For starters, let me just say that I love this scale. It is, by far, the most comprehensive, fully-featured scale that I have ever owned.
While I like to monitor my weight, I've always believed that measuring body fat percentage is a better gauge of determining your health since weight doesn't consider muscle mass. This scale does just that, and so much more. Of course, like all body fat scales, you'll need to weigh yourself barefooted since it uses bioelectrical impedance to measure body fat, but this is common. (Note: if you have a pacemaker, you should NOT use this scale or any other with BI technology as it can cause your pacemaker to malfunction.)
Beyond weight and body fat measurements, this scale does it all and then some. It also measures heartrate, air quality and it even tells you what the weather will look like for the day. What's particularly amazing is that the scale will automatically identify up to 10 people when they step on it by remembering prior measurements. This is incredibly convenient.
The scale also comes with a companion app for iOS (but I don't think one is available for Android) that works great to monitor your health long-term, and the app also syncs with HealthKit, MyFitnessPal and many more apps, which makes it super simple to streamline into any lifestyle where monitoring your health is important to you.
Like any scale, I can't really say how 'accurate' the weight and body fat measurements are since I don't have a calibration weight, but I can testify to the scales consistency. The scale is EXTREMELY consistent.
I only have two small complaints with the scale. First and foremost, the scale comes with optional feet for which to use in carpeted situations, but the scale simply is not accurate on carpet--like most scales. Secondly, the scale is very expensive. It was $30 more expensive than any other scale in the store but I bought it based on the glowing recommendations, and after owning it for a while, I'm glad I did. That being said, I still think the scale is a bit overpriced, but if you're willing to pay the premium for features and reliability, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Bought this to replace an older smart scale. Works great and cant complain about the setup. Follow the instructions and you will be fine. We use it daily to track weight loss and muscle mass/ BMI. Best thing of all is how the iphone and withings apps work seamlessly together to give you a bigger picture of you health. I would also suggest the myfitness app as they all work together. I would give this 5 stars but the scale rarely finds my heart rate.

Overall been very happy with the scale. Does not always read out heart rate as it is suppose to do and not sure how accurate the body fat analyzer is as it seems to be quite different from day to day. Weight is all I really wanted and for it to be logged on the app and it does a great job for that.

Since purchasing the scales I have weighed in weekly but found that the measurement were vastly different than what I weighed at my doctor's office. In regard to the set up it was easy and was set up and functioning within minutes. The scales measure weight, body fat, BMI, the temperature in the room as well as the air quality. After weighing in it automatically sends your weight to the witherings app where you can see your progress as well as check your activity levels. The appearance of the scale is sleek and clean. Overall it has been a good additional to my weight loss plan.

Being a weight loss patient, I really needed a scale that would weigh me the same as my surgeon's office so I could get an accurate reading. Well, this scale is awesome and it in fact matches and weighs the same as theirs.
It also tells me how my weight loss is progressing and keeps track of all weight loss and tells me if my heart is in the healthy mode or not. Tracks my in home levels of air quality and even gives me inside and outside temp readings. Love the app too! Pairs flawlessly with it.
I normally would never pay that much for a scale but all the cheap ones never weigh right and are always off. This one is helping me tremendously with my weight loss and I don't care if my sister said that was way too much to pay, but hey, it's my money and I'm the one that has went through a life changing event ...not her. I think that was selfish of her to judge how I want to live my life and take care of myself with whatever tools I deem necessary for my goals.

Like the automatic tracking. Don't see the point of the weather feature. Does not consistently pick up my heart rate but it always seems to record my husband's. It automatically senses which one of us is on the scale and uploads our respective weights. The connection to My Fitness Pal works well so my weight automatically goes to that site as well. However, My Fitness Pal and Withings does not handle syncing two people's weights so we had to disconnect my husband from Withings and My Fitness Pal so my weight would synch correctly.

Promising until we broke it

Wife had some issue setting up at first but she seem to work through them quickly. We only had it for 3 days when my 6 year old knocked our old scale off the tub and shattered the new one. I do have to say the new one is made from safety glass and nobody got cut. Other than my son crying because he broke mom's new scale everyone is fine. Nice enough, I am considering buying another one, but I might just go with the WS-30 instead. Be aware that you can break this scale if some thing heavy drops on in or I suppose if you drop it. My old scale had been dropped a few times and worse so I was not expecting that my new scale to get broken, I want to say "that easy" but my old scale is a tank.

