GE Digital Bathroom Scale review
A high-capacity 500-pound digital scale with precision sensors and app connectivity, for households that need more range than a standard scale.
Quick take
The GE SC-500 uses 4 high-precision sensors for weight readings down to 0.1 lb / 0.05 kg increments, with a 500-pound capacity — well above what many standard bathroom scales offer. It uses a bright LED display rather than a typical backlit LCD, and pairs with GE's free "Fit Profile" app over Bluetooth for tracking.
From our own use
At one point, I needed a scale with a higher weight capacity than many standard household models offered. Although I no longer need that extra range, this 500-pound scale could be a practical option for anyone who does.

Skip it if
- A standard-range digital scale already covers your needs
- You don't want to connect a scale to an app
Setup and daily use
The auto-connect Bluetooth pairing with GE's Fit Profile app is designed to log readings automatically rather than requiring manual entry, and the app supports multiple user profiles for households tracking more than one person. The bright LED display is meant to be easier to read at a glance than a dim backlit LCD, particularly first thing in the morning.
