Smart scales are accurate for weight but generally not other body compositions though they can give rough estimates. But things like dehydration, recent meals, gender age, etc can play into it.

However, they can help you view trends over time but other than weight, the readings need to be taken with a grain of salt. The DEXA scan, which measures bone density is considered the gold standard for providing info about muscle mass and body fat composition.
