WITHINGS Body Smart - Accurate Scale for Body Weight and Fat Percentage, Body Composition Scales Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Weight Scale, Apple Health / Google Fit Compatible, Digital Bathroom Scale

UPDATE: 3 months later and after 2 software updates for the scale and 3 app updates, I am please to say that this device and app are working perfectly and as I had hoped. Now my body fat and BMI are actively being synced to the Apple Health app instead of being stuck in the app. My weight goes directly to Apple Health instead of via MyFitnessPal. I would definitely recommend this to someone looking to monitor their progress using smart devices. ———————————————— This product isn't as smooth and stream line as you would expect. It can be quite buggy and cumbersome when combining it with the Nokia Health Mate app. In a household of 3 people, it will either show an icon saying that it doesn't recognise you at all or it will ask you to let it know who you are by leaning left or right. On the upside to this, if you look through the app, it will let you know that a weighing was made but not assigned to someone, giving you the opportunity to assign it to your self thus triggering the device to identify you the next time. (hopefully) The symbols that pop up on on the device screen are not very helpful and there is no obvious guide to be found, so a lot of guess work is required. I almost decided to return the item when syncing it to the app for the first time didn't work. The issue was that you had to choose the correct product name in order to start the process. However, the actual device name didn't work and I had to select the name of the next model up. The app was recently updated, Jan 2018, and a few of its features are working now instead of giving zero as a weighing result. Overall, if you have the patience, it is a good product. I use it every morning after the gym and so far the data it is giving me is helpful.

After many years of losing half a stone then plateauing and losing interest then reverting back to laying on the sofa eating doritos just to see the weight pile back on seemingly overnight, After some persuading by family I decided to make a good push to lose weight in the new year - signed up to a gym which I goto a couple of times a week (I know, I should go more) and just reduced how much bread and general junk food I eat, I still eat the occasional packet of crisps etc but I don't binge on a sharing bag of doritos every night - my biggest change is probably staying away from chocolate, I often ate multiple chocolate bars in a sitting (one is just too small for a fully grown man!) but I now realise that isn't normal behaviour & that has probably been the hardest thing for me to change - but overall nothing too dramatic/life changing really & at the same time I decided to treat myself to these shiney new wifi scales as my previous smart scales were a good 10 years old and offered questionable accuracy. As per usual, I lost about half a stone and hit the plateau but after checking the app I could see my muscle mass was increasing, as was my water, fat had reduced - weight stayed the same... this went on for a good few weeks, I'd of certainly long given up under normal conditions then the weight started dropping again - now since January I've lost over 2 stone (from 18.12>16.8) and its still gradually coming off & its actually staying off despite the occasional pig out session at Family BBQ's etc I've had Bluetooth scales in the past, but the moment they can't link to your phone or have some sync issue of some sort that connections broken and realistically you'll never 'fix' it and its just clunky, but these being WiFi scales the moment you stand on them they upload the data to the cloud which can then be accessed online / on app with just your login details - never any worries about syncing or opening your phone app to update it etc The Accuracy on these scales is pretty good, I've certainly had a few phantom results for sure but overall the timelines and statistics it provides are accurate enough plus you can easily remove any phantom results with a swipe on the app if you want to keep things tidy. It's a simple thing, not cheap but in the grand scheme of things it was £90 & I can honestly say I wouldn't have lost 2st+ (and continuing) without them.

use it daily after morning shower, send info to my phone so after a month u get a trend- useful heart rate too which can usually flag any heart stuff or BP in advance - if i gain a bit of fat i do low carbs for a week or cut out the wine! - great product and good company

The previous scale broke, hopefully not because of my weight. Being without a functioning bathroom scale for a few weeks has been both a blessing and a curse; especially if this Nokia Scale is telling my weight accurately! The setup for this scale was very straightforward. The weight readings seem fairly consistent and repeatable but the body fat percentage readings have a range of about 3-4% and I'm not entirely sure about the accuracy as I don't have anything to compare against. The readings sync automatically to the Nokia Health Mate app and it's also possible to connect the data to MyFitnessPal. It's quite easy to set it up to recognise other members of the family (using the app) and from thereon the Scale automatically recognises each of them when they step on. Purchased it for £52 as an Amazon Warehouse deal. Functions as advertised, looks great, and has solid build quality. Recommended.

