Measurements not trustworthy, multi-user cumbersome
Anyone who tests the scale a little will quickly notice that the measured values are not trustworthy. Why?
1: 3 measurements in a row (with the same contact to the scale and handpiece) result in different readings with deviations of up to 20%.
2: Vessel age is complete nonsense. If you change your age as a user, the scale corrects the vessel age accordingly. Tested: Age set from 45 to 35, vessel age was also 10 years less 5 measurements later.
3: Water content / fat content can at best be described as haphazard. Example: 5 days fasting, 2kg weight lost, this is mostly water and intestinal contents. At the end of fasting weight measured 63kg. Then 2 days of normal eating, weight increases by 1.5kg, so far so good, fat percentage jumps up 1kg, within 2 days this is physically impossible. The water content should have increased by now.
All in all, the scale is a big illusion machine. Not even trends are reliable. Clearly not worth the money.This review was created for a different variant: Body Scan (200 kg)
Very good balance
Very good scale with details like body composition, ... The battery lasts a very long time.
Different people are recognised very well.
Integration with the application is top notch.
Only the family option caused us problems and we use more. It's not limiting
Values fairly close to what my nutritionist measures with her professional device.Pro

- advanced functions
Contra
- The unreliable family option

A very good product
After just a few days' use, I'm completely satisfied! I can accurately track my body composition in every part of my body and have access to lots of data about my health. I'm really impressed. My dietician has a similar service, but on a huge 'professional' scale. I think it's great to be able to access it from home. I hope it will help me achieve my long-term weight loss goals.

Seems like a bit of mumbo jumbo to me
It's actually just too expensive. Even for under 300. The fact that you have to pay extra for extra features is shameless. The account requirement is cheeky.
The values fluctuate considerably in some cases. I know that this is normal for fat measurements. But the PWV values also fluctuate quite a lot. The same goes for nerve health. You simply have to rely on the average values being roughly correct.Pro
- Accurate weight display
Contra
- Pulse/PWV/nerve health are relatively often not determined
- Compulsory account

Not fully developed for the price
PWG measurement often does not work and has to be repeated. Body analysis and ECG did not work from the start. Probably a technical problem

Contra
- Tricky to clean
- Complicated to measure
- Sometimes several attempts until measurement successful

Super scales, very precise!
Very good scales. Don't be put off by the others. Make sure you read the onboarding carefully, then you won't make any incorrect measurements. Onboarding family members was also incredibly easy.

- ECG
- Body fat mass measurement
- Muscle mass measurement

Not cheap but simply good
Unfortunately, the pulse wave velocity measurement rarely works, if you use the Withings app on several devices, you have to acknowledge the messages on each one, which is extremely annoying.
All in all, a great scale which is worth every franc, easy to use, good instructions during use. Very innovative.
I would recommend Withings products/gadgets to anyonePro

Measurements are not accurate
The performance offered is questionable and disappointing for a premium product.
Example:
- Measurements can differ within 30 minutes (if you have drunk water, your bone mass will increase... This is unbelievable)
-Transfer to the app does not always work, very annoying, as the measurement then has to be carried out again
- You don't understand how the measurement was takenContra
- Inaccurate measurement
- Transfer to the app does not always work, very annoying
- too expensive to present such erroneous results
- You first have to familiarise yourself with the app to understand everything
- App could be better (many repetitions of information on different tabs)
For over 300 never again and never
Pro
- Could connect with the mobile
Contra
- Cannot measure my body fat percentage etc.
- Far too expensive for it not even working properly
- Everything observed according to the instructions Body composition cannot be measured
High price for poor quality and bad service

The top of the range of scales
I have noticed that sometimes, the weight that is displayed on the scales is not the same as the weight in the Withings app. It doesn't happen to me often but my partner does.
Pro
- Accurate and functional data
- Segmental measurement
- Withings app and smartphone integration
- Excellent battery life
Contra
- Price a bit high
- Appliance a bit delicate
- A bit complicated to add family members

Pro
- Easy to operate
- Easy to pair
- Looks high quality
- Beautiful display
Contra
- Nothing so far
Expensive but great
Withings is a great manufacturer of various "smart" health products. Everything works together perfectly and can be connected to Apple Health, which is super practical. I've been impressed with the accuracy so far and it really does show you when you let it slip a little. A great product but not cheap.

Does exactly what it should
If you want to keep a close eye on your muscle building or fat loss, you should buy these scales. Of course you can also see this in the mirror after a few weeks or months, but with the scales you can see right from the start whether you are on the right track.

Great scale with great screen
Very good scale. Easy to install and use. The only thing that is quirky is that you have to get used to getting some of the measurements since at the beginning it might not take them. But once you get used to it, it works great.
Pro
- Decent price
- Amazing screen
- Easy to set up
- Very easy to use
- Does everything automatically with Withings app
Contra
- Need time to learn how to measure some of the values

Top gadget - "must have" if sport and life are inseparable for you.
Bad News: It is not as precise as laboratory equipment for x thousands of francs (who still believes in Santa - need not read further).
If you want to know exactly where your training or diet is leading you - then you must first have absolute values measured in a reputable clinic (e.g. Schulthess -> performance diagnostics, body fat measurement). Afterwards you can follow the trends wonderfully in Body Scan.
Disadvantage: There is no excuse afterwards like "I have +2kg but it is only water" or "I am sure I have only lost 3kg of fat after this diet".
Attention. In App in user profiles you can switch "Athlete" mode on or off. This influences the calculation considerably.
Pro
- App from smartphone
- USB-C charging, power consumption is minimum
- Display - most important values can be seen immediately even without a smartphone
Contra
- Very sensitive - you have to pay close attention to position
- "Gues user managment" is puzzle
- Weight
- Subscription (does not have to be cancelled, fortunately)

Body composition measurement does not work
I bought this scale for the body composition and fat percentage measurements. This worked well for about 6 months, then stopped. Since then I've been on and off with customer support to try and resolve the situation without success. Now i have a 400$ scale that just measures my weight. Oh it could also do things like measure the air quality and tell me the weather, and nerve health etc. (that nobody needs). Don't buy this scale get! It doesn't do what its supposed to
Contra
- Body composition and body scan functions not working
- Customer support not good
- Expensive

Absolutely brilliant
Excellent scale that measures accurately and is super easy to use. Coupled with the Withings app, it gives accurate results that are easy to read. What's more, you can see trend lines after a few measurements. Finally, having a scale helps you to adopt healthy lifestyle habits.
