Herz P1 Smart Scale Review: Body Fat, Muscle and Water From a Bathroom Scale?
Herz P1 Smart Scale
The number on the scale never tells the whole story. The Herz P1 claims to break your weight down into fat, muscle, water and more, and send it all to your phone. I weighed in every morning for a month to see if the data was useful or just noise.
What it is
A glass bathroom scale with metal contact pads and a companion app. Step on barefoot and it measures weight plus a set of body composition estimates, then syncs over Bluetooth.
How it works
A tiny, harmless electrical signal travels through your body; fat, muscle and water conduct it differently, so the scale can estimate each one. The app charts everything over time, which is where it becomes useful.
The verdict
Body composition estimates from any consumer scale are approximate, but the trend line is what matters, and this one is consistent day to day. For anyone losing weight, building muscle or managing health after 50, watching the trend is far more motivating than the raw number.

Frequently asked questions
Is the body fat reading accurate?
It is an estimate. Use it to watch the trend over weeks rather than the exact number on any one day.
Can multiple people use it?
Yes, the app supports several profiles and recognizes users by their measurements.
Is it safe with a pacemaker?
People with pacemakers or other implanted devices should not use bioimpedance scales. Ask your doctor.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, it ships with a money-back guarantee.
