FitTrack Scale Review: The Best Home Smart Scale Available?

A smart scale measures your body weight, body fat, BMI and more, and then syncs this data with your smartphone via Bluetooth so you can track your body weight, fat and other composition metrics on a daily basis via an app.

The FitTrack Scale has been proven by independent research to track these metrics within 3% of the accuracy of a DEXA scanner, making it quite possibly the best smart scale available today for in-home use.

NOTE: Since we initially wrote this review, we've been made aware that the company has let many customers down from a customer service perspective - so, unfortunately, although we like the product, we can't stand behind it. For an alternative smart scale, we recommend you check out the Garmin Index S2, which is a similar price and from a great brand - it's the smart scale we choose to use at home.

This FitTrack Scale review (aka 'FitTrack Dara Scale') details what the fit track smart scale can do including the metrics it can track, how to use it and also its benefits.

What is a smart scale and how does the FitTrack Dara scale work?

A smart body scale is a bathroom scale that measures not just your weight, but other body composition metrics, and has the capability to sync them to a smartphone app or site that records the data and allows you to track it over time.

The FitTrack smart scale works by sending small electrical signals through your body when you stand on it. These pass quickly through water and meet resistance when going through body fat tissue. The resistance is measured and used to calculate your body composition measurements.

Benefits of the Fit Track smart scale

The key benefit of the Fit Track smart scales is that the FitTrack Dara offers reliable tracking of weight, BMI and other body metrics, and so it helps keep you accountable and measuring progress against personal goals.

It's great being able to easily see your body composition metrics on your smartphone app, which syncs automatically with the scale each time you step on it to weigh yourself (assuming your phone is within Bluetooth range).

It's really the seamless connection to your phone, and instant ability to analyze your fitness data over time that really makes the FitTrack ecosystem a winner for us.

What body metrics does the FitTrack scale measure?

I've listed below all the body metrics the Fit Track smart scale tracks and records in the FitTrack smartphone app:

1. Weight - Accurate to +/- 300grams
2. BMI (body mass index)
3. BFP (body fat percentage)
4. Muscle rate (percentage)
5. Body water (percentage) - Maintain optimal levels of hydration every day
6. Bone mass - Discover your body's foundational composition
7. BMR (basal metabolic rate)
8. Protein rate
9. Metabolic age
10. Visceral fat index
11. Subcutaneous fat
12. Standard weight - Ideal weight
13. Weight control - The difference between your actual and standard weight)
14. Fat mass - Get a clearer picture of your overall health
15. Weight without fat
16. Muscle mass - Understand if you're losing fat, gaining strength, or both
17. Protein mass

The Fit Track scale app explains how each of these rates is calculated and where applicable tracks them against the preset low, standard and high levels for someone of your profile (taking into account factors such as your age, gender and height).

How do you use the FitTrack scale with the app?

Once set up, have your phone with the FitTrack app open within Bluetooth range of the Fit Track scale (within a few feet is ideal). Then stand on the Fit Track scale to measure your weight and other metrics.

The smart scale and app will automatically sync your body composition measurements within a few seconds - the app will tell you when it's done and you can then step off the scale. The whole process only takes a few seconds to complete which is impressive.

Using the FitTrack smart scale - other FAQs

• How much weight can the FitTrack scale support? According to the Fit Track website, up to 400lb / 181kg
• Does the FitTrack sync with other health apps? Yes! FitTrack data can be synced directly with Apple Health, Google Health and other health tracking apps.
• How many people can use the FitTrack scale? The Fit Track scale can have up to eight registered users at any one time, including children.

Is the FitTrack Dara scale the best smart scale available?

To truly answer whether this is the best smart scale, in this Fit Track scale review we would have had to have tested FitTrack scale's competitors - our past experience of smart scales is using our older Fitbit Aria Scale, and I can tell you that the FitTrack smart scale is much smaller and easier to set up and use than the Aria.

I can, however, say that if you are searching smart scale reviews looking for a compact smart scale that is easy to use and reliably tracks your weight, BMI and a range of other interesting body metrics via an app, the FitTrack Dara scale is most likely what you're looking for.

Where to buy the FitTrack smart scale

I have heard of reports of Fittrack struggling to meet demand appropriately on their own online store so if you choose to buy one, it may be better to consider buying these scales from Amazon.com if they show as in-stock on Amazon's website.
