Body Scan - Connected WiFi Scale to Improve Your Health, BIA Personal Scale, Body Composition Analysis, Body Fat, Muscle Mass, Water Percentage

If you're already using other Withings devices like the BPM Vision blood pressure monitor, Sleep Analyzer, or any of their watches, the Smart Body scale fits right in and completes the picture. I’ve found that the weight tracking is consistent, but it's body composition and health metrics that make this scale worth it. Things like visceral fat, metabolic age, and even the 6-lead ECG give me insight that a basic scale could never do. It also tracks trends clearly, you're not just getting numbers, you're seeing progress. What I like the most is how all the data comes together in the iPhone app. My blood pressure readings from Vision, ECGs, sleep quality, and my daily weight all sync seamlessly. I can open the app and really understand how I'm doing, not just with weight, but with overall health. I'm currently working on weight loss with Zepbound, using CPAP for moderate sleep apnea, and staying on top of supplements and nutrition. This scale in the mix has made a big difference in staying consistent. Even if the scale doesn't move some days, I see other metrics improving, which keeps me from being discouraged. The build quality is great, the screen is easy to read, and the app syncing has never failed. It's one of the few health devices I would buy again without any hesitation.

I have been a Withings scale user for more than 10 years, and other than the Nokia period, I’ve been a big fan. A 1-star review from a longtime brand user should tell you something important. I broke my Body Smart scale and decided to upgrade. I’ve been diligently losing weight and I wanted to target and track building muscle in my legs. When the scale was delivered, I was immediately shocked at the weight. This thing is HEAVY. That may not matter to you if you keep it setup in a stationary location, but due to my bathroom setup, I have to move it every morning. Despite the weight, I was still excited to try it. Setup is cumbersome and there is very little info or support. The first EKG needs to be sent to a third party for review before that feature will work. It’s not a long process (mine cleared in about 2 hours, but the tell you it can take up to 24 hours), but I think it took about 6 attempts before I got a reading that could be reviewed. Most of my readings come back inconclusive. Even as of day 2, I only get inconclusive readings. There could be 2 issues for me: if heart rate is over 100 without AFiB, it fails; I also see that if it detects a bundle branch block it will fail. I have a known right bundle branch block, so maybe the failures make sense, but then I question the few “regular sinus rhythm” readings. Weight, fat, muscle, and visceral fat readings were inconsistent. Every time I stepped on the scale (and I did it a LOT last night when the scale arrived) I had a different reading. Weight fluctuated 8 lbs over 10 readings a span of less than 30 minutes. Even the closest readings on this to those of my Body Smart scale were way off. The scale has decided I am gaining fat and losing muscle (that’s completely wrong) and the app is now showing my BMI as stable, despite having lost 40 lbs in 3 months. As if this scale wasn’t bad enough, I made a monumental effort in trying to get the segmented body comp readings to work. First, your arms and legs cannot touch each other or your torso. This, unless you have a huge thigh gap, you must wear “light clothing.” That suggestion didn’t work. Your feet have to be dry to use the scale, but the app suggested my rabidly comp readings were failing because my feet were dry — that you’re supposed to use the scale right out of the shower. So I did that, too, to no avail. You can’t tell from the scale whether your body comp was successful. It only gives you readings on the display for % fat, % muscle, and visceral fat — the segmented readings are only available through the app, and if they fail, you Geno’s know until you go into the app. Even worse, the app doesn’t tell you most of the time — the readings just aren’t there. Amazon’s return policy is a bit infuriating. Because I opened the scale, my refund will take 30 days after receipt of the product, plus 7 days for bank processing. 37 days for a refund on a $400 brick is unacceptable. And get this — these Black Friday deals? They’re ripping us off!! I fell for it and that’s why I upgraded. I now realize that they raised the prices, are giving a Black Friday discount, but the actual prices are higher than normal. For example, I bought a brand new Body Smart on Amazon for $79.99 in April 2025. The BF deal on the same scale is $109.99! And Amazon’s “price history” tool doesn’t go back far enough to see the true history. But I’ve got receipts!! Seriously…don’t waste your money on this. I am probably going to replace my shattered Body Smart, but I’m so upset with this purchase, I am considering brands other than Withings before I make the purchase.

