JAKARTA - After his old smart scales were damaged and could no longer be connected to the internet, tech journalist Benjamin Mayo is looking for a new, simpler and more affordable solution. He found the answer on the Eufy Smart Scale C20, a digital scale compatible with Apple Health and priced at a fairly low price.
This balance works independently, without the need for an additional internet connection or subscription. Although integration with the iPhone through the Apple Health app is available, it is just an optional feature. This means that users can directly use it without being complicated.
The compact design makes the Eufy C20 easy to store in the bathroom. Despite being small (less than 27 square cm) in size, this scale is equipped with a bright 3,3-inch color screen that displays numbers and graphics clearly and is attractive.
When the user steps on the scales, this tool immediately measures weight, body fat percentage, and muscle mass. The display not only displays numbers, but also visualizations of changes from previous measurements. The level of accuracy is claimed to be in the range of 50 grams (0.1 pounds).
Additional features in the form of heart rate measurements are also available, although it takes longer to stand on the scales to get the results. For those who already use the Apple Watch, this feature can be disabled for the sake of time efficiency.
To sync data to Apple Health, users only need to open the Eufy Life application on the iPhone, then stand on the scale. With Bluetooth connection, data is sent directly to the app and forwarded to Apple's HealthKit without the need to press any button. The scale screen will display the Bluetooth icon as a successful sign of the connection.
Although the appearance of the Eufy Life application is not too special, its function is enough to connect and send data. After synchronizing, users can close the application and see all data through Apple Health or other third-party applications.
SEE ALSO:
This balance also has an internal memory, so it is not mandatory to carry an iPhone every time you weigh it. The data will be stored locally, and when the iPhone is brought closer at the next opportunity, all stored data will be synchronized automatically.
The recorded data includes:
- Weight
- Body fat percentage
- Body Mass Index (BMI)
- Height
- Fat body mass (lean body mass)
One thing to note is multi-user support. The C20 eufy allows up to 16 user profiles, but the sync feature to Apple Health is only optimal for the use of one user. Synchronization between profiles to different devices is quite limited, although there are some unofficial solutions.
At a price of 39.99 US dollars (around Rp. 650 thousand) on Amazon, the Eufy Smart Scale C20 is the right choice for iPhone users who want smart scales fast, accurate, and without complicated.
