This “smart” scale is a tech enthusiast's fever dream and a privacy lover’s worst nightmare. Imagine, if you will, stepping on a sleek, glossy surface only to have it blurt out *18 different metrics* about your body—yes, 18, ranging from basic weight and BMI to “Obesity Level,” “Visceral Fat,” and “Metabolic Age.” Basically, this thing is a digital therapist that keeps a more detailed file on your body than you’d ever want to know.The app connection is both its blessing and its curse. Pairing with the Osprey app lets you review your “progress” (if you can call it that) with conveniently terrifying charts and graphs that store your weigh-ins and metrics over weeks, months, even years. Just keep in mind that every number it calculates requires you to consent to things like location tracking. That’s right—because this scale apparently needs to know where you are when you weigh in. Big Brother may or may not care about your muscle rate, but this scale certainly does.The display itself, at 4.7 inches, is large enough to read your weight but, shockingly, not quite big enough to show all 18 stats clearly—so get ready to squint or let the app do the heavy lifting on that front. And beware, without the app open, it’s a roll of the dice if your non-weight measurements will actually make it to your phone.If you’ve always felt your bathroom scale should also function as a life coach (one with strong opinions on body fat), this gadget is your new best friend. For the rest of us, it’s a high-tech scale that looks sleek and tells us we have some “ideal weight goals” to work toward.