It is a wonderful medical equipment. I won’t said it is just a scales. If you just want a scale it is sure not for you. I was looking for a smart scale, first is data security. This scale will not send my data to china for example. Because it read ECG, for US law that need to send to a third party to review the first time, make sure I live in US. Then no problem. User manual said EVERYTIME before use it, use a clean damp cloth to wipe the scale to keep the surface damp also hands need to be damp as well ( not wet) . Make sure your arms not touching torso (so wear a t shirt) and legs not touching each other ( so wear a pant) when using the bar, make sure not to bend arms also keep some room from torso. Follow the instructions. I never get an inconclusive result. It is very accurate scale. I am a very happy user. Do not discourage by negative reviews.

UPDATE: A "make it good " person contacted me from WITHINGS. They offered me a coupon on a replacement device (but I had already returned it). The coupon is also good for their new model coming out in early 2026. He also shared that there will be a firmware update for the current device which is supposed to address these concerns. I personally am waiting to see what others experience to see if things improve - at this point I'm not really interested in getting a new device until it is shown to actually be an improvement over the current ~2-3bf% error range I experience with the older unit. ORIGINAL REVIEW: If you are thinking to get the Body Scan because you’re hoping with its handlebar and more electrodes and big price it will be more accurate at measuring body composition, DON’T. I have owned a WITHINGS Body+ for years, and its body fat measurement accuracy is typical of Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) smart scales. It tends to vary during the day by about 2%. I do a DEXA scan every month to get a professional and highly accurate measurement of body fat. Last month, for example, my DEXA was 14.0% in mid-morning and my Body+ showed a high of 13.5% in the morning to a low of 11.2% before bed. Not amazing accuracy but consistent day after day so still useful for tracking progress. I bought the Body Scan because it claimed to be more accurate and could do body composition for arms and legs separately if you use the handle. Seemed reasonable. Imagine my shock when the Scan insisted my bf% was 5.4%! Repeated measurements were always in the range of 5-7%bf. My arms were reported as 2%bf. Impossible numbers, and literally a factor of 2 error compared to DEXA! I tried athlete mode, cleaning the brand new device, resetting and updating, moistening my feet, measuring in a different room, etc. I went through all the suggestions in the troubleshooting. No changes - although in athlete mode it did once say I was 8%. 🧐 Product support chat was frustrating - they had me walk through all the same steps I had already done. I explained about DEXA and how the bf% reading from the Scan was terribly off - a bf of 5.4% was inconceivable. They copied and pasted some marketing text from the web site explaining that if I was comparing the Scan to other scales I should be aware that the Scan was very fancy and therefore a lot more accurate. I pointed out again that fancy or not, 5.4% is clearly very wrong. Eventually they said they would have to escalate to a higher tier of support but it’s been several days and I have heard nothing back even after pinging them. I went looking through support forums and Reddit and found many other users reporting the *exact* same problem, and similarly with no resolution from Support. So I’ll be returning this Body Scan - very disappointing. This wasn’t the only thing off about the unit either - the weather forecast provided was for some place 15F warmer and with poor air quality. Unlike the Body+ there is no place to tell the unit your location. The unit hardware seems rock solid, and I like the app. It’s the firmware algorithms in the unit that sink it. Stay away.

I really wanted to like this scale as I was hoping to get useful body fat, muscle, etc. information, but it just wasn't accurate or reliable. I could only get the body scan to work about 1/3rd of the time. Yes, I was following the instructions and holding my arms away from my body, getting my feet damp, etc., etc., but usually after the minute it takes to do everything (which you can't turn off individually) it would say the body scan failed. This was the sole reason I bought the scale in the first place. I also question the accuracy as after only 10 days the app congratulated me on losing 3 pounds of body fat! I'm not fat to begin with and there is no way this is correct. I've printed the return label and boxed it up - back it goes...

