My Wyze Scale S measurements are wrong.

Problem:

Your Wyze Scale S measurements are incorrect; your weight measurement is not as expected.

Troubleshooting:

Incorrect Weight:

  1. Ensure Wyze Scale S is placed on a hard, flat surface.
  2. Step on the scale to activate it then step off to calibrate.
    • Let the scale return to 0.0lb.
  3. Check if you're using Athlete Mode.
    • Athlete Mode should only be enabled for users with 3-5% body fat.
    • In the Wyze app, tap on your Wyze Scale S > Settings > Users > your Nickname. Turn Athlete Mode off, if needed.
  4. Replace the batteries. 
    • Make sure you're using alkaline batteries in the scale as lithium-ion and rechargeable batteries can skew the scale's functionality.
  5. Clean the scale's surface.
    • Wipe off the scale’s surface with a damp cloth, then try again.
  6. Make sure to stand on the scale with bare feet without your knees touching.

Incorrect Body Composition Measurements:

  1. Make sure to stand on the scale with bare feet without your knees touching.
  2. Clean the scale's surface.
    • Wipe off the scale’s surface with a damp cloth, then try again.
  3. Check if the correct profile is selected in the Wyze app while measuring.

  4. Check if all the personal information (i.e. body type, year of birth, etc.) is correct in the Wyze app.
    • In the Wyze app, tap on Wyze Scale S > SettingsUsers > Nickname.

Notes:

  • Body composition metrics (body fat %, water %, etc.) are only available for people between the ages of 10-100 years old. Children under 10 and seniors over 100 will not be able to access the body composition features. For users between ages 10-17, the body composition metrics are only for reference.
  • There is a range of acceptable measurement differences. The tolerance of Wyze Scale S is:
    • 11-132lb: ± 0.66lb
