    Pros: Fairly seamlessly connects with apple health and other apps. Weight appears to be correct

    Cons: all other measurements seem to be completely off. Over the course of a week my results have varied widely. My muscle mass between yesterday and today for instance appears to have changed by 900g. Either I’m wasting away over the period of 24 hours or it isn’t very accurate. Likewise my fat level jumped 1.3kg over one day and then back down. I am weighing myself first thing in the morning so there shouldn’t be any reason for this

    The scales are in the same place and weighing myself first thing in the morning.

    —
    I have no owned this for a couple of months. I weigh myself pretty much every morning before I have breakfast. As an experiment today I weighed myself and weighed myself 10 minutes later. Same weight but sadly ten minutes of breathing in has caused by to increase by body fat by 600g and lose 700g of muscle.

    It says the app keeps track of your weight. If you want it to do that, you MUST send that data to their server. Which means every time you get a weight update, Withings gets an update of your weight too. Want to do steps? Now you have to give the app permission to have permanent access to your GPS location. You can’t keep track of it on your own in the app, nope, It wants anything and everything. This app demands access to your contacts list. It wants access to your CALL LOGS! Why? Why does an app need that? Why does it need my call logs in order for me to keep track of weight? Here’s a hint, IT DOESN’T. It’s as invasive and intrusive as they come. Check out the reviews on the play store, they are *AWFUL.*

    Might be a good scale, but the app is a nightmare. Which means you can’t use many of the features it advertises.

    DO NOT BUY THIS SCALE.

    Je me faisais une joie de monter en qualité pour ma balance connectée mais je suis déçu (j’ai même fait le retour ce jour).
    En effet, la mesure de la masse grasse est totalement incohérente pour moi car cela m’annonce un peu plus de 41% de matière grasse. J’ai effectué 2 mesures à un jour d’intervalle.
    Ma précédente balance ainsi que des mesures faites en salle de sport m’annonce aux alentours 17-18% de matière grasse.
    Je mesure 1.93m pour 97 kilos (au moins le poids est correct sur cette balance…)
    J’ai essayé en passant mon profil en ”Athlète” (même si je fais pas mal de sport je ne me considère pas comme athlète mais c’était pour voir) : le résultat est identique pour cette 3e mesure.
    Je vous joins une photo de moi ainsi que ce que l’on trouve en image sur internet pour un taux de 40%… Soit j’ai des soucis de vision, soit la balance a un problème…

    This a long review since I make comparison with other scale so be prepared to read alot.
    1. The first thing i noticed, this scale measures the Fat Free Mass as a muscle measurement rather than the Skeletal Muscle Mass (google the difference if you are interested).
    2. I tested it for 4 straight months comparing its results with my gym’s “InBody” scale results and here what i noticed
    Weight: they both show same weight measurement.
    Body Fat: there were some inconsistency in readings, sometimes this scale measure higher, other times gym scale measure higher. Keeping data from both i came out with an average error or lets call it inaccuracy of 8%. The average difference in grams is almost 0.9 g of fat
    Muscle Mass: my gyms scale always gave me higher results. Average percentage error was 4.7% with 2.55 average difference in grams of muscle.
    Body water: this scale usually measure higher body fluids. Average percentage error 1.1 % and average difference in grams is 2.8g
    Fat percentage: fluctuating results between both. Percet difference of 7.8% percent n average with 1.3g difference in readings

    This is not looking good. Despite my high expectations from a quality manufacturer, its been very disappointing. It set up and paired fine out of the box, the next morning it was time for my weigh in. The weigh in varied by plus or minus 5kg within minutes of each other showing the device to be faulty. It also wouldn’t progress to take the rest of my statistics (body fat etc). I also found it had unpaired from my iPhone and will not pair again despite working on it for over an hour. There isn’t a helpline that i can find that might sort the problem in a minute. Ive decided to send this one back and ask for a replacement as I might just have a faulty one. Lets see if the next one works. Also I dont recommend the black version as it looks beautiful out of the box but by the time you have it paired it will be all finger marks.