I’ve weighed myself daily for the past 6 years on Withings scales and lost over 20% body fat. Having the scale connect to the app and automatically sync my weight with MyFitnessPal and Apple Health makes tracking and accountability so much easier. The information this scale provides with more points of contact is leaps and bounds better than my old Withings scales. Love their ecosystem of products in this space and helps me keep my health numbers in check.

This scale could be an amazing (though unnecessary) investment in your health if it worked consistently, or had other quality of life improvements to justify the price. I have had the scale for almost a month at this point and have more bad than good to say about it. For starters, the battery life is quite pathetic for being $400 and being used at most once a day for roughly 10 minutes total over the course of a week. The companion app has the connectivity to notify you of a low battery, but doesn’t, or at least does not do so consistently. If you plan to put this scale in your bathroom I hope you have an outlet nearby or you’ll be carting this thing to another room to charge it every couple days. Did I mention you cannot use the $400 scale while it’s plugged in? Next is measurements. Measurements frequently fail or come back inconclusive even when following all guidelines (butt naked, stand still, stand evenly, hold ECG bar without moving hands, etc.). After a month of use I think I have only had two days where I did not have at least one test fail or come back as “Inconclusive” during a session. Hardware. The scale itself is sturdy (surprisingly heavy given the lack of a battery) and the ECG bar is a neat feature. My complaint here is with the included wall mount that is far too weak for the winch inside the scale causing the wall mount to be pulled off the wall over time. Ease of setup. The scale is relatively easy to set up (though it takes a while) thanks to the intuitive instructions given through the app. No complaints here. Overall I think the scale is a great idea, it just needs loads of improvements. I love the data it claims to gather but struggle to accept its validity due to how often measurements fail for no discernible reason. If you are getting this to lose weight, get something cheaper if you want app connectivity. If you are an athlete that wants to track body comp and fitness progress, find another product or wait until another version of this comes out.

I recently purchased the Withings Body Scan. I also own the Smart Body Analyzer and the Body Cardio. All of these worked great for me, which is why I am loyal to the brand. If you simply want to weigh yourself, you don’t need this scale. You can get accurate results with any, much less expensive, modern digital scale. Withings scales offer more than just weight measurements. I use this scale to measure body composition. Some people say that they are not accurate. This scale uses Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). The impedance value, along with other personal information, is used in a formula to ESTIMATE body fat percentage and other body composition factors. Now, this is the newest of the Withings scales, and it takes many other measurements that rely one newer technologies. While all of these technologies have an error rate. To ensure consistent measurements, it is important to use the scale correctly - Being properly hydrated can affect the accuracy of the measurement, as more water can reduce impedance. Additionally, it is important weigh yourself under the same conditions each time. That is, in the morning, before you eat or drink, and after going to the bathroom. I do this and I am very happy with this scale and the consistency of it’s measurements.

