Customer Ratings & Reviews

The title of my review says it: after using this for the last week and already realizing how amazing and simple for use and accountability this scale is, I am left wondering, why did I take so long to get one? This takes the typically arduous (and, sometimes, embarrassing) process of weighing yourself and then tracking it in the Health app (for iOS) users and totally puts it on autopilot with the easy connection to the Withings app! I am already enjoying watching the trend lines of my body stats plot out and I am going to continue to enjoy it as I start working on some of my weight loss and workout goals! Something to know, first of all, is that this new lineup of Withings smart scales is FSA/HSA eligible. This will be great for those of you wanting to use those expiring FSA funds on something beneficial to your health. Another thing to know from my experience is that while this can be a little finicky to set up with the app at first if you are any kind of tech savvy at all, you will figure it out quickly as the app guides you through the connection and Wi-Fi setup process! The only hang-up I had in the whole process was the firmware update for the scale which I had to restart when it weirdly froze in the middle of it. I just restarted it by removing one of the AAA batteries from the scale (included) and starting the setup process over again. After that, the rest of the setup was easy and I was up and rolling, able to send my wife the invite link from the app so we could get both of our profiles set up! Now, using this scale with two or more users: could not be easier! When you step on the scale, it takes your weight and before it records it, it flashes your name up on the screen with a prompt to shift your weight right or left to move to the next name if needed to continue the setup! My wife and I are able to effortlessly change who is being tracked when we each use the scale and we are both successfully logging our stats in our separate Withings app profiles on each of our phones! Another thing I wanted to mention is that I think that Withings needs to update the pictures on the product page for the device because the screen images look WAAAYYY better than the old black and pixelated boxes on the previous screen. I actually was astonished when I first used this scale at how nice the color screen looks listing out all of my metrics like weight, muscle mass, body fat, etc. Altogether, this specific scale at this price point is going to offer what most people need in the way of basic body composition stats and smart tracking. Some are going to want to opt for the nearly double-in-price model that “does it all” including scanning nerves, but I did not feel that was necessary for my present health standing. Thanks for reading and I hope this review helps with some good pointers!

TLDR: An extremely attractive scale with a bright, colorful, and easy to read screen. That is easy to get on/off of that measures extremely fast, and delivers that information to your phone via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth easily. The App itself can be paired with your Apple Health allowing you to get all your health information in a single app. Making it easy to track or maintain your health goals. I’ve found it to be incredibly helpful in tracking my body fat, visceral fat, and muscle percentages to ensure that I am doing the correct training and diet. But I’m not fully sure how accurate or inaccurate the scale is. The scale itself is extremely attractive and is plenty large to be able to easily get on and off it. It also is very sturdy where when I place one foot on it doesn’t wobble or offset itself. However, it is extremely glossy which makes it look premium but also means you’ll notice when it is dirty easier (dust). Which is probably a good thing. But it never held onto my footprints. The screen is also large, bright, colorful, and extremely sharp. Making it super easy to read. Readings come in extremely fast and then go through several screens notifying you of whatever you are tracking. Or if you don’t want to see the results you can do blind mode (which I think is awesome). As the scale can certainly appear to be our enemy sometimes. Personally, I find making sure that I am weighing daily helps keep me at healthier weight as I can see my trends. This scale allows you to go all out in your tracking if you so wish. I personally go with my weight, body fat, muscle, visceral fat, weather, air quality, and standing heart rate each morning. For weight it will show you a graph of where you’ve been so you can see if you’re increasing, decreasing, or steady. With body fat and muscle, it is a percentage. Then visceral fat and air quality outside it will show what is the healthy range and where you sit. The best part of this is that you don’t have to have your phone on you or connected via Bluetooth to get the readings. As it can be done either through Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. Where with my old scale if I didn’t have my phone and the app open it wouldn’t track it. This is much easier. Which takes us to the app. The app seems to have tracking for everything which can be a bit overwhelming. I set it up so it would assimilate all my Apple Health info (as I use an iPhone and Apple Watch) which it does seamlessly. Allowing me to get all my important health info in a single app. Which I greatly appreciate. If you are wanting to track additional things, Withing’s has a ton of products that you can buy separately for that as well. But I couldn’t figure out a way to organize the tiles so that I could see the things I wanted to look at most at the top. Instead, I had to scroll through everything. I do like that on the bottom it will tell you a quick snapshot of normal, healthy, stable, losing fat, gaining muscle, etc. (so for example Weight: X lbs. on the bottom will say “stable weight”). Then if you click into it will show you a graph with the trend. That you can also see more broken down by scrolling down or looking the week, month, quarter, year, or all. I also enjoy that it can give you cards of your snapshot information (“your body fat is decreasing”). Along with giving you Health information such as “tackling myth does muscle weigh more than fat” or explaining complex carbs. Essentially, what I’m saying is there is a ton of information and benefit here if you so wish. Last, accuracy. I have no way of knowing how accurate or inaccurate this scale is. Especially the weight, body fat, and muscle percentage. As that is what I personally go off over BMI. As I find BMI to not be a good indicator. As if you have a lot of muscle like I do you come off in the overweight/obese range despite having acceptable or low body fat percentage. I also think it is more helpful to focus on the trend of body fat/muscle. As if your weight is going up due to working out but you don’t know that you are gaining muscle and losing fat then that can mentally wreck you. With this scale you are able to look at that so you know despite my weight going up I am getting healthier and I am making progress. Which I think is the biggest selling point to a scale like this. I did find those numbers to be higher than my cheaper scale (19% body fat on cheaper scale 20% on this one). Weight was essentially the same. But I had to put on “athlete” or something mode. Otherwise it had my body fat percentage at 29%. Which is simply not correct. So seeing a huge swing of 10% based on a flip of a switch was a bit concerning to me.

