Withings Body - Wi-Fi Smart Scale Tracks BMI, Digital Weight Bathroom Scale, App Sync Via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, Black

Our fourth Withings scale in about 13 years. We first purchased our first Withings scale many years ago before Withings sold the company to Nokia. These scales became an essential part of our life, mainly because of their accuracy and integration with Apple health. They have one issue which is that they only tend to last about three years before needing replacing for one reason or another. Our last Withings scale was one of their more expensive models which had a built in rechargeable battery which would no longer take a charge. The company was sold by Nokia and is now trading as Withings again. Because of the lack of longevity issue we purchased the £59 base body model this time and find it as accurate as the £150 model we had previously. Thie Body model uses AAA batteries which means we are not reliant on the inaccessible rechargeable battery. Th Body model, seems to be just as accurate as the higher priced range and includes all the basic functions, weight, BMI, trend graph, reliable WiFi connection and weather forecast but lacks any of the premium heart and blood circulation measurements which I get from my watch anyway. If you can afford to buy a replacement after two to four years use I would recommend Withings Great value for a well known brand although cheaper scales are available. Someone mentioned the need to pay a subscription - I don’t know where that came from, I have never been asked to subscribe, neither do I get any annoying marketing emails. Great product all round.

This is a Which? Best Buy and its review details why. The digital display is easy to read, showing weight and BMI. There is additionally a graph with weight trends in the form of spots joined by a wavy line. The display also has a bar showing the ideal BMI (when you have set up height data in the app) and an arrow pointing to where one currently is in relation to that ideal figure. The scale also shows clearly the weight difference compared to the last weigh-in. It is possible to set measurements to be metric or imperial, thereby suiting everyone's way of thinking. The scale synchronises with the app. The application shows more details about weight trends. It is possible to obtain more health statistics, but these are available only with a paid subscription. Personally, I don't think that the subscription is worth buying. A good activity tracker provides the data for a one-off purchase cost. I have the Xiaomi Smart Band 9 Pro. It is a lovely little device that provides a lot of information. Please look for my four-star review on the Amazon site.

Took a little while to complete the registration process and pair up using the app which you have to download onto your smartphone. However it successfully differentiates the 4 people in my family. (it does this automatically based on your weight history which is fine if you are different weights eg child and adult but I don't know how it would perform if the people were close in weight). I use it with my iPhone and it uploads instantly to the Nokia HealthMate app which can be linked to the Apple Health app for tracking. There are other models in the range which offer heart rate and bone density functions but this one does all I need. Really pleased with the unit but do question the need for it to give me the weather forecast when weighing myself!

This is now the third 'smart scale' that I have tried. The first one was the Exzact EX912 which didn't work properly and then the Salter MiBody (Model No. 9159 BK3R) and that didn't work properly either. Thanks goodness for the excellent Amazon returns policy! At last I have found one that works perfectly, the Nokia Body. I am guessing as the Body+ is similar that would work just as well I first connected the Body via WiFi and synced it to my iPhone x using the Nokia Health Mate App which was easy, the scales then did an update of it's software which took just a few minutes and the Health Mate App lets you know the % completed. The scales then says Ready Using the Health Mate App was straight forward and I set up my user profile in a couple of minutes, I also set a weight goal on the App Once the scales and App were set up correctly I changed the scales to use a Bluetooth connection to my iPhone x instead of WiFi as I don't always have WiFi turned on. Again the scales and the App 'talked' to each other with no problems As soon as you stand on the Body it starts up, recognises the correct user profile and displays your name on the screen, and sends the data to the App I've now tried over 10 times to stand on the scale and have it transmit the data to the App, using Bluetooth, and it's worked perfectly every time The other cool thing is that you don't need to have the App open at the time you use the Body, and have it transmit the data, as it picks the data up the next time you open up the App As I wanted to use the Body on a carpeted floor I installed the included carpet feet and as far as accuracy is concerned I think they are spot on as just a couple of hours earlier I was weighed at my 'weigh in' (on a diet!) with some very expensive scales and they matched 100% I honestly can't understand why some reviewers have not given these scales at least 4 stars as they are faultless in their operation I am very happy indeed with my Nokia Body and would advise against so called 'cheaper' models as in my experience they don't work reliably

I bought the scales on the basis of the excellent report in which magazine. I spent hours trying to link the scales to my iPhone 16 without success. I spent over an hour with customer support online also trying to help but this didn’t work. What they explained is that there is a compatibility issue with the current software of Withings app and scales which result in setup failure. The developers are working with Apple to resolve the issue as quickly as possible, but they don’t know when this will happen. So for the time being, I would advise anyone with an apple iPhone. (mine is 16.) to not buy this product at the moment. I’m sure they will get it sorted in the future but would be worth you checking that the compatibility issue has been sorted before you buy it.

I bought these, despite the relatively high price because I wanted good quality, accurate electronic scales. I have previously found other cheaper types show different readings even when just stepping on and off repeatedly. I was not disappointed. I was initially unsure about allowing all the access asked for, but decided that I was not that bothered about keeping such details secret; almost everything on-line is ultimately hackable anyway! These are VERY accurate and easy to set up following the instructions in the app, downloading of which is essential to access features other than basic weight display. I like the way they can automatically recognise me or my wife and log the readings to provide an immediate graphic display of weight trend over the past 7 days and a weekly email report of averages. I also like that I can comment on, or delete, atypical individual readings caused by an over-full stomach or slight dehydration (yes the scale is that sensitive!) The display also shows if you are standing unevenly on the scales and how to correct. I have not explored the several other facilities which require using wearable gadgets but may do in future. All in all, I am very happy after several months use.

I bought these scales partly because of the excellent rating in Which. I've looked again at the pre- purchase information and can't find anything that says the tracking via wifi stops after 14 days unless you pay about £9 a month subscription - more than the price of the scales! The scales themselves are excellent - sturdy, stable and easy to read. However, they are comparatively expensive without the additional tracking feature.

Withings Body - Wi-Fi Smart Scale - Very Impressed ! I chose the 'Body' model because I only want to record weight & BMI and not interested in the other features on some of the other more expensive Withings models. Set-up was all automated and very easy. I had already installed the withings app on my IOS device and had already linked a diet app and apple health to withings app prior to purchasing the scales. Powered the scales up and let the app do the rest. Roughly five minutes later stood on the scales and my weight appeared on the LCD in kg's. I logged into withings app and it had recorded my weight. Logged into the dieting app and that too had recorded and updated my weight.

Honestly really impressed with this purchase. It functions exactly as advertised and the scale itself is very prompt with all kinds of information once it’s connected. Was easy to connect it to my phone and the app. It is a bit of a splurge if you’re on a budget obviously but worth it I feel. Also, a highlight for me was that it came with its own batteries, and not just Amazon basics, Duracell! Highly reccomend this scale for keeping a close and precise eye on weight fluctuations, also, for those like myself with a higher weight to keep track of. This scale has got you, confidently.

It's too good and long life and accurate

Very simple and accurate

Waga działa dobrze. Rozpoznaje użytkowników. Usunąłem krytykę software, bo po aktualizacjach działa zasadniczo niezawodnie, przynajmniej jeśli chodzi o synchronizację z Apple Health

Super!!!