Bonjour, J'utilise le body scan dans le cadre d'une remise en forme après trois années d'activité physique restreinte. J'utilise la balance quotidiennement, à la même heure, dans le même environnement, La balance me permet de suivre les résultats d'un programme « maison » de perte de poids, avec un régime alimentaire plus orienté vers une suppression des sucres et matières grasses qu'une privation. Régime associé à au moins une heure de sport intensif par jour. La balance rapporte effectivement les changements de poids, de masse musculaire, de perte de graisse. Je ne suis pas scientifique pour apprécier la précision des résultats, mais la tendance reflète bien l'évolution des efforts fournis. On voit ainsi que la graisse viscérale diminue très, très lentement dans le temps. L'évolution de la masse musculaire est fidèlement reproduite (jambes pour le vélo, corps entier pour le rameur...). Avec le vélo d'appart, j'attrape des jambes de cycliste et effectivement l'application m'indique une prise de muscle et une diminution de la masse de graisse au niveau des jambes. Bon après, on n'a pas besoin d'une balance pour le constater, mais c'est encourageant d’avoir des mesures de résultat et on a un historique. En même temps, la perte de graisse ne se localise pas forcément aux endroits travaillés pendant l'effort. Lors d'une pause dans l'intensité d'activité, la balance indique une diminution du taux métabolique de base alors qu'après une période de forte intensité, ce taux augmente. L'indicateur de composition corporelle varie également en conséquence. Pour l'instant, je n'ai pas constaté de données contradictoires avec mon activité. La fonction ECG paraît précise (j'ai testé en parallèle avec un capteur cardio polar), je ne suis pas cardiologue pour interpréter et apprécier les six dérivations... mais ces informations sont stockées dans l'application withings et peuvent être éditées en pdf. L'utilisation est simple, il suffit de bien respecter les instructions, notamment sur la position corporelle et la tenue de la barre, cela joue sur les résultats. Pour la mesure du poids, il suffit de respecter les préconisations communes à toutes les balances, connectées ou non... Ce n'est pas la peine de monter dessus plusieurs fois par jour, ça ne changera rien et vous risquez d'avoir des variations de 1 à 2 kgs, mais la variation de poids dans la journée est connue de la médecine. La balance présente une bonne qualité de fabrication et de finition. Je n'ai pas assez de recul pour apprécier la fiabilité. Ayant d'autres produits withings qui commencent à dater, j'espère ne pas me tromper en disant que la marque est globalement fiable. Je n'ai pas encore testé le SAV... De toute façon, il faut avoir un minimum de respect du matériel pour que celui-ci dure longtemps. J'utilisais déjà l'application android avec la montre connectée et le tensiomètre withings (anciennes générations), elle est stable, les échanges Bluetooth sont rapides. Avec la balance, montre et tensiomètre, l'application donne les dernières mesures en nombre de pas, de fréquence cardiaque, freq, card moyenne, tension, saturation en oxygène de nuit, qualité du sommeil, poids, composition corporelle, masse hydrique, santé nerveuse, ECG, âgée vasculaire. D'autres données sont accessibles, mais il faut s'abonner à withings+ (il faut avoir les moyens... 100€ l'année). Attention, hormis la balance, j'utilise du matériel d'ancienne génération de la marque, je ne peux donc pas affirmer que la qualité d'hier est toujours au rendez-vous, on a déjà connu des marques qui ont baissé en qualité. ScanWatch Nova et BPM Core sont hors budget pour moi. L'environnement withings est très complet, mais cela reste un investissement. D’ailleurs, grâce au tensiomètre (que je n’utilisais plus depuis des années), je me suis rendu compte que j’avais de l’hypertension. Sans la traiter, hormis en réduisant le sel, j’ai pu suivre l’évolution de ma tension et, avec l’activité physique, j’ai récupéré une tension de bébé ! Je mettrai à jour mon avis si cela est nécessaire, en bien ou en mal. Bonne journée.

Denna våg gissar hejvilt 8% eller 30% kropsfett från mätningar direkt efter varandra. Behåll pengarna och köp en vanlig våg detta funkar uppenbarligen inte alls. Varning när jag returnerade varan så prutade amazon på priset så jag fick inte tillbaka alla mina pengar, det gick bara att acceptera amazons bud eller behålla vågen. Pinsamt tappade 700kr på returen och ingen förklaring på varför.

Bilancia pronta all’uso dopo installazione app e registrazione. Ne avevo già un’altra della stessa marca perciò ho fatto in fretta. È abbastanza robusta e solida, sembra fatta per durare. La barra con gli elettrodi da stringere fra le mani durante la pesata è ottima e funziona bene, serve per la rilevazione di diversi parametri legati all’attività cardiaca e alla scansione del corpo, ma non è obbligatorio usarla sempre, ci si può anche pesare senza barra se non si ha tempo. L’app Withings è completissima anche se potrebbe avere un’interfaccia un po’ più amichevole. Ottima l’integrazione con altre app Apple se avete un iPhone come me. Consigliatissima se volete tenere sotto controllo tanti parametri dlcoroorei oltre al semplice peso. Se invece volete solo pesarvi al volo questa è forse un po’ troppo impegnativa anche come costo, della stessa marca ci sono modelli più semplici ed economici.

Parfait, arrivé rapidement et répond aux attentes.