    After a lot of research I bought the Withings and I’m pleased I did. I looked at reviews on here, You Tube and Tech Radar, the Withings got great reviews compared to Fit Bit and other scales I considered. They display all the info I require weight, BMI, fat %, muscle mass % etc.

    The scales are accurate and consistent, I compared the results to the InBody system at my local gym that cost £5 per analysis and the overview was similar.

    Like most people I used them several times out of the box in quick succession, the results were consistent with little or no variation.

    The app is good to use and displays all your historical data that you can view weekly, monthly, quarterly and annually. I’ve linked the Withings to My Fitness Pal and Fit Bit apps. The MFP app link was pretty easy. I had to download the IFTTT app to link them with the FitBit app this was done once and it works fine. I like the results on the Fit Bit app is it gives you a weekly weight average which is a better barometer of your progress than a daily report.

    I bought the white ones after reading on here that the black ones showed fingerprints and footprints. They look great and they’ve spurred me on in my fitness drive, I lost weight, dropped both fat % and BMI.

    Thoroughly recommended 5 star

    Update 8/5/20
    Since I purchased these I’ve lost 7lbs, watching my calorie intake closely on MFP and weighing daily on the Withings. The readings go up and down but anyone who weighs on a daily basis knows this is always the case. The average per week is the key data, the info provided have helped me move in the right direction.

    Worked as expected for a year and then one day the glass shattered when I stepped on it (I’m 160lbs). Luckily I only had one foot on it when it went or I’m sure it would have cut my feet badly. Only reaction from Nokia customer service was to inform me the glass isn’t covered under warranty…

  10. Carl (verified owner) –

    Die wichtigste Kenngröße, um den Fitnesszustand eines Person zu beurteilen, ist nicht sein Gewicht, sondern sein Körperfettanteil. Ganz gleich ob Fotomodell, Profi-Athlet, Bodybuilder oder Hollywood-Schauspieler: All diese Menschen verfolgen ihren Körperfettanteil penibel und richten ihre Kalorienzufuhr gezielt darauf aus. Wie viele Refeed-Days habe ich pro Woche? Wie viel Kilogramm darf ich in einer Woche maximal zu- bzw. abnehmen? Wann starte ich das „Cutting“ und wann das „Bulking“?

    Hier ist das Problem:

    Diese Fragen sind ohne regelmäßige Messung unmöglich zu beantworten. Ohne Körperfettmessung formt man seinen Körper quasi im Blindflug. Wer nur auf das Gewicht achtet, läuft Gefahr, die unendlich wichtige fettfreie Masse (Muskeln, Sehnen, Knochen etc) erst gar nicht aufzubauen oder im schlimmsten Fall sogar zu verlieren. Genau aus diesem Grund habe ich mir die Withings Body+ gekauft. „Das Teil ist schweineteuer“, sagte ich mir. „Das wird wohl halbwegs gut funktionieren.“ Denkste!

    Warnung: Die Waage ist eine dreiste Datenkrake

    Um die Waage überhaupt benutzen zu können, muss man sich erst einmal die dazugehörige App herunterladen. Anschließend erstellt man sich ein Profil, bei dem ich jedem nur raten kann, so viele Fake-Angaben wie möglich zu machen. Wozu braucht eine Waage beispielsweise meinen vollständigen Namen? Die App funktioniert außerdem nur, wenn man eine Standorterfassung erlaubt. Sinn? Für den Nutzer sicherlich keinen. Für das Unternehmen sind solche Daten natürlich Gold wert. Ich finde hier wird eine Grenze überschritten, die ich bei einer Waage nicht überschreiten möchte.

    Thema Präzision – teuer ist gleich gut. Oder?

    Als Referenz bei der Erfassung des Gewichts dient mir eine recht alte Soehnle Personenwaage. Die genaue Modellbezeichnung weiß ich nicht und es steht auch nicht dran. Diese Waage hat mich damals 20 oder 30 Euro gekostet. Jedenfalls ist diese Soehnle-Waage ziemlich deckungsgleich mit der analogen Profi-Waage in meinem Fitnessstudio und daher vertraue ich ihr auch. Wenn ich dreimal hintereinander auf diese alte Waage steige, kriege ich dreimal hintereinander das selbe Ergebnis. Wenn ich dreimal hintereinander auf die Withings Body+ steige, kriege ich drei verschiedene Ergebnisse. So viel dazu.

