" ... i really like how it shows the previous days and shows if you have lost or gained weight. ... "
" ... This is a very good tool to use for weight management. ... The weight is very reliable. ... The body fat, water weight, etc are not as accurate as a medical scale obviously but, it is accurate fir monitoring your weight loss and wellness. ... "
" ... I'm a bit of a nerd so I love being able to monitor fat, muscle, water weight, bone mass, etc. ... "
" ... I really like how this Scale gives such detailed information on the intricate's of my Body (weight, water, fat, bmi, & bone) it prevents me from solely fixating on weight. ... "
" ... Weight is accurate when compared to old scale and dr visits. ... "
" ... I love that this app keeps track of multiple people, estimates body fat %, syncs to my phone, and even shows the weather! ... "
" ... Weight is always within 0.2lbs but the other numbers are less precise. ... "
" ... Love the weight. ... "

" ... The SOFTWARE makes a difference!! ... This has the best app and website to track your progress. ... "
" ... I also liked having the feature of a free app that you can sync with the scale and track all your displayed info, see graphs of how your weight has been trending, and even set future goals. ... "
" ... You get a nice smartphone app that does a good job of tracking progress. ... "
" ... The main selling point for me was automictic integration with the Fitbit app. ... "
" ... It’s integration with the app works well after an easy setup. ... "
" ... I love the BMI, and charts on the app. ... "
" ... Once I was able to pair with my computer I was then able to do so on my phone app and completely set up. ... It does it automatically as long as you use the app. ... "
" ... Lots of information on their app, which looks great. ... "

" ... Beware: if you change your WiFi password this scale will fail. ... "
" ... 1) Connecting to Bluetooth was way more difficult than it should have been. ... I have a Galaxy S21 Ultra, so it's not an issue with using an old phone. ... "
" ... I've tried everything from hard resetting, reinstalling app, Bluetooth repairing, etc . ... "
" ... Guess which one won't connect to the wifi now? ... The only thing that doesn't even see my home network is this $100 dumb scale. ... They're using some kind of ancient wifi chip in this thing and passing the savings on to their shareholders. ... "
" ... It does work that other 1% so I guess it’s not my wifi setup to which I have my entire apartment connected to. ... "
" ... Also, the app would randomly not sync on occasion as well. ... "
" ... But it will not allow me to set up a profile on my iPhone. ... "
" ... It will connect, then stop connecting for a month or two, then connect again, seemingly at random. ... "

" ... sleek design, easy set up, and connects to an informative app! ... "
" ... But I needed one at my parents house so I purchased the black. ... "
" ... Helps me fine tune my workouts. ... "
" ... And that is without the carpet feet on. ... "
" ... First time pairing was easy. ... "
" ... Setup was pretty easy. ... This is one of 3 Withings we own and use in the family. ... "

" ... Very frustrating to perform an update to the operating system and have it stop working immediately after. ... "
" ... I expected a $100 scale to remain fully functional longer than 22 months. ... It just seems to have quit communicating. ... "
" ... Scale died after 20 months of usage. ... "
" ... There is no reason a config should be lost after saved. ... "
" ... The first stopped working correctly w/in 1 month. ... The second one never worked right, so I kept it, defeated. ... "
" ... I liked this product for 2.5 years and today it just stopped working. ... "
" ... Beware as this scale stopped working after less than 1 year. ... "
" ... While I mostly enjoyed this scale, my second one just stopped working after 18 months. ... The first one also made it about 18 months. ... "

" ... I find the weigh in to be accurate. ... "
" ... So far, this Smart scale has provided data that is both accurate and reliable. ... "
" ... Its accuracy and consistency are unmatched. ... "
" ... Loved the accuracy and data tracking app. ... "
" ... The scale is a scale it is accurate as far as I know but all the other bells and whistles you pay for are not worth. ... "
" ... It's a good convenient scale with pretty good accuracy and the fact that it stores info for a quite a while, so that's convenient. ... "
" ... Accuracy — I see percentages bouncing around more than I would like but weight seems accurate. ... "
" ... It was not the most accurate scale I've owned, but definitely sufficient for my purposes of looking at trends. ... "

