This body scan scale is very impressive, it analyzes/measures six different body metrics. Setup is accomplished by downloading the Withings app on a mobile device and following the instructions to activate all the functions. Connect via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, powered by a rechargeable Lithium-ion battery. The functions performed and metrics measured are weight, body composition (fat & muscle mass), electrodermal activity, heart rate, vascular age, and ECG. The ECG requires opting in and giving permission for it to be analyzed. Vascular age requires five daily readings for it to analyze before giving results.
The app is very good, it's easy to understand and navigate, and encourages daily use. Daily use is the best way to get good measurements as it will average the readings and track results of daily measurements. Unfortunately, to get full access to all available reports, analysis, and a weekly health improvement score you have to subscribe to Withings+, for $9.95 a month or yearly for $99.50. More about this in my summation.
I believe the accuracy of readings is pretty good as they are in line with other health apps I'm using. The ECG is especially useful as a graph is provided which can be downloaded and shared with your doctor. You can also connect to other health/activity apps and also share a complete health report.
The body scan scale can also be shared with other family members. The initial user can send an invitation to others to download the app and use the scale. My wife and I are both using it. The app gives directions on how to switch users on the scale and it will display the current user's name so you know the results will be reported for the correct person.
This body scan scale does what it claims, is easy to use and understand. It's excellent for tracking health parameters and progress. Too bad you have to pay extra to get all the benefits. They're already charging a very high price for this item, they ought to include full access to all reports and analysis. I guess if you can afford it, it's worth it.

Withings claims you experience a full health check up in 90 seconds, and I agree. First thing’s first lets make it clear that this scale is extremely accurate in measuring your weight. Set up was very easy and I just followed the step by step instructions in the Withings app. The scale connects to your WiFi network. Another useful feature is that the scale has a rechargeable battery and the connector is USB C.
I have never had a scale smart or not, that provided segmental body composition. Any time I wanted body composition I had to use the calipers and figure it out that way. The other interesting aspect is the cardiovascular health feature. The Withings Body Scan uses an ECG, Vascular age, and standing heart rate to measure your cardiovascular health. Now let’s refer back to that 90 second full health check up. I whopping 30 of those 90 seconds are solely for the ECG!
All of the data points are transmitted to your phone through the Withings app. I have an iPhone and granted Withings access to my health data. So when I log a run on my apple watch or iPhone, Withings pulls that health data into the Withings app and takes the activity into consideration. When I launch the Withings app I know what my muscle to fat composition is for the various parts of my body, how my heart health is looking, and if I am trending upwards or downwards in the weight loss department. The heart tracking and segmental body composition is what sets this scale apart. Another item the scale tracks is your Electrodermal Activity (EDA) score which measures the and assesses the activity of the sweat glands in the soles of your feet. This score tells you your stress levels over time. This smart scale is the smartest one out on the market and is definitely for those that are serious into their health and are not afraid of having a scale give them the level of detail that the body scan scale is capable of.

What a joke. I paid $400 for a scale for it to arrive at my house and then not work. The battery does not charge. it is stuck at 0 percent. I tried everything. Literally 10 different sockets and charging bases. Nothing works.I then went to the Withings website to find that this is a common problem with these scales and that after a year when the warranty runs out the majority of the batteries stop working. I really wanted this scale and am so disappointed that it doesn't work.

The body composition feature worked once. After talking to Withings customer support for months they finally sent me a replacement. The replacement never worked for body composition. Other functions are good. If I had a redo I wouldn’t pay extra for that feature and just buy the cheaper model.

Premium scale that does more than just track weigh

First of all, the scale is absolutely beautiful. Heavy, dark glass, solid feel; it feels and looks like a premium product. The Withings Body Scan Scale takes things further by adding in a detachable bar that can take pulse and also assists with additional health-related measurements, and provides a mobile device integration element that allows for tracking weight and body/vascular related KPIs.
I'm not really a health nut, and never have been. I'll occasionally step on a weight scale, but have never really trended my weight. The Withings Scale helps remove some of the difficulty in tracking weight by connecting to the Withings app on a phone, importing data from a health app (such as Apple Health), and then tracking other important signals of personal health such as body mass/muscle, heart rate, and electro-dermal activity. All that is required is standing on the scale, holding the detachable bar in hand, and waiting for 15 or 20 seconds while the scan is performed. If you feel like getting a more personalized action plan to maintain health, you can sign up for a Withings plan. For me, I just like inputting a goal into the Withings app and then tracking the KPIs that are built into the scale.
I like the Scale. I was also able to send an invite to my wife and she installed the Withings app and has been using the Scale too. I like the fact that the Withings Scale already seems to know which one of us is standing on the scale; it pops our name up on the display.
It's a little pricey, but is high-end, rechargeable, has a nice display, and syncs with the smartphone.

Doesn't really do 1/2 the things it says it does. I've yet to have a single body scan complete. The vascular health function works 1 out of 8 scans at best.
I'll go back to my 10 year old basic Withings scale. Contacted Withings customer service and that was also completely useless.