Of all the research I did, I ultimately decided to purchase this smart scale. I’m glad I did! All the metrics seem to be accurate, set up was easy and it’s designed sleek and elegant. The app is pretty robust and easy to use. The health data does seem pretty accurate when I compare them with a couple other apps I use. Only down side was the higher price point. Recommended.

I admittedly never considered a scale as anything more than a way to track your weight loss or gain so the idea of the Withings Body Smart Advanced Body Composition Scale intrigued me. With a family history of various health concerns I have started to pay attention to as much of my health details as possible using various smart devices and apps to help me better understand things. Setting this scale up was fairly simple. Downloading the Withings app and following the guided prompts made it quick although an update was required and slowed things down a little. Once past all of that I was able to setup my profile and connect the data recorded by the scale to my iPhone Health App as well as other apps that I use so that an even wider collection of my health data could be compiled. Being able to share a report that includes your data like weight details like BMI and Fat Mass, Resting Heart Rate, Activity details, etc is also extremely helpful. Seeing info that delves deeper than just my weight in pounds was eye opening. The Body Composition Breakdown was especially refreshing giving details or Visceral Fat Index, Lean Mass, Water Mass, etc as well as the corresponding result made it clear what areas needed to be worked on and where I was doing well. There is also an area where you can track your food intake. Although the app shares data with other apps that I choose as well as the iPhone Health App there are a few places you can view all or almost all of the data instead of relying on each individual app, but the insights and informative info provided in the Withings app definitely makes it beneficial to use the Withings App frequently. There are some tracking options that require other Withings products if interested but I found that it's not necessary if you have other devices that already track that data. It is also a nice touch to see info like local air quality appear on the scale screen after weighing yourself for the day. It's not a need but it's a nice feature to see along with the other info that cycles through (such as the BMI info and others that will also be seen in the app if you are like me and sometimes don't fully pay attention to the details cycling on the scale). Overall this is a product I never realized that I needed but completely appreciate now.

