Withings Body - Digital Wi-Fi Smart Scale with Automatic Smartphone App Sync, BMI, Multi-User Friendly, with Pregnancy Tracker & Baby Mode

TL;DR - While it's a bit of a pain to set up at first, it works flawlessly after and gets out of your way The Good: - Connects with fitbit app - Connect it once when you set it up, then forget about it. All weighings are automatically pushed to wherever you set it up to push them (fitbit app, withings app, apple fitness) - Accurate - Weighs quickly without the need to "tap it first" The Meh: - Setting it up is a bit of a process. Took me about a half an hour and a couple of failed starts The Bad: - It does send your stats to a server that Withings runs, if you want to have it auto-sync (which is the primary reason to get it). That said, if auto-sync is a feature you want, you won't find anything in this price range that doesn't do that. Before this, I had bought a fitbit aria scale, because I wanted to track my weight in the same place as my calories and sleep. The aria scale had two major problems: 1 - the aria requires you to pull out your phone, hit some buttons, stand on the scale, and wait for it to connect to save your measurements. Huge pain in the still-too-large behind. 2 - the aria is accurate +/- ~7 lbs. Which is to say, it isn't accurate. This scale has no such problems. Setup is a little bit of a hassle, but it only needs to be done once.

I have tried a number of electronic scales. This one is more expensive than many, but I have grown to like it. It has better accuracy that most, and shows weight to the nearest 0.1 pound, unlike most. Apparently, this is partly because it guides you to stand in a balanced position on the scale. If your weight is not balanced across the scale, it shows arrows to shift your body until it is balanced -- and then reports the weight. I like the feature where it shows the difference between the current and previous reading, along with a small graph of recent trends. You can also see BMI and other things, but I don't use that feature. The numbers and graph are easy to read. The app allows you to connect the scale to a website using WiFi. Once connected, you can see more historical data on the website, and do other things. The only issue I had was that the scale would not connect to my WiFi extender for some reason. I had to connect to the wireless router directly, but it did that successfully even with a pretty weak signal. For someone who wants an accurate scale, especially one that tracks weight readings, this is a good product. It also interfaces with other health-related devices through the app if that is desired.

The scale itself seems to be fine. The software is trash. The software could be more intuitive, it's not bad but comparatively the lay out could be much improved. They do a bad job of utilizing space and information. Maybe it works, not sure. My biggest gripe is the software functionality. It is terrible to try and get synced. Maybe it's the distance to the router. Why would you create something with 10 ft distance requirement from a scale to a router. That is dumber than dumb, especially considering that a good router placement is likely not within that distance of a good place to put a scale. The Bluetooth option doesn't seem to sync even though connected and device is listed. So basically it is an accurate dumb scale. Go for it if you just need a scale without any smart features. Looking for more, look elsewhere.

The app is very easy to navigate. The scale is perfect size

Easy to set up and connect to their app. Like the BMI option. Comes with covers for the feet if using on carpeted surface. App is easy to use - keeps track of weight every time you step on the scale. (So for my 3 weigh ins I go into the app and delete all but the first reading of the day.) One negative it it’s consistency in getting an accurate weight. Depending on where I step (within seconds of getting a reading - step off / step on when screen clears) on the scale my weight can vary by 3 lbs. trying to stand in the same location to get a consistent weight from day to day. Maybe there can be footprint outlines on the surface so users can step in the same spot.

The trick to setting up the WiFi connection is to do it via the Withings smartphone app (unfortunately). It tracks your weight and transmits results to the Withings app plus others, such as Fitbit, Cronometer, MyFitnessPal, and generates a graph to show your progress or to give you an incentive to try harder. I had the earlier model, which worked flawlessly for more than a decade. It still works for weight, but it stopped tracking BMI, which isn't a good indicator anyway according to recent science, and weather, which I don't need scales to do. But it was clearly starting to fail despite years of reliable service, so I ordered this newer model, which is the simplest one Withings sells. I highly recommend it. I'm pretty sure that this is the ONLY Withings Wi-Fi scale that does not send a small electrical current through the person's body when they're on it to weight themselves. People with pacemakers, implanted heart monitors (loop recorders) and similar implanted devices can use this one, a Withings rep told me, because it does not do that.

