WITHINGS Body 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

This is the scale you want and you don't even need to buy the most expensive model. The best feature of this scale, that a lot of other scales do NOT have is that it can sync to your Apple Health data *without* needing your phone nearby. This means, you pop onto the scale, it detects who you are by your weight range and then automatically syncs via wifi to your Withings accounts which is then synced to your Apple Health data. It works absolutely perfectly and only takes seconds. If you have multiple people, no problem, it will auto recognize you based upon your weight range. If that happens to be close, you simply can lean left or right to switch to another user of the scale. I love it and it's a great reminder and tracker of your weight over time. I personally have lost over 20lbs simply by tracking my weight, which is critical if you're dieting using calorie deficit method.

Up until now, I've always had a fairly simple digital scale. Weight and that's it. This scale takes things to another level by adding in a plethora of readings AND can transmit them wirelessly to your phone. Starting with weight, the scale measures to 1/10th of a lb accuracy, which is a step up from every scale I've owned thus far that measured to 2/10th accuracy. I tried it against my old scale and another in my house and the Withings scale was within .1 of both scales.Now here's what else it can read: Body fat %, water weight, muscle weight, fat weight, bone weight. Now you might be wondering, how can a scale tell all of these things from just my feet? Well the tech is pretty cool. The scale sends an undetectable electric current up through your feet. Muscle and fat contain different amounts of water. Muscle is about 75% water, while fat is only 10% water. This electrical current travels through your body and then back down to the scale. Based on the current returned, the scale can calculate (roughly) all of those measurements. Pretty cool, huh?Now, I'm almost certain that these measurements are an approximation, so if you're looking for extreme accuracy, you might have to look at other Withings products. But for me, close is good enough as long as the weight is accurate, which it seems to be.Batteries claim to last 18 months, so we will see if that's true. The app was easy to download and the scale was easy to pair with the app. It updated almost instantly after I stepped on the scale. There's also a handful of health apps that you can pair with your Withings account so that data transfers over. For example, I have the scale paired with Fitbit and Lose It and they both receive my weight and body fat % from the scale when it syncs with the Health Mate app.Lastly, the scale itself is aesthetically pleasing. It feels and looks well built. My fiance also uses the scale and it can track her stats completely separate and private from my stats. It knows who you are when you step on the scale and will actually display your name. You can have up to 8 users with unique profiles on one scale.If you're looking to step up from your traditional digital scale, I would highly recommend this one!

The app is surprisingly easy to use. It pairs automatically on the first. For any subsequent pairings the button is on the bottom of the scale.The free version of the app tells you your body composition (muscle vs fat) your fitness level, whether each measure is high, low, or normal, and your trends over time. It also gives guidance on how to improve.The scale takes a few seconds, then tells you your weight, percentage of muscle, percentage of fat, and visceral fat and shows the normal range. It also shows the user it thinks it’s measuring, your heart rate, the air quality index, and the day’s temperature. That’s a lot of information for a simple scale.I should point out, if you’re looking for this for someone such an an elderly person who has balance issues and can’t stand evenly with weight distributed on both feet and no winning side to side this won’t work. It’s very sensitive to any shift in weight. It will make its best guess and report an error. It also won’t shut off after that, simply display that estimate weight, which is both a privacy concern and a battery drain.