Before getting the Body Scan scale from Withings I had their Body + scale for several years and it did serve me well, still does today no issues.
As I was looking for an upgrade and getting all the new features available today I read a lot of great reviews of other manufacturer’s scales. And then I went to the Withings website to see what they have.
The Body Scan scale comes with several key attributes that did convince me to spend the money.
First, how the body scan is done. All other scales I know of send a small electric signal from on of your feet to another, missing basically your upper torso. The Bidy Scan scale send the same signal from your hands through your upper torso down to your feet. That allows not only in my view for a more accurate assessment of the body structure but it also provides a breakdown of your fat and muscles in three separate section, your arms, your torso and your legs. You can see which parts of your body have more fat and which ones have less. Then in the Withings app it compares your fat and muscle numbers to other Withings users in your age group to allow you to see how to stack up versus other folks.
Another feature is the assessment of your vascular age where the stiffness of your arteries is checked and you’re given your vascular age. Withings also offers another feature but only in Europe (FDA has not approve that yet in US, but the feature is there, just not open yet) where even deeper scan of your arteries is conducted. Called Pulse Wave Velocity or PMV for short, it measures how fast your blood travels from your heart to your feet to assess the health of your arteries. It has proved to be very accurate in one clinical study based on my reading. Hopefully one day FDA will approve this in US.
Another unique feature is the 6-lead ECG. The difference is that the scale actually has 6 leads, which in my view is more accurate that what a health watch can do (I also have the Apple Watch which does ECG). The process of getting your ECG also becomes automatic because if you check your weight daily you will also get your ECG done at the same, no need to remember to get it done on your watch or other device.
The scale also comes with other features present on other, much cheaper scales, like the BMR, the visceral fat and EDA. You will get your nerve health score and will be able to see in the app how your score compares to others in your age group.
Of course it also measures your weight and bone percentage. Plus the heart rate. The weight smallest unit is 0.1 lbs or 50 grams. I like how the scale screen displays the trends showing a graph below the number for the last week or so.
The app is robust, gets the information from scale almost instantly and connects and talks to Apple Health. You can easily set up to 8 different users and the process is simple. The scale battery is rechargeable, no need to reinsert new batteries when the old ones run out. The scale is heavier than others we used to have but I would contribute it to overall quality. Everything on the scale looks solid and quality.
Overall when deciding on the scale, which one to pick, I asked myself a key question. Should I focus on the cost or should I get the best? Which features I do care about and how those features can help me be more informed about my health?
Body Scan arteries assessment, ECG, nerve health plus the features present on other scales looked to me like a great value for the money. Plus Withings reputation for accuracy and attention to detail did make a difference to me. Any scale can tell your your weight, Body Scan can do more for you. You’re getting what you’re paying for. Don’t be cheap on yourself. Highly recommended.

Your Comprehensive Health Tracker

The Withings Body Scan scale is a remarkable piece of technology, adept at providing comprehensive insights into one's health metrics. From tracking visceral fat around vital organs to pairing with native health apps for a holistic health assessment, it's a tool designed for those serious about their wellbeing. Notably, it also provides useful metrics on electrodermal activity and vascular age, contributing to an understanding of stress levels and cardiovascular health.
A unique feature of the Body Scan scale is its ability to measure Electrodermal Activity (EDA). This fascinating metric gauges the activity of sweat glands in your feet, reflecting your nervous system's response to stress or happiness. The EDA score, therefore, provides a valuable insight into one's average stress levels over time. Additionally, the vascular age metric is a boon for those mindful of their cardiovascular health, especially as they age. This feature measures the 'Pulse Wave Velocity' from the heart to the feet to deliver a score representing the health of your arteries, and subsequently, your vascular age. Impressively, the Body Scan scale also boasts an FDA-approved 6-lead electrocardiogram for detecting signs of atrial fibrillation. The ECG test is not only comprehensive but also very user-friendly. The results are easily shareable within the Withings app, and the data's resemblance to that of a professional ECG at a doctor's office is quite striking.
The question of accuracy is paramount, and in the case of the Withings Body Scan scale, it appears impressive. While it's challenging to assert outright accuracy without citing specific studies, Withings' collaborative work with health experts and doctors in the scale's design and the FDA approval for the ECG feature speak volumes to the validity of its data. The scale's ability to provide key biomarker data and establish a baseline for one's health metrics is invaluable. Recognizing drastic changes in these metrics could serve as a timely alert to consult a physician, ensuring optimal health.
The ease of use and the comprehensive functionality of the Withings app, including explanatory tutorials, add to the user-friendly experience. The construction of the scale is solid, and with a durable lithium battery that lasts up to a year, the scale assures longevity. The scale also shines in its ability to accommodate multiple users, making it a great choice for families. It can recognize and differentiate up to 8 users automatically, providing personalized data for each individual. This data is then synced over Wi-Fi to their respective accounts on the Withings app, allowing each family member to track their health metrics independently.
In conclusion, the Withings Body Scan scale is an outstanding tool for health enthusiasts seeking an in-depth understanding of their body's health. With its host of invaluable features and metrics combined with an intuitive app, it's a worthwhile investment for your wellbeing.
