Withings - Body Comp Complete Body Analysis Smart Wi-Fi Scale - Black

Love the Body Comp scale. Sharp looking. Sized just big enough to comfortably step on. Very sturdy. I like the digital readouts. Bright and clear.

Look no further if you’re looking for more insights from a scale beyond just weight. This scale may cost $$ but it has many features and insights that makes the cost worth its weight in gold. First, the scale is super easy to pair with the app. The app is intuitive and you can complete your first weigh-in within minutes. Beyond just weight and BMI, this scale also accurately measures body composition (in 3 parts), vascular age, pulse wave, standing heart rate and electrodermal activity. More about these measurements next. Body composition is broken out by muscle, fat and bone. And yes, this scale measures all 3 and doesn’t take more than 10 seconds to gather all the data it needs. Since it’s Wi-Fi, the measurements are recorded into your app and you can quickly see the trends on why your overall weight is changing. Is it muscle growth? Fat Mass decline? The app will tell you. Vascular age is neat as it tells you the conditions of your arteries in relation to your age. Pulse Wave measures the stiffness of your arteries. Stiff arteries are a sign of poor heart health. Electrodermal activity score is an indication of your nervous system’s control of the sweat glands. The results are either “Normal” or “Low” on the scale but the app will give you numerical results and plotted against a “suggested” score. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with Withins’ Body Comp Scale. Gives me additional insights that other scales can’t give. Automatically recording each weigh-in to the app and plotting over time to show me trends is very insightful. Besides plotting my data, the app also shows me “healthy ranges” and where my data points are in relation to. The scale is also family friendly as you can set “family members” or “share” your scale with someone. I can set my kids as “family members” and I can see all their stats within my app. I “shared” the scale with my wife so she has her own app to see her data that I have no visibility to. The scale also automatically knows who’s who so the data goes to the right person. Get this scale, you won’t be disappointed.

----- SUMMARY ----- Verdict: What sets the Withings Body Comp scale apart is its ability to provide a comprehensive body analysis. Just tracking weight doesn’t tell the whole story. If I want to gain a few pounds of muscle, I can track that with the Body Comp scale. There are many other insightful measurements that you won’t find on other scales, and the Health Mate app is rich with data. If you’re looking for insights into your well-being, consider the Withings Body Comp scale. Pros: - Sleek and stylish design - High-quality and durable - Provides a comprehensive body analysis - Automatically syncs data via Wi-Fi - Tracks up to 8 users independently - App shows trends and details - 12 months of Health+ included Cons: - Hefty price tag - Health+ needs more work ----- DETAILS ----- Setup: Setting up the Withings Body Comp scale is a breeze. With the Withings Health Mate app on your phone (available for Android and iOS), you go to Devices, then click the “+” and select the Body Comp scale. It’ll connect and start a software update. The slowest part is the software update, but even with that, the setup process only takes a few minutes. Design: This is easily the best-looking scale you’ll find on the market. I like the sleek design with the tempered-glass platform and bright display. The circular metal centerpiece is a nice touch. On the bottom, feet on each corner provide grip on smooth surfaces. Carpet feet that slide over the top of the regular feet are included in the box for use on thick carpets. There’s also a battery compartment (four AAA batteries are pre-installed) and a pairing button. Withings says the batteries will last about 15 months if you weigh yourself once a day. It’s a simple design that gets the job done and looks great doing it. Features & App: The Home tab in the Withings Health Mate app provides a simple overview of your measurements. You can tap on any measurement, such as Body Composition to take a closer look at the trends and details. Up to eight people can use the scale, and it’ll automatically detect who’s using it (based on weight) and record the results on the appropriate profile. The automatic detection works well for my wife and me, but users close in weight might need to manually select their profile. Since the Body Comp scale connects to Wi-Fi, you don’t have to have your phone nearby for measurements to be recorded. Across all smart scales I’ve seen, the Withings Body Comp seems to be the most comprehensive. For a full body composition analysis, you can track weight, body fat, water percentage, muscle mass, bone mass, and visceral fat. The scale also provides a couple of heart health measurements like standing heart rate and vascular age. Additionally, you're provided with an electrodermal activity score, which is measured by stimulating the sweat glands on your feet. The intent is to warn of peripheral neuropathy, most commonly caused by diabetes. Without access to medical-grade tools, it’s difficult to assess the accuracy of the Withings Body Comp scale measurements. However, the numbers seem to closely align with my measurements when I visit the doctor. That and the fact that I don’t see any unusual changes in my measurements from the scale makes me confident in its numbers. Tracking weight on it's own can have some benefits, but it doesn’t tell the whole story. It’s been very interesting to see measurements like body fat and muscle mass regularly. If you're looking for a wide range of health metrics conveniently in one device, the Withings Body Comp scale is for you. Health+: Included with the Withings Body Comp scale is 12 months of Health+. At the end of the 12 months, continuing the subscription is currently priced at $9.95 per month. Although Health+ has some useful features, it’s not required for any of the functionality mentioned above. What it adds are programs where you can choose to focus on activity, nutrition, or sleep. With various missions that involve, advice, workouts, meal suggestions, and articles, Health+ is a habit-based approach to healthier living. I like Health+ and think it’s a solid way to help users work towards healthier habits, but I likely won’t continue the subscription once the 12 months are up, mainly because I can find similar resources for free elsewhere and prefer to use my Peloton subscription for the workout piece. Perhaps with some more refinement and unique features, the Health+ subscription would be more enticing to me. ----- WHAT’S IN THE BOX ----- 1 x Body Comp Scale 4 x Carpet Feet 4 x AAA Batteries (Pre-Installed) 1 x Quick Installation Guide 1 x Product Guide

