Looking for recommendations for a scale that is accurate enough to measure water weight gains and losses to track my husband’s heart health.

Preferably one that syncs to iPhone.

I don’t care about fat percentage, or muscle mass. I do care about repeatability and accuracy. This is to monitor potential (probable) heart failure. And he has dementia so it’s best if it has the ability to send me his weight so I can track it easily.

Expense is less of a concern.

    I purchased the FITINDEX Smart Scale on Amazon over a year ago. Around $23. Has an app and it shows the "body water percent"

    I also have the FITINDEX scale and have been very pleased. It syncs to my iPhone.

    Maybe you already know this: From reading about body composition estimating methods, not from experience, the BIA scales that have 4 touch-points (i.e., some kind of handheld thingie(s) in addition to a platform) are supposed to be more accurate than the 2-point scales (flat platform touching feet only). More expensive, though, of course.

    I didn’t know that and I truly appreciate the input.
    A handle for him to hold would be helpful these days too.

    Getting old is not for sissies.
    🤣

    Ooop editing to say the handles aren’t handles for balance…. Hrm. Maybe there’s one that is….
    Searching continues.
    But I do like the possibility of an extra data point.