Excellent piece of equipment, so easy to set up and use

After seeing all the positive reviews, I had high hopes for these scales. Unfortunately, they’re not as great as everyone seems to make out. 1 – Accuracy isn’t 100% tbh. It is very easy to do 5 readings and get varying results on each test, I’ve seen it up to 3lbs out over 5 weigh-ins within 90 seconds of each other. I’ve also noticed that depending on how you stand on the scale, you will easily get different results. Stepping onto the scale with your left foot first and then trying again straight away with your right foot first I can get a 2lbs difference in weight. For me personally it seems to not take long enough to allow the reading / scale time to settle when you’re on them. As you know / can see depending how straight you’re standing up the scale weight will change. So, when I get on the weight changes 3-6 times p and down within 1-2 seconds and then bang, it takes the reading. Scales I’ve had in the past, you see it do the same thing. But then you see them level off at a weight and the scale clearly waits 2-3 more seconds before finalising the reading it gives you. With the above always on my mind, it always leaves me thinking about doing another couple of weigh ins in the hopes of getting a more accurate result. But then what’s the point in that? 2 – I believe the scale should show you your weight, fat mass, muscle mass and water on screen. But 75% of the time I don’t get the muscle mass figure appear. Which again leaves me wondering why and what is different to the times when I do get that reading? Also, the calculated readings like fat mass, muscle mass etc are far to erratic tbh. I’m not sure what mathematic calculations they’re using, but my weight can go down and at the same time my BMI can go up and then vice versa. This is the same for all readings, fat mass, muscle mass etc. On the days when I’m weighing less, fat mass and BMI can be up from the days before when I’m weighing more. So this doesn’t fill you with confidence in the scale either. 3 – The app – I like it, it seems like a lot of effort has gone into it from someone or a team. The insights are very good, the way it interacts with you, asking if you would like to know more about x, y and z I think is great. However, if you do take multiple readings at the same time, it records them all and you must delete the ones you don’t want manually. But when they’re all different how do you know what one to delete? You’ll always delete the ones showing you the worst results lol These scales are used by myself and my wife with brand new batteries. We both have the same issues stated above. So, whilst they’re a scale, I don’t have much faith that they’re the best out there, or the best quality / best made. I don't feel I can recommmend these based on my usage.

This is so much more than just scales! The breakdown of fat/muscle/water/visceral fat etc is great. Also if you link your health app to it the APP tracks other items helping it to give you an even bigger picture of your overall health.

If you’re serious about losing weight, or just tracking what you weigh on a regular basis, this bit of kit is for you. It reads out your weight, percentage body fat and heart rate on a tiny screen, before showing a neat little graph conveying how much your weight has gone up and down over time. It will then sync all these metrics to the Apple Health (or Withings) app so you can view your weight loss progress over time. No more having to remember what you weighed last week or writing readings down somewhere. If there are more than one person using the scales, somehow it knows who is who (possibly witchcraft, but I suspect it does this by weight) so your partner’s readings are always kept separate from yours. It’s genius. It’s also a seriously well-designed item that wouldn’t look out of place in an Apple Store. It will certainly not look out of place in a modern bathroom.

Quería una báscula que sincronizase con mi iPhone y la app Salud. Sin duda cumple con creces lo que buscaba. Hace un seguimiento de tus mediciones corporales a través de la app propia de Nokia Health Mate y además la app Salud de apple sincroniza los datos de Peso y Grasa corporal. La app Health Mate es muy completa y tiene un diseño muy cuidado. Se puede usar para registrar otros ejercicios e incluso puede sincronizar las calorías gastadas al andar con la app Salud. Las calorías las calcula automáticamente, cosa que no hace el propio iPhone. Además, puedes registrar varias personas y las reconoce por el peso. Si tiene dudas de quién se está pesando (debido a que pesan parecido), te pregunta y solo tienes que balancearte hacia el lado de la persona correcta.

Inaccurate measurement and complex device to use.. Don't buy its a waste product

Bin mit der Waage wirklich sehr zufrieden. Die Einrichtung war unkompliziert, die Messungen funktionieren zuverlässig und die automatische Übertragung in die App ist sehr angenehm. Besonders gut gefällt mir, dass neben dem Gewicht auch weitere Werte zur Körperzusammensetzung erfasst werden. Mir ist dabei bewusst, dass solche Werte wie Körperfett oder Muskelmasse keine medizinisch exakten Messungen sind, aber gerade um Entwicklungen und Trends über einen längeren Zeitraum zu verfolgen, finde ich sie sehr hilfreich. Auch die Withings-App ist übersichtlich und macht es einfach, den eigenen Verlauf nachzuvollziehen. Die Waage selbst wirkt hochwertig verarbeitet und funktioniert bisher ohne Probleme. Für meinen Anwendungsfall genau das, was ich gesucht habe. Würde ich wieder kaufen.

There are thousands of BMI body fat scales here on Amazon, so choosing one can be overwhelming, and this one is more expensive than others. But I checked out the Withings company and they appear to be the first company that created scales like this which measure BMI, body fat, body water, bone mass etc so I felt more confident that their technology and software would be better and more accurate, and that they would invest in continually improving and developing their tech. I’m sure the accuracy of measurements on any of these scales is not as precise as equipment that would be used in a clinical setting, but overall the measurements are about what I expected so it does seem pretty accurate. And even assuming a margin of error, the consistency of the measurements over time is reliable and a good indicator of the changes within your body if you're trying to lose weight, lower your body fat, or gain muscle, etc. Overall this scale has the look and feel of a quality product, from the packaging to the design and build, as well as the size of the scale (larger than some others I was looking at). The iPhone app installed fine, had a few issues at first connecting my phone to the scale but restarted my phone after installing the app and that seemed to solve the problem. Easily set up multiple users. But note the scale doesn’t work on a 5G wifi network, works fine on 2.4G wifi. The iPhone app is well designed, a clean simple layout that is visually appealing and easy to navigate. It presents the data well and syncs with Apple’s Health app seamlessly. I had never heard of Withings before, but I would buy a product from them again.

Es perfecto para hacer seguimiento del peso y composición corporal. Muy completo
