Weight gain isn’t always a bad thing – especially if you’re working out and gaining muscle mass.
Using a sensor that detects the electrical resistance of your body, the Xiaomi Mi Body Composition Scale is able to not just measure your body weight, but 13 other data points such as your body fat percentage, visceral fat and body age estimation. These are presented on easy-to-read graphs within the Mi Fit app (iOS, Android).
While not all body fats are bad, visceral fat, which are fats stored around important internal organs like your liver, increases your risk to health problems like stroke and diabetes. Beyond just knowing your weight, getting a glimpse of details like this can help you understand your health better.

Smart scales are an invaluable tool for monitoring our health, but you’re sharing it with multiple people, it’s only natural you’d want to ensure your data isn’t mixed up with someone else’s. The Huawei body fat scale solves that by tracking up to 10 users, which is more than enough for the average Singaporean family.
What’s more, this nifty scale displays your weight and body fat percentage on the screen itself. But for a comprehensive health report, you can sync it with the Huawei body fat scale app (iOS, Android) to obtain more stats such as your muscle mass, body water percentage, and BMI.

Fitbit is a health tracking tool that’s been widely used in Singapore – even in conjunction with the National Steps Challenge. The Fitbit Aria Air Smart scale works with other Fitbit products, such as the Fitbit app (iOS, Android) by matching activity and weight trends, giving you more insight to your exercise regime.
Apart from tracking your workouts, the app also allows you to log food and water intake daily. Taking into account all activity, it then generates charts and graphs to allow you to track your weight trends at a glance.
You can take this up a notch with Fitbit Premium ($9.99/month with 90 day free trial), which gives you personalised insights and guidance according to your stats. You can also get a free Fitbit tracker by enrolling in the Live Healthy SG initiative and commit to a 1 year Fitbit Premium subscription.

The recommended time for regular weigh-ins is after you visit the bathroom each morning. If you keep your weighing scale in the bathroom, the Beurer glass scale comes in handy as it has an anti-slip silicone surface.
It is also ideal for the elderly by offering sure footing and prevents any potential slippage, while its large 30MM digital readout ensures you’ll never have to squint to see that number.

One important thing to look out for when buying a weighing scale is accuracy – many scales require you to stand dead centre, and moving around sometimes results in different measurements. The hospital-grade Omron digital weighing scale solves that by using 4 sensors, which ensures that your reading is always precise.
Its tempered glass surface also makes it easy to clean, and being ultra-slim, it can be easily stored under your bed or dresser.

The Tanita analog weighing scale sports a clean, minimalist design despite its old-school, mechanical insides.
While digital scales are the norm now, good old analogue weighing scales are still preferred by some as they’re fuss-free to use. For one thing, they don’t require batteries to operate, so that’s one less step required for maintenance. For another, they’re easy to calibrate: simply twist the adjustment wheel to zero before you start using it.