I bought this scale because I didn't need all the extra features that a smart scale usually has. I don't believe those scales can give accurate count on some of the obscure metrics. I don't believe that by sending a small electric current those scales can accurately give me fat % around my organs. Nor do I care, to be honest. I only want to monitor my weight. I had a difficult time finding a scale that did not have the electric sensors on it. I didn't want to send a small electric current through my body for data I don't want. After a lot of searching, I found this scale. This scale has worked great so far. The setup was very easy and intuitive. The app is user friendly as well. This scale also very easily lets me setup different profiles for my wife and kids. When I step on the scale, it knows me by my weight and records my weight to my account. When my wife uses it, the weight goes to her account. You don't need to select any user account before stepping on. The scale figures it out. A really nice additional feature is the graph that is shown on the screen at each weigh in. You can see your last few weigh ins and how you are trending. This is perhaps the most important, as individual weight can fluctuate day to day. It's the trends that matter, and with this scale you can see the trends every day. Using this scale each day is a great way to track your weight and make sure you are worrying about trends, not daily fluctuations. The app provides a nice regression line that evens out the fluctuations. I've been very pleased with this scale and would highly recommend it.

I did a LOT of research before purchasing my smart scale. I am simultaneously happy with my purchase and regretful of it. The Nokia Smart Scale works as advertised. This thing is really easy to set up and use. Turn on the scale, install the app, sync. If you use other apps, sync those up. I have synced it with a few apps, including MyFitnessPal. I like the tracking aspect of the app, providing a chart of your day to day weight. As someone who analyzes numbers for a living, it's quite sweet. In terms of mindfully keeping track of your weight, I can't imagine a better scale...unless there's one out there that lies to you to spare your feelings. I regret this purchase BECAUSE it's so easy to use. I put it in front of my closet, and I step on it before I pick my suit for the day. A second or two on the scale and I get my weight, my BMI, and the weather. And since it's winter, I feel like every morning, the scale tells me "You're overweight and it's freezing out. Have a nice day at work while I lie here snoozing all day." It's possibly that the harsh tone of the scale is all in my mind. (At least that's what the voices in my head tell me.) Seriously though, if you are taking your weight management seriously but want to minimize the effort, this is an excellent product that does what it says it does. Who knew Nokia still made relevant products?

This is the cheapest way to join the Withings family and it is well worth it. The scale is great and all but the app is star of the show. If you’re into the data and tracking your metrics then grab this scale and download the app. The iOS experience combined with Apple Watch data is hard to beat. It keeps getting better with each update as well. More and more in depth insights. Individual scale readings every now and again are meaningless; what matters are the averages over a week and trends over a longer period. The app does a great job of tracking and displaying these and many other trends in a very user friendly way. The scale itself is sleek and accurate. I used to use the Fitbit smart scales and enjoyed the Wi-Fi connectivity for hands free syncing (compared to the cheaper Bluetooth scales). This one is much better for a lot less. Also, Fitbit doesn’t let you export your weight data but Withings does. I wouldn’t bother with the more expensive scales offered by Withings. The body fat % estimates are mediocre at best and laughably inaccurate at worst for any smart scale. Save your money and get this one.

Bon rapport qualité prix, fonctionne très bien, données minimalistes, en fait juste le poids et l'indice corporelle, mais semble bien précise

It's too good and long life and accurate

Our fourth Withings scale in about 13 years. We first purchased our first Withings scale many years ago before Withings sold the company to Nokia. These scales became an essential part of our life, mainly because of their accuracy and integration with Apple health. They have one issue which is that they only tend to last about three years before needing replacing for one reason or another. Our last Withings scale was one of their more expensive models which had a built in rechargeable battery which would no longer take a charge. The company was sold by Nokia and is now trading as Withings again. Because of the lack of longevity issue we purchased the £59 base body model this time and find it as accurate as the £150 model we had previously. Thie Body model uses AAA batteries which means we are not reliant on the inaccessible rechargeable battery. Th Body model, seems to be just as accurate as the higher priced range and includes all the basic functions, weight, BMI, trend graph, reliable WiFi connection and weather forecast but lacks any of the premium heart and blood circulation measurements which I get from my watch anyway. If you can afford to buy a replacement after two to four years use I would recommend Withings Great value for a well known brand although cheaper scales are available. Someone mentioned the need to pay a subscription - I don’t know where that came from, I have never been asked to subscribe, neither do I get any annoying marketing emails. Great product all round.
