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.

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!

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.

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!

I'm upgrading from a more basic 'smart scale' that syncs via Bluetooth. I didn't realize how much more convenient this scale is. I opted for the white scale as it blends better with the light gray tiles in the bathroom I'm using it on. It's all great looking white glass with the metal accent center, except for the black LCD screen. It looks nice. It's powered by 4 AAA alkaline batteries that according to the manufacturer should last over a year. Batteries are included. The scale supports both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi (2.4 Ghz only). Initial pairing was very simple and without issues: Install the Withings app on the phone. Then remove the battery tab from the scale and upon registering it works. It uses Bluetooth for initial setup and the guided installation was clear and did not have any issues with it. Worked on the first try. For reference, we use iPhones. Withings is a French company with a long history of producing health products, so it gives me more confidence that my account information will be handled properly. The scale measures weight at 0.1 lb. precision. It also measures body composition data as muscle mass, fat mass and bone mass, which also breaks down as visceral fat index, lean mass and water mass. It also measures hear rate. Standing on the scale takes a few seconds. It first measures weight, and with that it correlates to who is using it. Then it displays in sequence all the other measurements ending with heart rate. If connected over WiFi, it finishes up by displaying weather and air quality based on internet data. The screen is full color and very easy to read. This is an improvement from older models that have a simpler LED screen. No phone is needed while using the scale. When connected over Wi-Fi, it will sync to the Withings account directly. If WiFi is not available, it does use Bluetooth to connect directly to a phone. It integrates with several other health apps. I'm using it with Apple Health, which is done via the phone and the Withings app. I also use Fitbit and for that I had to search how, but it's simple, via fitbit.com/weight/withings . It can also connect to IFTTT and several other integrations. It seems that this company is ahead when it comes to integrations. My older Bluetooth scale did a poor job of supporting multiple users. This is the best I've seen yet: For adults, it gives the option of either add multiple people to the same Withings account, or each person have their own personal account, which are private from each other: Once the first user adds the scale to their account, they can invite other adults to share the scale. For kids under 16, or for sharing the account, one can add up to 8 users per scale. The scale detects different users by weight. Our kids are close in weight so this is not perfect. If it gets the wrong user, there are two choices: Either get off the scale, in which the measurement will go to a special section on the app that allows to assign it to the right user, or one can quickly step on one foot on the scale to select the correct user. The more the scale is used, this should work better. It's not perfect but it's better than other solutions. Subscription: Of course Withings offers different health coach subscription plans that works better if one has more than just the scale, but there is no requirement to actually pay for a subscription to get the raw data from the scale. They're not pushy so far on the app. Overall it's a fantastic scale. Withings is a very reputable French company with a good track record. At some point they used to be part of Nokia but they've been independent again for some years now. The Wi-Fi + Bluetooth system makes a great difference and the multi-user setup actually works. Screen is very nice and it's superior to other scales. Withings has other models of scales that cost two or three times more that provide more advanced data although this is model is the sweet spot for us.

This scale is accurate and syncs quickly to the accompanying app. Both are super easy to use.

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.

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.

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

Extremely accurate and tells you if you are dehydrated and will give you the weather for the day. It gives you daily goals to reach. This just wonderful and it’s connects to your Apple phone

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 to replace my very old Aria scale. I love this. its accurate and interactive with your phone.

Overall, really love this scale. It has helped me measure progress so easily. App is pretty good and integration with Apple Health is seamless. Don't feel like I'm missing out on any features from the more expensive models. Seems to give accurate measurements. Only complaint is about heart rate measurement, doesn't work most of the time and when it does it's wildly inaccurate.

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

The scale works better than other digital scales. On the app, you can pair it with other fitness apps. I pair it with Samsung health. It doesn't always read the heartbeat. It keeps track of whether or not you're loosing or gaining weight. Gives you the reading of your visceral fat level. If you pair it with another fitness app that pairs with your smartwatch. It will count your steps as well. Its a good scale to get.

Love this scale. The app provides a detailed report of body composition, trends over time and lots of education around why these numbers are important. It is also very accurate when I compare with the InBody scale I use at the gym.

I was looking for an updated scale, and Noom recommended this one. It really delivers! Simple setup, easy use, compatibility with many health-related apps. Five stars!
