TL;DR - While it's a bit of a pain to set up at first, it works flawlessly after and gets out of your way The Good: - Connects with fitbit app - Connect it once when you set it up, then forget about it. All weighings are automatically pushed to wherever you set it up to push them (fitbit app, withings app, apple fitness) - Accurate - Weighs quickly without the need to "tap it first" The Meh: - Setting it up is a bit of a process. Took me about a half an hour and a couple of failed starts The Bad: - It does send your stats to a server that Withings runs, if you want to have it auto-sync (which is the primary reason to get it). That said, if auto-sync is a feature you want, you won't find anything in this price range that doesn't do that. Before this, I had bought a fitbit aria scale, because I wanted to track my weight in the same place as my calories and sleep. The aria scale had two major problems: 1 - the aria requires you to pull out your phone, hit some buttons, stand on the scale, and wait for it to connect to save your measurements. Huge pain in the still-too-large behind. 2 - the aria is accurate +/- ~7 lbs. Which is to say, it isn't accurate. This scale has no such problems. Setup is a little bit of a hassle, but it only needs to be done once.

I have tried a number of electronic scales. This one is more expensive than many, but I have grown to like it. It has better accuracy that most, and shows weight to the nearest 0.1 pound, unlike most. Apparently, this is partly because it guides you to stand in a balanced position on the scale. If your weight is not balanced across the scale, it shows arrows to shift your body until it is balanced -- and then reports the weight. I like the feature where it shows the difference between the current and previous reading, along with a small graph of recent trends. You can also see BMI and other things, but I don't use that feature. The numbers and graph are easy to read. The app allows you to connect the scale to a website using WiFi. Once connected, you can see more historical data on the website, and do other things. The only issue I had was that the scale would not connect to my WiFi extender for some reason. I had to connect to the wireless router directly, but it did that successfully even with a pretty weak signal. For someone who wants an accurate scale, especially one that tracks weight readings, this is a good product. It also interfaces with other health-related devices through the app if that is desired.

The trick to setting up the WiFi connection is to do it via the Withings smartphone app (unfortunately). It tracks your weight and transmits results to the Withings app plus others, such as Fitbit, Cronometer, MyFitnessPal, and generates a graph to show your progress or to give you an incentive to try harder. I had the earlier model, which worked flawlessly for more than a decade. It still works for weight, but it stopped tracking BMI, which isn't a good indicator anyway according to recent science, and weather, which I don't need scales to do. But it was clearly starting to fail despite years of reliable service, so I ordered this newer model, which is the simplest one Withings sells. I highly recommend it. I'm pretty sure that this is the ONLY Withings Wi-Fi scale that does not send a small electrical current through the person's body when they're on it to weight themselves. People with pacemakers, implanted heart monitors (loop recorders) and similar implanted devices can use this one, a Withings rep told me, because it does not do that.

I bought this scale because of its WiFi capability as I need to get the weight measurements from my mother who lives remotely. This scale records and updates the data to the network thru Wifi each day. I open up its app and the weight data will show up in a minute. Before getting this scale I had the Renpho WiFi scale which worked in the beginning. As soon as I moved it to a different WiFi network, it stopped working. I would recommend this scale if WiFi functionality is what you want. The only problem I had was that the initial installation using the app. The app discovers the scale but has problems setting it up using Bluetooth before WiFi kicks in. After the scale updates its software over the air that the app installation was completed successfully so if Withings customers support is reading this, please correct this issue as your Withings app will not install this scale. I tried 5 times using 3 different cell phones and it didn’t install. You will get MANY product returns. My scale is the Body D2 model, software version that got updated was 1181.

The scale itself seems to be fine. The software is trash. The software could be more intuitive, it's not bad but comparatively the lay out could be much improved. They do a bad job of utilizing space and information. Maybe it works, not sure. My biggest gripe is the software functionality. It is terrible to try and get synced. Maybe it's the distance to the router. Why would you create something with 10 ft distance requirement from a scale to a router. That is dumber than dumb, especially considering that a good router placement is likely not within that distance of a good place to put a scale. The Bluetooth option doesn't seem to sync even though connected and device is listed. So basically it is an accurate dumb scale. Go for it if you just need a scale without any smart features. Looking for more, look elsewhere.

Love the Wirthings brand.

The app is very easy to navigate. The scale is perfect size

I know I probably only use a fraction of its functions, but combined with the app, it really is a good scale. However, I think it is inaccurate on the low end. My husband agrees. So I use it more as a gauge on whether I am gaining or losing over time, and focus less on the exact number, because otherwise I get a shock when I go to the doctor's office and see how much I actually weigh.

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

It's too good and long life and accurate

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.
