WITHINGS Body Scan connected WiFi scale (BIA, ECG, arterial stiffness, EDA)

What buyers think

Buyer review evidence is mixed, with feedback clustering into a few themes. Positive comments tend to highlight that the scale can be accurate and consistent for weight and body composition-style tracking, and that setup can be manageable with the app. Users who like it often frame the scale as a “health data” device that supports accountability and longer-term trends.

Critical feedback focuses more on feature usability, some buyers report that advanced cardiovascular/EKG-related steps took multiple attempts before they produced usable results, and that readings may frequently be inconclusive. There’s also limited but notable concern about reliability and customer support when the device stops working, though this isn’t consistent across all reviews. Overall, buyer-review evidence suggests that success depends on using the scale correctly and being patient with app/measurement requirements for the deeper features.

What the WITHINGS body scan measures

This smart scale is designed as a connected health station built to capture multiple metrics at weigh-in, including:

• Body composition analysis (BIA), including segmental body composition aimed at identifying fat and muscle imbalances across arms, legs, and torso.
• Cardiovascular-focused measurements such as ECG-related assessment for signals associated with atrial fibrillation, plus measurements intended to evaluate arterial condition/arterial stiffness and related outputs (including standing heart rate and vascular age-style information).
• Skin-related sweat gland activity assessed via EDA scoring intended to support daily health management.

It supports multi-user automatic tracking and includes dedicated modes for pregnancy, babies, and athletes, which can matter if you want the same device to serve different populations.

Design, connectivity, and everyday usability

Display and build

The scale uses an LCD display and is made with a combination of glass, metal, and plastic. At about 9.7 pounds, it’s not the lightest option, so consider whether you’ll keep it in one bathroom location or need to move it often.

Connectivity and app syncing

You can sync measurements through Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. The goal is for your data to land in the Withings app so you can view trends over time rather than treating each weigh-in as a standalone data point.

Battery and charging

The product is described as having a 12-month rechargeable battery. Charging uses the included USB-C cable (the box also includes a cable stopper and a wall handle mount).

Pros and cons for different buyers

Best for

• People who want more than weight and are specifically interested in body composition trends (fat/muscle) and segmental insights.
• Data-driven users who will use the app regularly and compare changes over time.
• Buyers curious about cardiovascular-style metrics that go with weigh-ins (ECG-related feature, arterial stiffness/vascular age-style outputs, and standing heart rate).
• Households with multiple users that benefit from automatic multi-user tracking and different user modes.

Who should think twice

• Shoppers who only want weight may find the extra measurement steps and feature complexity unnecessary.
• Anyone who wants instant certainty from advanced readings should be aware that some advanced results can require more time or attempts, and some weigh-ins may be inconclusive.
• Light, portable bathroom setups may struggle with the scale’s heavier footprint if you move it frequently.

Is the WITHINGS Body Scan worth it?

It’s worth considering if you’re buying a connected scale for trend-based accountability and you’ll actually engage with the app. The differentiator here is the breadth of measurement, body composition (including segmental analysis), plus additional health-style features like ECG-related signals, arterial stiffness/vascular outputs, and EDA scoring.

If you’re primarily focused on quick, simple weigh-ins and don’t plan to use the cardiovascular and skin-related features, a more straightforward connected scale may fit better, because this one asks more of the user in terms of setup and feature use.
