FitScale by BeatO Body Composition Scale | 4 Electrodes for Accuracy | 18 Advanced Metrics

Overview

FitScale by BeatO is an advanced body composition scale designed to help you understand your health the smart way. This Bluetooth-enabled weighing scale connects seamlessly to the BeatO App (Android only) and delivers detailed body composition analysis with precision.

Powered by 4 high-sensitivity electrodes using Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) technology, FitScale measures 18 key body metrics including weight, BMI, body fat percentage, muscle mass, visceral fat, water weight, protein rate, and bone mass—giving you a complete picture of your overall health.1

More than just a weight machine for home, FitScale acts as a comprehensive body composition analyzer, offering deeper insights and intelligent trends via the BeatO App. It helps you and your family focus on long-term health and wellness every single day.

What It Is

FitScale is a smart digital bathroom scale that goes far beyond measuring weight. Using advanced 4-electrode Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) technology, it provides a comprehensive analysis of your body composition by measuring 18 different health metrics.1

The scale features a sleek, durable design with a tempered glass platform, large LCD display with backlight, and anti-slip base. It connects wirelessly via Bluetooth to the BeatO App on Android devices, automatically syncing your measurements and creating detailed health reports.

Key Technology: BIA works by sending a safe, low-level electrical current through your body when you step barefoot on the scale. Different body tissues (fat, muscle, water) have different electrical resistance. The scale measures this resistance and uses sophisticated algorithms to calculate your body composition.2

Who It's For

FitScale is ideal for:

Not suitable for: - Individuals with implanted medical devices (pacemakers, defibrillators) - Pregnant women (weight measurement is safe, but body composition readings may be inaccurate)3

  2. Install batteries: Insert the 3 included AAA batteries in the battery compartment on the bottom of the scale
  3. Download the app: Scan the QR code on the box or search for "BeatO" in the Google Play Store (Android only)
  4. Create your profile: Open the app, create an account, and enter your personal information (age, height, gender) for accurate calculations
  5. Connect via Bluetooth: Enable Bluetooth on your phone and follow in-app instructions to pair with FitScale

Taking Measurements

For most accurate results:4

  1. Timing: Measure first thing in the morning after using the bathroom but before eating or drinking
  2. Preparation: Remove socks and ensure feet are clean and dry
  3. Positioning: Step onto the scale barefoot, positioning your feet evenly on the electrodes
  4. Stance: Stand still and upright until the measurement completes (usually 5-10 seconds)
  5. Consistency: Measure at the same time each day under similar conditions

What to avoid: - Measuring immediately after exercise (wait 2+ hours) - Measuring after bathing or showering (wait 30+ minutes) - Measuring after consuming large meals or beverages - Using the scale on carpet or soft surfaces - Stepping on with wet feet or while wearing socks

Understanding Your Results

The BeatO App displays your measurements with: - Current readings for all 18 metrics - Trend charts showing progress over time (weekly, monthly, yearly) - Health insights with personalized recommendations - Goal tracking to monitor your fitness journey - Multiple profiles for family members

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the 18 body metrics measured by FitScale?

FitScale measures: Weight, BMI, Body Fat Percentage, Muscle Mass, Visceral Fat, Protein Rate, Bone Mass, Metabolic Age, Body Water Percentage, Skeletal Muscle, Lean Body Mass, Subcutaneous Fat, Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), Body Type, Fat-Free Body Weight, Muscle Rate, Hydration Level, and Body Score.1

How does the 4-electrode technology work?

FitScale uses Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) with 4 high-grade electrodes positioned under your feet. When you step on barefoot, a safe, low-level electrical current passes through your body. Different tissues (fat, muscle, water) have different electrical resistance. The scale measures this resistance and calculates your body composition using advanced algorithms.2

When is the best time to measure my body composition?

For most accurate results, measure first thing in the morning after using the bathroom but before eating or drinking. Your hydration levels are most stable at this time. Avoid measuring immediately after exercise, bathing, or consuming large meals, as these affect hydration and impact readings.4

Who should not use FitScale?

FitScale should not be used by individuals with implanted medical devices such as pacemakers or defibrillators, as the electrical current may interfere with these devices. Pregnant women should consult their healthcare provider before use. While weight measurement is safe during pregnancy, body composition readings may not be accurate.3

How do I connect FitScale to the BeatO App?

Download the BeatO App from Google Play Store (Android only) using the QR code on the box. Create an account, enable Bluetooth on your phone, and follow in-app instructions to pair your FitScale. Once connected, measurements automatically sync each time you step on the scale.

Can multiple family members use the same FitScale?

Yes, FitScale supports multiple user profiles through the BeatO App. Each family member creates their own profile, and the app automatically recognizes different users based on weight, tracking individual progress separately.

How accurate is FitScale compared to professional equipment?

FitScale uses the same BIA technology found in many professional settings. While 4-electrode scales are generally less accurate than 8-electrode models for segmental analysis, they provide reliable trends for home monitoring. Research shows smart scales can be accurate for tracking changes over time, though absolute values may vary.5

How long do the batteries last?

With normal use (4 measurements per day), the 3 AAA batteries typically last approximately 6-8 months. The scale features auto-off technology to conserve battery life. Replace batteries when the display becomes dim or shows a low battery indicator.6

Why do my readings vary throughout the day?

Body composition naturally fluctuates based on hydration, food intake, exercise, and time of day. Water retention, meals, and physical activity all affect readings. For consistent tracking, measure at the same time each day under similar conditions—ideally first thing in the morning.4

How do I ensure accurate measurements?

For accurate readings: (1) Place scale on hard, flat surface (not carpet), (2) Step on barefoot with clean, dry feet, (3) Stand still with feet on electrodes, (4) Measure at same time daily, (5) Maintain consistent hydration, (6) Avoid measuring after intense exercise or bathing.4

Is the electrical current safe?

Yes, the electrical current used in BIA is extremely low (typically less than 1 milliamp) and completely safe for most people. You won't feel anything during measurement. However, those with pacemakers or electronic implants should not use the scale.23

Can I use FitScale without the app?

Yes, the scale displays your weight on the LCD screen without app connection. However, to access the 18 body composition metrics, trend tracking, and detailed insights, you must connect to the BeatO App via Bluetooth.

What if my scale shows inconsistent readings?

Inconsistent readings usually result from: (1) Uneven surface placement, (2) Moving during measurement, (3) Wet or dirty feet, (4) Measuring at different times of day, (5) Low batteries. Ensure proper placement, clean feet, and consistent measurement timing. If issues persist, try resetting by removing and reinserting batteries.

Does FitScale work with iOS/iPhone?

No, FitScale currently only supports Android devices. The BeatO App is available exclusively on Google Play Store for Android smartphones.

How is visceral fat different from body fat percentage?

Body fat percentage measures total fat in your body, while visceral fat specifically measures fat surrounding your internal organs. Visceral fat is particularly important as high levels are associated with increased risk of metabolic diseases, even in people with normal body fat percentage.

Can children use FitScale?

The scale can measure weight for anyone, but body composition algorithms are designed for adults. For children under 18, consult with a pediatrician about interpreting body composition data, as normal ranges differ significantly from adults.