" ... If it wasn't outside the return window I'd be running to send it back. ... "
" ... I sent the company emails and they replaced it. ... "

" ... The scale does not sync or pair after the first battery change. ... "
" ... The batteries lasted almost 2 full years in it! ... But for $100 I would think I could get more use out of it than one cycle of batteries!!!! ... "
" ... Put in new batteries and reset to factory settings and still no luck. ... "
" ... Still shows empty batteries… Change the batteries and reset to factory settings. ... Second set of batteries - only good as a paperweight or target practice. ... "

" ... It will mock and taunt you into following your diet plan (or you will just ignore it's sleek and quality design.) ... "
" ... It has a nice look. ... "
" ... Really wanted to like this since it looks beautiful, but there are just too many flaws . ... "
" ... Also, I like the darker design. ... It's a nice clean look. ... "
" ... Oh —- it looks awesome. ... "

" ... How is this not a safety issue it slides all around the floor. ... Even when I put the carpet protector it still slid all over? ... "
" ... Only works for weight an nothing else! ... "
" ... The top glass shattered into pieces on a light bump into the side of the wall. ... "
" ... Yet, it just keeps hovering around my weight and doesn't arrive at a decision which is apparent by the weight and 4 arrows. ... "
" ... After an hour on the phone - most of that on hold - they want me to initiate an email for support. ... "
" ... Basically only the weight is correct on this. ... "
" ... When taking it out, it slipped and shattered all over the place. ... "
" ... So then I moved it back into tile with the carpet feet still on it and it seemed to stabilize, but not 100% - it's was still fluctuating but not as badly. ... "

" ... We love all the features - the sturdiness of it, the battery life is great, the bright display, and it still looks AMAZING and brand new after owning it for over 3 years [purchased in 2019]. ... "
" ... Unfortunately my wife wanted this scale because she liked the appearance, thought the display was easy to read, and the high price meant that it was more accurate than the previous two scales from different manufacturers we’ve tried. ... Yes, the display is easy to read, but so was the LIVIN scale I brought a year ago and it was 1/5 the cost of the Withings. ... "
" ... While the screen on the scale is probably readable, I don't really use it. ... "
" ... The readout screen gives you a lot of information. ... "
" ... The information available on the display is nice, though I thought at first I would not like it all sliding across the screen, even my daily weather. ... "
" ... I like that when you step on it, it shows you a few quick measurements on the screen and if you want more, you can open the app and see more date. ... "
" ... The display is clear and easy to read. ... "
" ... Scale display easy to read. ... "

" ... It's good looking, has a nice interface and a lot of features. ... "
" ... Has a LOT of features which I will never use. ... "

" ... Mine cannot connect to either of my 2.4Ghz networks: one it doesn’t see at all and can’t connect to manually, and the other it reports that the password is incorrect (likely because of special characters) ... "
" ... Could be my unit or my network if it works fine for others. ... "
" ... But this scale will only use a 2.4 ghz network and my network is 5G only. ... "
" ... Be careful when stepping on though as the feet slide on my tile and my hardwood floors. ... "
" ... this should come with sticky rubber feet in addition to the carpet feet. ... "
" ... However it's also unable to negotiate this with networks that support both 2.4GHz and 5GHz, which is what every router made in the last 15+ years defaults to so it can decide whichakes the most sense for devices that support both. ... It's completely impossible to use this product in any way without significant degrading your home WiFi network for EVERY device that uses the WiFi. ... "
" ... It does work that other 1% so I guess it’s not my wifi setup to which I have my entire apartment connected to. ... "

" ... It had the annoying habit of defaulting each day to my original weight and it took a while to figure out how to bypass it. ... "
" ... Everything about this scale is a pain. ... "
" ... If I didn’t think this was such a HUGE rip off I’d throw it in the trash right now but I’m not going to let them profit off of me. ... "
