Withings - Body+ Body Composition Smart Wi-Fi Scale - White

I used to own a smart scale where you have to sync readings via BT to smartphone, that was not convenient. With Withings Body+ its automatically synched via wifi and also gives great insights into body composition.

This is a great scale. We had a Fitbit scale but very user problematic when trying to connect with internet. I had heard good things about the Withings - I’d never heard of it - but I got so frustrated with the Fitbit scale I decided to give this a try. It’s fantastic! There’s an app on your phone that it connects to which keeps all your stats and progress. I highly recommend!

This scale is too expensive to only last two years. I contacted the customer support group and learned there was a hardware issue (only one of the two sides registered weight) that could not be remedied. Because the one year warranty was up, I was offered the opportunity to buy another at 25% off. No thanks. I also bought the Withings sleep analyzer but found it to be extremely inaccurate so I stopped using it.

The data this scale is supposed to track is cool to know, however, I NEVER got a consistent reading of my measurements. The scale is also off. I have two scales that I tested with. I placed 2 15-pound weights on the scales (at the suggestion on WITHINGS due to my issues). My $25 digital scale showed a measurement of 30.0 pounds, while this Body+ scale showed a measurement of 30.4 pounds or 30.3 pounds. This little bit may not seem a lot, but when a scare is advertised to be highly accurate, I would not expect a much cheaper scale to be more accurate. I would weigh myself 2/3 times in a row (waiting 10+ seconds between measurements), different measurements each time. I have reached out to Withings for support but no or little response. I ended up returning this $100 paperweight. While others have raved about this scale, I cannot. Maybe it's a bad unit, I don't know but I was very disappointed in this purchase.

I have used this scale for over a year. I have been working out and lifting. I have been using an inbody to help and thought this scale would help with daily trends. It's all over the place. My weight hasn't change but my body fat is much higher to that compared to the inbody results especialy as time went on. If you are trying to compare mucle mass vs fat mass this isnt the scale. If you are just using as a scale, its fine. Pic 1 is withings healthmate Pic 2 is it inbody

Setup failed and is stuck on step 3. Updating never finishes.

Bought this originally to track weight loss. My regular scale was pretty accurate, but I had to input the number manually in my app, or take pictures for later use. This scale also measures BMI, Muscle and Fat mass, measures water percentage and bone density. Once you step on it, it automatically sends the data to your phone, from there you can use the native app or myfitnesspal to see your progress. 4 starts because body fat and muscle mass are not very accurate, but can still be used as to track progress after a period of time. Weight seems to be pretty accurate and consistent.

I previously used the Tanita Ironman scale and found the Withings scale comes close to the readings I was getting with that but also will track the information so I can view changes. The glass top looks great but careful not to bump it on edge to a hard surface, I had one before that just shattered in a second when hit against the bathroom tile, rubber bumpers on the edge or allowing the base to protrude beyond the glass edge would be a nice design change here. I keep mine when not in use on a rubber gasket that is stuck to the tile floor to keep out of the way. The carpet feet are a waste of time, they don't work and result in inaccurate readings, this needs to be on a flat hard surface. I generally like the scale, it does what I need, it's easy to set up and I find it reasonably accurate.
