WithingsBody - Digital Wi-Fi Smart Scale with Automatic Smartphone App Sync, BMI, Multi-User Friendly, with Pregnancy Tracker & Baby Mode

The trick to setting up the WiFi connection is to do it via the Withings smartphone app (unfortunately).It tracks your weight and transmits results to the Withings app plus others, such as Fitbit, Cronometer, MyFitnessPal, and generates a graph to show your progress or to give you an incentive to try harder.I had the earlier model, which worked flawlessly for more than a decade. It still works for weight, but it stopped tracking BMI, which isn't a good indicator anyway according to recent science, and weather, which I don't need scales to do. But it was clearly starting to fail despite years of reliable service, so I ordered this newer model, which is the simplest one Withings sells. I highly recommend it.I'm pretty sure that this is the ONLY Withings Wi-Fi scale that does not send a small electrical current through the person's body when they're on it to weight themselves. People with pacemakers, implanted heart monitors (loop recorders) and similar implanted devices can use this one, a Withings rep told me, because it does not do that.

TL;DR - While it's a bit of a pain to set up at first, it works flawlessly after and gets out of your wayThe Good:- Connects with fitbit app- Connect it once when you set it up, then forget about it. All weighings are automatically pushed to wherever you set it up to push them (fitbit app, withings app, apple fitness)- Accurate- Weighs quickly without the need to "tap it first"The Meh:- Setting it up is a bit of a process. Took me about a half an hour and a couple of failed startsThe Bad:- It does send your stats to a server that Withings runs, if you want to have it auto-sync (which is the primary reason to get it). That said, if auto-sync is a feature you want, you won't find anything in this price range that doesn't do that.Before this, I had bought a fitbit aria scale, because I wanted to track my weight in the same place as my calories and sleep. The aria scale had two major problems:1 - the aria requires you to pull out your phone, hit some buttons, stand on the scale, and wait for it to connect to save your measurements. Huge pain in the still-too-large behind.2 - the aria is accurate +/- ~7 lbs. Which is to say, it isn't accurate.This scale has no such problems.Setup is a little bit of a hassle, but it only needs to be done once.

I bought this scale because I didn't need all the extra features that a smart scale usually has. I don't believe those scales can give accurate count on some of the obscure metrics. I don't believe that by sending a small electric current those scales can accurately give me fat % around my organs. Nor do I care, to be honest. I only want to monitor my weight. I had a difficult time finding a scale that did not have the electric sensors on it. I didn't want to send a small electric current through my body for data I don't want. After a lot of searching, I found this scale.This scale has worked great so far. The setup was very easy and intuitive. The app is user friendly as well. This scale also very easily lets me setup different profiles for my wife and kids. When I step on the scale, it knows me by my weight and records my weight to my account. When my wife uses it, the weight goes to her account. You don't need to select any user account before stepping on. The scale figures it out.A really nice additional feature is the graph that is shown on the screen at each weigh in. You can see your last few weigh ins and how you are trending. This is perhaps the most important, as individual weight can fluctuate day to day. It's the trends that matter, and with this scale you can see the trends every day.Using this scale each day is a great way to track your weight and make sure you are worrying about trends, not daily fluctuations. The app provides a nice regression line that evens out the fluctuations. I've been very pleased with this scale and would highly recommend it.

I just spent over an hour cleaning up razor sharp glass fragments from my bathroom floor after my Withings WIFI-enabled scale shattered into hundreds of pieces when it collided with the base of the toilet. That collision was NOT a small car crash ... it was a slight tap on the corner and the whole thing transformed into a spiderweb of fragments, all too many spewing onto the floor out to a radius of four feet. Withings offered me a coupon for 25% off and when I declined and said I'd prefer trying another brand they offered a coupon for 50% off and free shipping. And then they said they had run out of coupons. The WIFI was intermittent, the app was amateurish code and it always took at least three readings to get a repeatable weight measurement. Time to move on. Funny thing ... it reminded me of Elon Musk's debacle with the Cyber Truck "armor glass" windows. ADDENDUM: two days later they did come through with the 50% discount and free shipping. I went with an alternative company, recommended by Consumer Reports, that is $20 cheaper than the discounted Withings.
