Withings Body Plus Scale
6. Conclusion
Review Pages
The Withings Body+ is a well-designed product with good aesthetics and overall appearance. Withings has a long tradition with scales products and for a fact is the no1 selling brand at scales at various Amazon stores, which shows that many users enjoy Withings products and have tested its performance.
According to Withings, the device has been tested and has the best-in-class accuracy via "Position Control technology", a patented body position detector that even can separate humans from babies! The Body+ scale has four weight sensors and can weight from 5 up to 180kg (9 -> 396lb) with 100g (0.2lb) graduation, impressive stats. The device can either store up to 16 difference measurements locally (internally) but for getting its most useness you will need to activate it with a Wi-Fi network. The large display at the top gives you immediately the weight and several other stats and has a quick comparison with the last weight measurement for quick view of your daily performance.
We did liked the fact that the scale is "larger" compared with other scales, giving your feet more space to rest upon. We also liked the fact that after measurements it automatically powers off, that explains the up to 18months of battery life (4x1.5AAA). Lastly the two different colors (black/white) gives you more options to explore and fit this life product to your house/office.
The device has constant upgrades via Withings official updater and we find the price of 69.90( up to 99.95) Euro very good for the overall performance and features, great choice to tech up your daily life.
