WithingsBody Smart - Accurate Scale for Body Weight and Fat Percentage, Body Composition Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Weight Scale, Baby Weight Scale, Smart Scale Apple Health Compatible, Bathroom Scale

I’ve only been using the WITHINGS Body Smart Scale for a week, and I’m already building an entire training and nutrition strategy around the data it gives me.This isn’t just a weight tracker. It gives you body fat, muscle mass, water %, metabolic age, and more — and it syncs cleanly via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. What makes it next-level for me is that I’m feeding the biometric data into an AI analysis tool to create a precision fitness and diet plan. It’s like turning your bathroom scale into a lab.But let’s be honest — it’s not perfect. The first time I stepped on it, it took four tries to get a clean reading. You have to stand completely still, which isn’t as effortless as it sounds. Once you get used to it, it’s fine — but it’s worth noting for anyone with balance issues or less patience.What I Love:• Tons of biometric data — not just weight• Syncs with Apple Health and works flawlessly with apps• AI-compatible — I use the data to optimize my health stack• Tracks trends over time, not just day-to-day spikes• Looks clean and modern in any bathroomWhat Could Be Better:• Takes a few tries to calibrate on your first weigh-in• Sensitive to movement — don’t shift your feet mid-readFinal Word:If you’re serious about understanding your body, this scale is absolutely worth it. It’s more than just numbers — it’s data you can act on. Whether you’re using it like I am, or just watching trends in Apple Health, this is a solid foundation for making smarter health decisions.

I credit this scale with helping me stick to my workouts and avoiding cheat days. Gaining weight on a given day isn't so bad of my body fat percentage is still trending downward for example.It integrates with Home Assistant, so I can track my workouts over time. I've set up my morning notifications (calendar, news, weather) to fire as soon as I get off the scale from Home Assistant. As a result, getting on the scale is built in to my wakeup routine.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this scale. I bought it to replace my.Qardio scale (that Company went out of business, and could not connect to their app any longer), and boy am I glad I did! I’ve been on a weight loss journey for the last year and a half (lost 75lb so far), and this scale has been a game changer for me! It’s beyond helpful (when your weight loss stalls) that this scale will tell you when you’re gaining muscle, and keeps you from getting discouraged. I would highly recommend this product to anyone embarking on a weight loss or fitness journey.

This is my first review==========================================================================Now I am adding more adventures in Nokia Land Technical Support=======================================LOOK AT LAST SECTION=======================I am personally sick and tired of "wonderful" products like this that cost me much more in time and trouble to attempt to debug the work of their undereducated programmers who can't create software with conditional statements to determine hardware and software environments limited to only the manufacturer's products.Simply put, the programmers who created the software inside this newer version of an old product (same hardware platform) made software that cannot operate the combination of hardware, embedded programing, IOS and CLoud technologies such that the "product" offered, which is the scale plus the cloud ecosystem hat connects with your iPhone / iPad / Mac will work across the manufacturer's product line.In this case this entire family of weight scales.I have owned an original Whitings scale (it is essentially the same platform with updated embedded software technology) for nearly 4 years and it failed. But it worked every day and never let me down.I figured out that one of the pressure sensors died.So I thought that it would be a real simple matter to spend money to buy a newer version of the same weighing chassis.And then get it to work with my Whitings / Nokia App on my iPhone + iPad and the web enabled cloud platform that is offered.This way my new version of the old scale would work with my Activitie Pop and my very intermittently working Withings Blood Pressure gauge.Boy was I wrong. It has taken me well over two evenings of remove this, remove that, reboot this, reboot that, reconfigure this, reconfigure that, in terms of my new scale, my existing cloud account, my iPad and iPhone apps.And still no go.It is not that I am a newbie.I have been in this "high tech" high frustration industry for decades since the 80's and still work in it, especially in software engineering, web, cloud and process control applications. So I can follow directions. I can troubleshoot hardware and software and I can generally get things to work, even if I have to flash an EPROM once in a while.Not going to waste that effort any more.And definitely not going to try to fix Mr Withing's or Mr Nokia's scale product, as I think Nokia is in midst of selling the Whitings line back to Whitings.The heck with this company and it's product, as they have taken something that "just worked" and turned it into a device designed to make a user mad.ADVICE.Buy a simple technology scale, a pen, a notebook, and weigh yourself and look at the weight shown, then write down the weight daily next to a date entry, in the notebook......If you want to get fancy, plot it on a piece of graph paper.I know that after the almost 800 years since paper was introduced into medieval Europe, some might think that paper is still in "Beta" test.But paper with letters formed by pencil or ink, just works.You will be happier.Because this product does not work as advertised in the promised "ecosystem."Review Number Two, experience so far with technical support==================After posting my first review, out of the clear blue sky Nokia Tech Support reached out to me. Something I never expected.OK, they want to make it work, then I'll work with themSo far my impression is that they want to do what many health care people try to do....pander to you by keeping you in the dark.Without giving you anything approaching a technical discussion. But perhaps that is how their equipment is ultimately designed.I found that I finally could get the scale to be "seen" as a valid device by the Nokia Web App, the Nokia Health mate App, and amazingly on my ancient, charged up, as it sat on a shelf ancient iPad with the ancient Blue colored 3.13 Whitings App.BUT BUT BUT BUT the scale does not seem to be capable of sending my weight to the Nokia apps.What's further interesting, is that the error messages went away which leads me to no conclusion about anything.Even after rebooting everything.What's interesting is the last tech support suggestion.....=============================================================Could you please remove the batteries from the scale for a full 60 seconds and then reinsert them? Once you have done this, place the scale on hard floor, wait 10 seconds, and weigh yourself. It is important that you wait 10 seconds after placing down or moving the scale before weighing yourself as the scale needs several seconds to calibrate. You must also wait 10 seconds in between each weigh-in so that it can recalibrate.If you see any arrows on the corners of the scale's display, this indicates that your weight is not evenly distributed on the scale. Adjusting your position on the scale will cause the arrows to disappear and should result in an accurate weight measurement. If the arrows do not disappear, your weight measurements will likely not be accurate. Let me know if the weight is now showing accurately.Please let me know how we may assist you further.Thank you and have a nice day!================================================Tried it, and no complete go. The scale can be seen but the weight does not get recorded in the app, even after upgrading all software.Did finally get a message on my iPhone about MAC address filtering, which I checked on my brand new Asus Router.Another thing.............. And this gets to be crazy and tells me that "Nokia, we got some form of software problem"I have an infamous WIthings Blood Pressure cuff that always acted up..In fact, one day it just died after about 45 days, and that was almost 4 years ago.Because I felt so totally scammed I did not have the heart to throw it out, and I was already past the return period.So I took the batteries out of it, threw it in a box and chalked it up to just poor software integration.Today, I remembered it, so for grins dug it out of the box in the garage, put new batteries in it, turned it on, it powered up, the newest version of the app found it instantly, app wanted to do a software upgrade, which it did, and now........after aging in a cardboard box in a dusty + dark corner of my garage like fine wine left to age, the blood pressure cuff now works flawlessly.Go figure, except that perhaps Nokia creates hardware products that are so far ahead of the software that Nokia is capable of creating, that you should buy the hardware and put the hardware in a box for 2-3 years to allow the software to catch up.I will respond to tech support with my findings to date, and report here later, when they reply.Stay tuned ===================================.
