Feelfit. Bluetooth link to Yolanda brand scales. It is no longer available on Amazon but there are others that use the same methods. The fitbit scale died after 2 years. I have been using this one for about 2 years. Renpho is another model that does the same thing.
What I like: Measures 13 body compostion things: % body fat, body water, skeletal muscle, BMR, Fat-free body weight, subcutaneous fat, viceral fat, muscle mass, bone mass, protein, metablolic age. Integrates with other apps e.g Fitbit. App free with scale.
What I don’t like: You have to open the app to you weigh yourself. Not sure how accurate it is or how things are measured.
