Redesigned Handle and Screen Placement
Wyze has announced a new version of its health tracking hardware, building upon the original [Ultra BodyScan smart scale that debuted nearly a year ago](https://www.theverge.com/news/817826/wyze-smart-scale-ultra-bodyscan-segmented-body-composition-handle-electrodes). The newly unveiled Wyze Scale Ultra BodyScan Plus introduces a notable hardware redesign intended to improve user experience during weight and body composition checks.
While the previous generation placed its display on the base platform, the Ultra BodyScan Plus relocates its 4.3-inch customizable color screen directly onto the retractable handle. By moving the display to the handle, the scale makes all measured health statistics much easier to read at eye level while users hold the grip.
Expanded Body Composition Metrics
The $149 Wyze Scale Ultra BodyScan Plus represents an upgrade over the standard [$119.98 Ultra BodyScan](https://wyzelabsinc.pxf.io/c/482924/2137862/27209?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wyze.com%2Fproducts%2Fwyze-scale-ultra-bodyscan%3F) model. Beyond the repositioned display screen, the new Plus model significantly increases the breadth of health indicators it monitors during a single session.
Last year’s iteration tracked 13 core metrics, including body mass index (BMI), weight, bone mass, body water percentage, and muscle weight. In contrast, the Plus variant bumps that capability to track over 50 metrics. These additional data points include visceral fat, protein levels, and basal metabolic rate, which measures the minimum calories needed daily to sustain the body.
Utilizing bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) via additional electrodes embedded in the retractable handle, the hardware provides a detailed segmented breakdown of health metrics across the arms, legs, and torso.
Pricing, Availability, and Subscriptions
The Wyze Scale Ultra BodyScan Plus is available starting today for $149 through [Wyze’s online store](https://wyzelabsinc.pxf.io/c/482924/2137862/27209?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wyze.com%2Fproducts%2Fwyze-ultra-bodyscan-plus), offered in both black and white color options.
The launch arrives shortly after industry news surrounding competing hardware ecosystems. As noted in reporting by [The Verge](https://www.theverge.com/tech/1013081/wyze-smart-scale-ultra-bodyscan-plus-handle-display), competitor Withings revealed that new users would be subject to annual subscription fees to access and sync health data through third-party apps. Conversely, Wyze confirms that the Ultra BodyScan Plus does not require a subscription to sync data to preferred applications, making all software features fully accessible without monthly or annual fees.
Connectivity and Multi-User Support
When it comes to data syncing, the smart scale connects via Bluetooth through a nearby smartphone or links directly to the cloud using a home Wi-Fi network. Compatible platforms include Apple Health, Google Health, and Android's Health Connect.
The device features built-in support for multiple individuals, capable of recognizing and storing measurements for up to eight registered users. Additionally, it accommodates an unlimited number of guests who wish to record one-off measurements without saving profiles.
The hardware also features specialized operational modes designed to measure the weight of children, pets, and luggage while held by a user, omitting the advanced body composition breakdowns during these specific weigh-ins.