    Die entscheidende Frage:

    Wie präzise ist die Körperfettmessung? Um es kurz zu machen: Das Feature ist komplett unbrauchbar. Mein Körperfettanteil beträgt derzeit etwa 15,6%. Das weiß ich, weil ich das mit einer Fettzange (Fat Caliper) für weniger als 10€ gemessen habe. Die Withings hat am ersten Tag nach drei Messungen (15,0%, 14,9%, 15,1%) etwa 15% erfasst. Nicht schlecht, was? Tja, am nächsten Tag hat die Withings einen Körperfettanteil von über 18% angezeigt. Im Klartext: Ich habe laut Waage innerhalb von 24 Stunden mehr als 2kg Fettgewebe zugenommen und das obwohl mein Körpergewicht leicht gesunken ist. Das so etwas aus rein biologischer Sicht überhaupt nicht möglich ist, sollte jedem klar sein. Am dritten Tag hab ich plötzlich 1kg Fett verloren und Gewicht zugenommen und so weiter. Es ist einfach nur lächerlich.

    Fazit: Spart euch das Geld!

    Die Withings Body+ ist nicht geeignet, um den Körperfettanteil zu erfassen. Punkt. Sie kostet 100€. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist dementsprechend eine Katastrophe. Dazu kommt die App mit ihrer dreisten Datensammelwut. Mein Tipp: Kauft euch eine vernünftige Personenwaage ohne diesen ganzen Schnickschnack für maximal 30 Euro und dazu eine Körperfettzange für maximal 10 Euro. Schaut euch Videos auf YouTube an, wie man so eine Zange benutzt. Damit seid ihr präziser und vor allen Dingen auch schneller unterwegs Die Withings Body+ braucht nämlich für die Erfassung des Körperfettanteils länger als ich mit einer Zange und im Gegensatz zur Withings ist mein Ergebnis dann nicht im Zufallsgenerator entstanden.

    This is my 3rd Withings in 6 years. I really just love it. I did a lot of research because I like to try new things and spent a week when my Withings White went out to see what was out there and what options there were but just kept coming back to Withings for the quality, reviews, options, and my history. The app really great and keep really great track of everything and I now 6 years of history.

    Things to know: A lot of scales out there are Bluetooth only. BEWARE! It’s affordable but will be a pain. Withings is WiFi so it’s always connected and the minute you step on it, it records it all and sends it to the cloud for FREE! No subscriptions and no making sure your device is close by and bluetooth on etc… Just something to watch out for.

    Hope this helps and hope you enjoy it as much as I have

    I’m going to preface this with the fact that I was a previous Fitbit Aria user. And after a year of wildly inaccurate readings, I’d just had enough. Trying to loose weight is hard enough without dealing with a scale that varies anywhere from 20 lbs higher or lower at any given time. I’d done everything recommended by fitbit, and was even resetting the thing every day and having to weigh in 3 times in a row just to hopefully get a somewhat correct idea of how my diet plan was going. There was no way I was going to invest in the Aria 2 after the fiasco with the first one. So, enter the Nokia Body+… I’ve only had it a day and can already tell it’s insanely better. It was a breeze to set up and it seems to give pretty accurate readings, never varying by more than a fraction of a pound. I don’t know if it is as precise as a triple balance beam scale at a doctor’s office, but I don’t need it to be. I just need to know that I’m moving in the right direction. With the Fitbit Aria I had no idea if I’d actually lost weight, gained weight, or if the scale was acting up since it could be totally off even when weighing myself a few times within a few minutes. The Nokia Body+ is consistent with weigh-ins, and that’s what’s important for me. And the other features are handy too. I don’t really think I need a scale that tells me the weather, but I do like the auto tracking and it easily linked up with my Fitbit account and my Weight Watchers account. Oh yeah, the Aria wouldn’t even sync with WW properly and was throwing in all these weigh-ins that I’d deleted and every time it synced they just came back. So now Aria is an expensive paper weight, but I’m really happy with the Nokia scale. If you are deciding between the two, choose this one. Hands down.
