PHYSIX OBSERVATION
Wyze has pulled segmental body composition measurement under $100, which is good for budget users, but the handle build quality and basic app experience show clear signs of cost control. This sends a signal: the hardware barrier for body fat scales is lowering, and the room for premium brands to charge a premium based on software ecosystem and materials will be gradually squeezed.
