Good smart scales also come with apps (some also have desktop interfaces), that help you track you weight over time, among other things. Effortless weight tracking is theri main USP.

Smart scales can also read body-fat or other body-composition (e.g., bone-density) metrics, which helps you get a body-fat percentage estimate.
