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

Good product. Looks like it’s good quality. Easy to set up and connects well with Apple health.

Very informative and useful if looking for much more than just weight

First I got this in the Cyber Monday Sale. I have to admit it is an excellent scale that myself and my partner love. Takes a teensy weensy bit of effort to set up but once done works flawlessly. Compared it to my own old trusty Tanita Body Composition scale and the two were very very close, which was reassuring. The app is nice, stepping on the scale updates app within seconds. The graphs are excellent. You can customise the scale to show you only the stats you are interested in. The weather option isn't as gimmicky as you would first believe especially if you do outdoor training. On top of the ability to differentiate between similar weighing users in a fun way (fun to me, you lean one way or the other; twins anyone!) and have the app track steps from your phone which you can then see on your scale the next day. You have a well rounded scale that many casual and hardcore users will appreciate. So why a star lost... Well my old Tanita did a number of things that the much newer Nokia doesn't. Such as Visceral fat, metabolic age, body shape and Basal Metabolic Rate. Though these stats were not going to be very accurate they could be relied on to give you a general trend which was motivating. Since these can be calculated from the way muscle mass and water are measured this doesn't seem like a huge stretch to include especially when in the app you can switch off which stats you want to see. C'est la vie. To summarise well worth your consideration, especially if you can get it on a deal.

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.

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.

I specifically chose and paid more for these scales because I believed I was purchasing a professional-quality product that would be reliable and last for many years. Unfortunately, I have been disappointed by the durability of the product. The sync button has stopped working, meaning the scales can no longer connect to the app. Whilst the scales will still provide a basic weight reading, I am unable to access the detailed body composition and technical data that form a key part of the product's functionality and justify its premium price. What is particularly concerning is that, after looking through customer reviews, I found a number of reports from other users describing very similar issues. Several of these reviews were posted before I made my purchase, which suggests this may be an ongoing product problem rather than an isolated defect. I have been in contact with Withings regarding this issue. While they offered a discount towards the purchase of a replacement product, they declined to repair or replace the scales because they are now outside the warranty period by less than a year. Given the premium cost of the product and the apparent frequency of similar faults, I find this response disappointing. Overall, I expected a far more robust and reliable product. While the scales continue to function as basic scales, the failure of the sync button removes much of the value and functionality that I originally paid for, and has significantly reduced my confidence in the product and its long-term durability.

Quick and easy to set up. Only issue I have is being addicted to see how my weight is going and give lost fat or muscle. Great set of scales for the money

Out of 10: Overall score: 8 Customer experience: 10 Quality: 9 Review: The aesthetic is very good. It is a very good looking balance. The app is great and it is easy to use, It can be improved though. Sometimes it is hard to find your weight metrics as it gives preferences to the other metrics. There has been opportunities where my weight goes off by 3 kg and I have to weight myself 3 or 4 times in the lapse of of 1 min to get the weight right. Overall it is a good product and it helps you to keep track of your body fat and weight. So far I ve used it with only one member, but it recognised very well when someone else use it instead of me and does not register the weight under my account.

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.

We spent a lot of time researching smart scales, and it was honestly hard to decide which one to go with. We ended up purchasing both the Withings Body Smart and the Hume Body Pod to compare them side by side. At first, I thought we would prefer the Hume Body Pod because it analyzes more of the body and provides more detailed body composition data. However, after using both consistently, we definitely prefer the Withings. What we love about the Withings: 1. It feels sturdier and more premium 2. Slightly larger platform, which I personally prefer 3. The screen is significantly better—larger, full color, easier to read, and more visually intuitive 4. Biggest advantage: Wi-Fi connectivity The Wi-Fi feature is a game-changer. You don’t need your phone nearby for the Withings to record your data. It syncs automatically. With the Hume, you must have your phone open and connected during the entire measurement process. I ran into multiple issues where my data didn’t record due to my phone screen timing out before completion or errors. It became frustrating very quickly. While you can adjust phone settings, I don’t want that extra step just to take a measurement. With the Withings, I can simply step on the scale, and everything works seamlessly every time. App comparison: The Hume app might be slightly more detailed at first glance, but once I got used to the Withings app, it provides everything I actually need. Accuracy: Obviously, no home scale is perfect, but when comparing results to past lab data and weigh-ins, the Withings measurements were much more consistent and aligned. The Hume readings were often significantly higher and didn’t seem to correlate as well. Bottom line: The Withings is the clear winner for us. It’s more reliable, easier to use, and fits better into daily life. I also love that our whole family can use it and track progress without any hassle. Highly recommend.

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.

This scale is very accurate, and my wife and I find it very motivating! Setup was easy, and the app is easy to use, and customizable.

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