Got this Withings Body+ Smart scale and i can say that after just one week of usage it got me to pay more attention to my weight and vitals. I always say next monday but now i don't have to wait i keep track of my body fat, hearth rate and weight on a daily basis and the coolest thing is that all that it's being send thru the app on my phone which like everyone i use it at all times and that's a good reminder of what i have to do to reach my fitness goals. So out of the box it just looks super nice and it's got a rather large glass surface to place your feet. -They recommend to step on it with your bare feet for an accurate reading and i can agree it is really accurate. -Set it on a hard surface the way it comes out of the box or use the 4 additional legs they provide if you want to set it on the carpet. -Download the Withings app, add the scale to it and set up the wifi. It's verry simple to do it since the scale has a colored screen that will inform you all the steps till completion. The app itself is complex but easy to use and i like the fact it can connect to my apple health app and combine all the information to give me a nice overall picture of what i am doing or i should do to reach my goals every day. -You can have up to 8 users which is very helpful. -The screen on the scale itself it is large and colored so after the initial setup on your phone will display every measuring you told it to so you don't necessarily need your phone to have all the readings(weight, bmi, fat, muscle, visceral fat, water, bone, hearth rate even outside weather and airquality). It's got some arrows in each corner of the screen pointing at where you should position your weight so it will give you the best reading. I would say this is a must have in each household! It's very well money spent for such and accurate device!

It works great as a scale. Expect it to go one or two tenths of a pound different if you're weighing often. I'm enjoying using the app along with my Samsung Health app. Everything that I was hoping for it to be. One thing, the bone mass isn't quite on target. although, that's not my top priority. I get dexa scans for that.

The scale was really easy to setup. Im able to get all the needed information on the screen without having to check my phone like my precious scale.

This scale far exceeded my expectations. It has all the bells and whistles you can imagine and I totally dig the app. If you need to closely monitor your weight this is def the scale for you! Little pricey but has a lot to offer. App is great. Only thing I e noticed is that I go through batteries rather quickly. I think like every 2 months. My previous scale the battery lasted a year but wasn’t as smart!

Very easy set up, very easy to use. It automatically updates on the app so I can see trends over time.

Great with apple health. Easy to set up and use. A little pricey but I waited for it to be on sale and I'm happy with the value for my money.

Easy to set up and has great technology that ties in seamlessly with the app.

Very easy to use once installed. It provides you with a lot of information. The app is user friendly. It gives you each weigh in, as well as your percentage for body fat, bone density, and muscle mass you have. You can also link your IPhone watch to the app.

Now I dont always like what it tells me - i do love all of the info it provides heart rate, BMI, %of visceral fat, weight of muscle and bones. Its really helped me and the integration with the app is amazing.

Accurate but sometimes it doesn’t connect to the app when I weigh myself and I get an error. I have to then get my phone, close the app, open it again, and weigh myself again. Also can be a bit annoying if you just want to weigh yourself in the middle of the day and not add it to the recording, you have to step on and quickly step off before it finalizes

A definite buy This scale has multiple reads weight, bp, heart rate, BMI, to name a few. It links well and consistent to the Withings app. It saves the history, and shows the trends Worth the money. Buy it

Great scale. My old scale was fine but once I upgraded to this one I actually get excited to get on the scale. Love being able to track progress through the app. Maybe the best looking scale as well.

Easy to set up and use. Gives over all picture of body functions ie. weight, pulse, body fat and muscle percentage, and current weather temperature with every use.

I had a scale that was almost twice the price of this one that I had to replace because it stopped working less than a year after buying it. This was a great replacement though. It does everything the other one did with the exception of telling you what your basal metabolic rate is. Though that's something I can calculate. So basically this scale can give you quite a bit of information at half the price of other smart scales. It looks beautiful in my bathroom too so I don't mind having it out. It was easy to set up, and you don't have to be using the app while you weigh yourself to record readings. There are no footprints left after stepping off and it is easy to clean. It's also very encouraging just for using it and keep on using it. Great health device for sure.

Bought this replace one of my generic scales I bought on Amazon a few years back. The weight is accurate and consistent but like most other scales the body composition is anywhere from 10-15% off. I thought the weather pop up would be a gimmick but is actually pretty convient if you weight in in the morning then are going to the gym or for a walk right after. The heart rate seems to work 25% of the time no big deal though cause I have a whoop strap and garmin for that.

amazing scale, accurate and sleek looking. only issue it does give a ton of information. it can be a bit overwhelming. but other than that I think it is wonderful
