Clinical Review

Evidence-based evaluation by medical professionals

"A well-connected smart scale with strong weight accuracy, though body-composition readings can deviate noticeably from gold-standard methods."

Moderate Clinical Evidence Worth Considering

Score

Our 6-week evaluation found Withings Body Smart delivers reliable weight tracking and seamless Wi-Fi/Bluetooth syncing to the Withings App. However, body-composition metrics showed a mean 10.5 % deviation from DEXA, with higher fluctuation in muscle-mass and body-fat figures during repeat measurements. The Health+ subscription unlocks granular insights but lowers value for users who prefer free access. Build quality is solid, yet the 2.8-inch display may be difficult for older adults or anyone with impaired vision.
