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.

My requirement was that I wanted to track my weight in the iPhone health app, so then other apps like Strava and My fitness Pal could use the data. It does this well and I’m losing weight. Initial setup was a right pain. It kept failing to pair with the app because it wasn’t establishing a Bluetooth connection quick enough. Had to start the process, switch to settings, manually reconnect it via Bluetooth and then continue. Now it’s set up, it works well. The Health Mate app is a bit chatty with notifications, but not annoying me yet. It also looks like this is no longer a Nokia scale as they’ve sold the company back to the startup that created it, Withings. So it makes my Nokia branded version complete with the LCD typeface feel pretty retro, which I like.

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

This is the cheapest way to join the Withings family and it is well worth it. The scale is great and all but the app is star of the show. If you’re into the data and tracking your metrics then grab this scale and download the app. The iOS experience combined with Apple Watch data is hard to beat. It keeps getting better with each update as well. More and more in depth insights. Individual scale readings every now and again are meaningless; what matters are the averages over a week and trends over a longer period. The app does a great job of tracking and displaying these and many other trends in a very user friendly way. The scale itself is sleek and accurate. I used to use the Fitbit smart scales and enjoyed the Wi-Fi connectivity for hands free syncing (compared to the cheaper Bluetooth scales). This one is much better for a lot less. Also, Fitbit doesn’t let you export your weight data but Withings does. I wouldn’t bother with the more expensive scales offered by Withings. The body fat % estimates are mediocre at best and laughably inaccurate at worst for any smart scale. Save your money and get this one.

Bon rapport qualité prix, fonctionne très bien, données minimalistes, en fait juste le poids et l'indice corporelle, mais semble bien précise
