Wyze makes an affordable smart scale that tracks all the same things more expensive smart scales track. It connects to the Wyze app through Bluetooth to sync your weight, BMI, heart rate, protein level, visceral fat, and more. As with the other scales we reviewed, the app works with Google Fit, Apple Health, and other popular fitness apps. And hey, it says it offers "unlimited sharing with friends and family" because, you know, it's super fun to share your weight and visceral fat with friends and family, right? Really people, there can be too much sharing!

Was könnte passieren, wenn etwas schiefgeht?

There’s nothing in Wyze’s privacy policy that worries us overly much. We like that Wyze does not sell your personal information. They say they can share de-identified or aggregated information with third parties, which is pretty common and not too worrisome. Although it’s a good time to remind you that it’s been found to be pretty easy to de-anonymize some types of data and track down an individual’s patterns, especially with location data. And they do some targeted advertising with data they collect. Again, this is pretty normal in our digital ad economy and nothing stands out with Wyze that concerns us too much.

The biggest worry we have about Wyze’s connected products is the huge data leak their smart cameras suffered back in December, 2019 that exposed the personal information of 2.4 million customers when they left a database unprotected for 22 days. That is not good, not good at all. Fortunately, Wyze jumped on fixing their epic goof, which is what you want to see from a company when something like this happens. And as far as we can tell, Wyze hasn’t had any major security vulnerabilities or data leaks since then.