It's an awesome tool for keeping updates on your health and boost you to do something if you are in serious weight management . Only downside is the heart rate monitor don't work well as I thought . It works when it works . I would say 50% of time . Other than that , it's a great buy . Good integration with jaebone and other apps . You will not regret

I got a good deal on this scale, easy to connect to my home wifi when I got it home. It works great, sometimes unable to give heartrate readings but I love the connection to the app so I can track weight and body fat measurements.

If you're like me and jumping on the body metrics band wagon this is probably the scale for you it's got a ton of features easy to setup and there in the first "problem" lays.
The scale can connect to your WIFI and push notification to the Withings app however that's also what the Bluetooth does unfortunately you never really know if you're on a WIFI network unless there is rain in the forecast, at which point a symbol of an umbrella will appear on the second or third screen. (I believe there was a recent firmware update that gives you the up coming forecast rain or shine)
According to Jawbone it works with Withings which is partially true it will record your weight however even though the app records steps it will not record Jawbone steps only Apple iOS Health steps so it you're like me and have an active job and leave my phone on my desk for charging or safety it won't record your steps.
It will add another app for you to peruse unfortunately with non intuitive graphs. Maybe a future firmware update will clear up some of the confusion time will tell.

The withing scale offers great flexibility in tracking weight, heart rate and body fat content. The device is easy to set up and syncs effortlessly with any smart phone. The only feature I have been disappointed at missing is the hydration level indicator. But does the job overall.

I bought this scale when my old scale died. It measures no better or worse than any other scale on the market but the integration with IOS apps is what I love. I stand on it ritually everyday because I know, whether I pay attention or not, my FITBIT app on IOS will get updated with my weight. That's a small feature for the price of the scale.....but exactly what I wanted....tight integration with my other fitness apps with little effort.....and this scales offers that.

The Smart Body Analyzer does everything it promises. It is simple to set up and use. The heart rate monitor is the only thing I am skeptical about. I use a couple different tools to measure heart rate and the Smart Body Analyzer is the most inaccurate. Highly recommended.

Love the fact that I can seamlessly track my weight with this scale... My fitness data with my Withings Pop watch... And my blood pressure with the Withings BP cuff. Since we keep our scale in our basement the air quality feature is not a big feature for us but at least I know it is always about 62 degrees with good CO readings. LOL. Connected effortlessly and seamlessly with both our wireless network and my Withings health app.

For the first time I found an electronic scale that is as accurate as on from the office of my doctor. Superb quality and the sync to my phone is great. As always body fat measurement through this method is iffy but that is due to the method and not the scale.

This scale was fairly simple to set up. Once you configure it and download the software you can easily monitor your weight, body fat and air quality. Software maintains historical record to review data over an extended period of time. Interactive with other products for tracking of blood pressure and other activities.

Took awhile to get the wifi working correctly but once that was taken care of it worked flawlessly. If you don't have wifi it will work with Bluetooth. App works pretty good with it and weight updates can be linked to your my fitness pal. Bottom line I love it and don't regret the price.

Accurate scale, but the heart rate and other features are useless. IF the heart rate sensor actually works, it is always WAY off. I have had it say 57bpm, and when I get off and right back on, it says my heart rate is 98bpm. I have compared against my phone and my S2 watch, and it is NEVER right. My wife has checked as well, and it is the same with her. I am not sure if the CO2 sensor is working or not, as I have no way to test it, but it fluctuates ALL over the maps from 600 to 1100. I will need to find a way to test this.
The good. The scale seems very accurate as does the fat %. I have started running a lot lately, and changed my diet because of what I saw when I first got the scale. I am now (after 2 months) down to 21.5% body fat and still going down.
The App - The android app is ok, as long as you don't want to look at the graphs much. When first starting out, you need to zoom in about 800% just to see your data. Until you get to about 3 months, the data on the graph is about useless.

Love the ability for it to send data automatically to the app and integrate with my iPhone health app. Setup is easy. Automatic recognition of family members is cool!
The one thing that bothers me is consistency in the measurement. Several times it has been way off with arrows on far corners as if something was off. Have to wait for it to reset or move to another location and then try again to get a measurement that is believable.

I use it at least every other day to keep track of my weight and works great syncing the information to the app on my iPhone. Once you see the history on how you are doing, it just motivates you to do better. Works well with other apps as well.
