Wyze drags the scale's brain up to eye level, and your feet can finally land anywhere

Wyze took the smart scale's brain and hoisted it up to eye level, which feels both obvious and overdue. The new Ultra BodyScan Plus keeps the retractable handle from last year's model but moves the 4.3-inch color display onto it, so you're not craning your neck toward your toes to see whether your muscle mass actually moved. The conductive indium tin oxide coated glass means your feet can land anywhere and still get BIA readings, which is the kind of forgiving design that real bathrooms need. It costs $149, about $30 more than the original, and ships in black or white starting today. The handle still does the segment breakdown across arms, legs, and torso.
