WithingsBody - Digital Wi-Fi Smart Scale with Automatic Smartphone App Sync, BMI, Multi-User Friendly, with Pregnancy Tracker & Baby Mode

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.

TL;DR - While it's a bit of a pain to set up at first, it works flawlessly after and gets out of your wayThe 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 startsThe 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 rarely use the app, but this is great for tracking weight long term via the Health App on iPhone. Also enjoy the feature showing difference between the most recent weigh in, since I don't look at historical weight that often.It can also identify different people (if average weights are different enough), so I can keep track of my dog's weight as well as my own.Batteries last for a very long time.

I just spent over an hour cleaning up razor sharp glass fragments from my bathroom floor after my Withings WIFI-enabled scale shattered into hundreds of pieces when it collided with the base of the toilet. That collision was NOT a small car crash ... it was a slight tap on the corner and the whole thing transformed into a spiderweb of fragments, all too many spewing onto the floor out to a radius of four feet. Withings offered me a coupon for 25% off and when I declined and said I'd prefer trying another brand they offered a coupon for 50% off and free shipping. And then they said they had run out of coupons. The WIFI was intermittent, the app was amateurish code and it always took at least three readings to get a repeatable weight measurement. Time to move on. Funny thing ... it reminded me of Elon Musk's debacle with the Cyber Truck "armor glass" windows. ADDENDUM: two days later they did come through with the 50% discount and free shipping. I went with an alternative company, recommended by Consumer Reports, that is $20 cheaper than the discounted Withings.

Bought this Withings Body scale to replace a crappy Etekcity scale I purchased a few weeks ago. Already on initial setup I like this scale soooo much more. The build quality is fantastic, it feels hefty and sturdy. The display is clean & simple, and you can choose what information appears when you first link your device to their app. My first 3 measurements on the scale were all within a standard deviation of 0.2 lbs. which I consider to be within an acceptable margin for accuracy.I dislike that most scales seem to require an app nowadays, but it's something I can live with. The Withings app seems minimally invasive to privacy at least. In spite of that, it's a very user friendly app, excellently designed and can be connected to Google Fit to track steps, food intake, etc. All really nice features even if I won't end up using them.Also comes with carpet feet if you're unable to use the scale on a flat solid surface, not sure how accurate the measurements will be on carpet even with those feet installed... but it's there if you want it I guess. Very happy with my purchase.
