout in the app is simple to follow.”
“Bought this after the ladies in my group recommended it,” another satisfied buyer commented.
“Love it. Works well, syncs well and the accompanying app is also wonderful. Good for measuring body composition as well.”
A third user enthused: “The motivation it gives me is incredible. I’m thankful to Renpho engineers for designing such an easy-to-use and truly ‘smart’ scale. The Renpho Health app interface is also incredibly beautiful, simple, and easy to use. The way it shows my weight loss over time in charts is unmatched.”
Some users are expressing doubts about the accuracy of the body composition readings from popular smart scales. “I do find some of the results contradictory and baffling, and I am sceptical of their accuracy,” commented a three-star reviewer.
They added: “The main measurements of weight, BMI and fat percentage seem about right, and to use those as an indicator of change and progress is absolutely fine. But, I’m dubious about the readings of muscle, protein and other components, though I suspect that applies to most smart scales.”
Another user remarked: “Agree entirely with so many of the other reviews – the weight metrics seem accurate but the other body insights are useless. My partner is a triathlete, super lean and muscular yet the scales claim she is obese and has high body fat! “.
For those weighing alternatives, the article mentions a Salter scale retailing at £19.99 at Currys, which delivers body composition data without requiring an app, and a Beurer set available at Robert Dyas for £41.99 promising similar features and a five-year guarantee.