I recently got the Withings Body Comp Scale and I must say, I am really impressed. This scale not only accurately measures my weight, but also provides a variety of other measurements that are incredibly helpful in tracking my overall health and wellness. The scale is sleek with a modern design, with a color LCD display that is easy to read. It also connects seamlessly to my phone via Wi-Fi through the Withings App , allowing me to track my progress over time and set goals for myself. One of the best features about this scale is its ability to measure multiple things rather than just my weight . In addition to my weight, it provides data on my Body Fat Percentage, Muscle Mass, Visceral fat, Heart Rate, Vascular Age, BMI, Bone Mass and Water Retention. This information has been very helpful in guiding my weight loss, as I can track it through graphs throughout the week. Another great feature of the Withings Body Comp Scale is its ability to recognize multiple users. This is perfect for myself and significant other, as we can both use the scale regularly. It automatically detects which one of us is stepping on the scale and records our measurements separately, so we can both track our progress without any confusion. Overall, I would highly recommend the Withings Body Comp Scale to anyone looking for a high-quality, comprehensive scale that provides accurate and useful information about their overall health and wellness. It's easy to use, reliable, and has become part of my daily routine.

​I recently changed from using a "fb" health tracking device to using an Apple Watch. For me the latest "fb" watch did not track my sleep properly, it basically said I never slept. My wife has not had the same issues, her tracker works fine for her. A few years back we got the "fb" scale and she had used it pretty regularly; so I'm familiar with the data it captured. This Withings scale is quite similar, but I actually find it to be much more sophisticated with better data collection (although I've used it just over a week). I had a lot of problems with getting the "fb" scale to register my Ecg and O2 saturation, but no problems at all with the Withings. The Withings is also much faster in collecting data, it takes between 25-30s to collect all data; the "fb" scale took closer to a minute. If you've never used a smart scale, you should use it at about the same time everyday if you want to get consistent results. I'd suggest either first thing in the morning, or right before bed time. For me, I found that I lose about a pound or two overnight (dehydration). Setting up the app and scale was very simple, just what you'd expect. The Body Comp Scale is very easy to use, just step on the scale and it automatically measures your weight, body fat percentage, heart rate, bone/water percentage and other statistics. This data automatically syncs with the Withings Health app, and with the Apple Health App. This makes it easy to view your progress over time (and in multiple formats). You can set goals and view your progress in achieving those goals (mostly weight). It is possible to share your progress with friends and family. My bathroom floor is a white tile, the white scale looks very simple and modern o​n the tile floor. The numbers on the scale are plenty large, I don't need to wear my glasses to see them​. I believe the scale is very accurate. To test this I got on the scale, got my weight, then got back on holding 2x10lbs weights, and my new weight was exactly 20lbs heavier. I weighed the weights alone and the weight was 0.1lb shy of the expected 20 lbs. And I've not seen any significant swings in the data it records, except for my sleep data (which it has detected reliably, but my Light, Deep and Rem sleep varies significantly, as does my Awake periods). Getting this data integrated with other data from my Apple Watch makes for a pair that plays very well together (something Apple seems to do with very few). So having used a smart scale before, this Willings Body Comp scale is a great advance in data collection. I'm looking forward to creating a lot more data over time. The scale does require you to set up an account with Withings, and they claim all of your data will be kept confidential; no different than Apple and Apple health I'd guess. I'm quite impressed with the scale speed and data collection operations, it's a fine piece of health equipment. I recommend it to track your health data.
