Listen, I have tried all kind of body scales the last 20 years! I can officially confirm that the Withings Body Scale is the best scale I have had.
I bought the Withings scale about 1.5 years ago because it was sleek and claimed to be the most accurate scale. With skepticism, I ordered it.
Even as a nutritionist it gives me valuable insight into my journey that I could have figured out on my own, but it would have taken time. I was also surprised at the accuracy of body fat and muscle mass.
Previous scales would assume that losing weight automatically meant a loss in body fat% as well. This scale does not and that is the best way to tell if a scale is accurate!
Sometimes, I will gain weight but lose fat on my body. Previous scale would not show me this information. For people who are discouraged by not seeing results, this scale can provide insight that shows you are getting results despite a few extra pounds.
On the flip side, sometimes I lose weight but actually gain fat on my body. This is not good in terms of metabolism and can indicate you are not eating enough.
Connecting this scale to wifi is a breeze and the battery life lasts over a year! Once connected to wifi you can see data like this:
As you can see in one screenshot she is losing muscle and the other picture she is losing fat. For someone, interested in toning (especially the stomach area), this is critical information!
Insight like this can help you tailor your diet and workouts to losing fat vs just losing weight. There is a big difference. If you want to tone up and have a shape, or "look" in mind then losing fat is more important than losing weight.
Overall, I would give this scale a 9.5/10. I don't have the fanciest version, only the base model. I am sure the best scale they have is a 10 and I look forward to getting it! Stay tuned for my video review!
