Not reverse engineering, but I'd used free iOS/macOS apps that could inspect the traffic content. I also had access to the spec sheet from the manufacturer ("smart" BLE scale) that had where in the long payload digits were the weight, body fat, and water content, etc. Kinda fun and frustrating at the same time. If you truly wanted to punish yourself, you'd be doing this while trying to write a React Native app that communicated with the scale over BLE. :)
