About
The Elis 1 is the default cheap smart scale: consistent readings, thirteen body metrics, unlimited user profiles and a Bluetooth app that exports to Apple Health, Google Fit and Fitbit. There is no Wi-Fi and no display beyond weight, so your phone has to be present for the full picture. For tracking a trend line rather than a clinical number, nothing else at this price does the job as reliably.
Pros
- +Very affordable
- +Unlimited users
- +Consistent readings
Cons
- −Bluetooth only
- −Basic app
