Withings Body Smart Scale (Black)

I admittedly never considered a scale as anything more than a way to track your weight loss or gain so the idea of the Withings Body Smart Advanced Body Composition Scale intrigued me. With a family history of various health concerns I have started to pay attention to as much of my health details as possible using various smart devices and apps to help me better understand things.Setting this scale up was fairly simple. Downloading the Withings app and following the guided prompts made it quick although an update was required and slowed things down a little. Once past all of that I was able to setup my profile and connect the data recorded by the scale to my iPhone Health App as well as other apps that I use so that an even wider collection of my health data could ... MoreI admittedly never considered a scale as anything more than a way to track your weight loss or gain so the idea of the Withings Body Smart Advanced Body Composition Scale intrigued me. With a family history of various health concerns I have started to pay attention to as much of my health details as possible using various smart devices and apps to help me better understand things.Setting this scale up was fairly simple. Downloading the Withings app and following the guided prompts made it quick although an update was required and slowed things down a little. Once past all of that I was able to setup my profile and connect the data recorded by the scale to my iPhone Health App as well as other apps that I use so that an even wider collection of my health data could be compiled. Being able to share a report that includes your data like weight details like BMI and Fat Mass, Resting Heart Rate, Activity details, etc is also extremely helpful.Seeing info that delves deeper than just my weight in pounds was eye opening. The Body Composition Breakdown was especially refreshing giving details or Visceral Fat Index, Lean Mass, Water Mass, etc as well as the corresponding result made it clear what areas needed to be worked on and where I was doing well. There is also an area where you can track your food intake. Although the app shares data with other apps that I choose as well as the iPhone Health App there are a few places you can view all or almost all of the data instead of relying on each individual app, but the insights and informative info provided in the Withings app definitely makes it beneficial to use the Withings App frequently. There are some tracking options that require other Withings products if interested but I found that it's not necessary if you have other devices that already track that data. It is also a nice touch to see info like local air quality appear on the scale screen after weighing yourself for the day. It's not a need but it's a nice feature to see along with the other info that cycles through (such as the BMI info and others that will also be seen in the app if you are like me and sometimes don't fully pay attention to the details cycling on the scale).Overall this is a product I never realized that I needed but completely appreciate now.

This scale is pretty large and glossy look. The display is LCD and letters are easy to read during measurements.This scale monitors full body composition: weight, BMI, total body fat, water percentage, muscle and bone mass, Visceral Fat Index estimates the amount of fat stored around organs in abdomen, Basal Metabolic Rate how many calories body burns at rest, and heart rate at every weigh-in. Withings uses position control technology, a unique body position detector to get accurate measurements. It can track up to 8 users independently.I have invited my family numbers and they were able to track their health information. It is easy to see family members information from the drop down. It is compatible with Apple Health, Google Health, MyFitnessPal, Lose It!, Weight Watchers, train for a race with Runkeeper, Runtastic and MapMyRun. The measurements are very accurate and instant. It is great to see heartbeat, weight, body composition in one place and it shows air quality and weather as well. It is a great smart scale and highly recommend using it to track health related information.

I lead a pretty healthy lifestyle and always monitored my weight with daily measurements, keeping a mental golf score-type running memory of my last weight to ensure that I’m not taken off guard. If this morning’s weight was a number greater than I wanted to see, I try to be on my best behavior during the day. I always thought this approach was good enough – but realized how wrong I was when I experienced Withings’ Body Smart scale. Of course, I am given my morning weight as before, but now I have the power of a wealth of data the scale provides in an instant enabling me to better understand my body and its trends. I easily paired the scale with the free Withings app (which also is able to read and write to my Apple Health account and automatically accommodate ... MoreI lead a pretty healthy lifestyle and always monitored my weight with daily measurements, keeping a mental golf score-type running memory of my last weight to ensure that I’m not taken off guard.

Of course, I am given my morning weight as before, but now I have the power of a wealth of data the scale provides in an instant enabling me to better understand my body and its trends. I easily paired the scale with the free Withings app (which also is able to read and write to my Apple Health account and automatically accommodate multiple users) which has a clean and intuitive design that maintains easy access to the history of my data and provides motivating achievement notifications. Because the scale is WiFi-based (and not Bluetooth like my previous scale) my data is synched almost instantly without the need to have the app open – this is HUGE (I used to have to frequently re-pair my scale which really decreased my motivation to rely on it). The profile of the scale is modern and sleek, but what’s most impressive is the full color display that provides trend charts (and the batteries reportedly last 15 months!). Included body metrics are muscle mass, BMI, body water, fat mass, and more. The depth of the data, refined presentation, and constant availability of data have made it a treasured tool in my fitness and I cannot imagine not having it! Thanks, Withings – this one is a homerun!
