Best Fitness and Health product.
This is the scale you want and you don't even need to buy the most expensive model. The best feature of this scale, that a lot of other scales do NOT have is that it can sync to your Apple Health data *without* needing your phone nearby. This means, you pop onto the scale, it detects who you are by your weight range and then automatically syncs via wifi to your Withings accounts which is then synced to your Apple Health data. It works absolutely perfectly and only takes seconds. If you have multiple people, no problem, it will auto recognize you based upon your weight range. If that happens to be close, you simply can lean left or right to switch to another user of the scale. I love it and it's a great reminder and tracker of your weight over time. I personally have lost over 20lbs simply by tracking my weight, which is critical if you're dieting using calorie deficit method.
B**!
It combines with Samsung Health
Easy to set up, accurate values and the best: Easy to combine with the Samsung health app!I still use the Galaxy watch 4, now the phone (also a Galaxy) combines all the measures greatly.Before, I had to insert the scales results manually in the app, that wasn't smart.........

This scale is great! I love that I can access measurements via an app! It is accurate and great quality.

PART TWO - DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT EVER And.............Tech Support Reached out and here are the results to date.
This is my first review==========================================================================Now I am adding more adventures in Nokia Land Technical Support=======================================LOOK AT LAST SECTION=======================I am personally sick and tired of "wonderful" products like this that cost me much more in time and trouble to attempt to debug the work of their undereducated programmers who can't create software with conditional statements to determine hardware and software environments limited to only the manufacturer's products.Simply put, the programmers who created the software inside this newer version of an old product (same hardware platform) made software that cannot operate the combination of hardware, embedded programing, IOS and CLoud technologies such that the "product" offered, which is the scale plus the cloud ecosystem hat connects with your iPhone / iPad / Mac will work across the manufacturer's product line.In this case this entire family of weight scales.I have owned an original Whitings scale (it is essentially the same platform with updated embedded software technology) for nearly 4 years and it failed. But it worked every day and never let me down.I figured out that one of the pressure sensors died.So I thought that it would be a real simple matter to spend money to buy a newer version of the same weighing chassis.And then get it to work with my Whitings / Nokia App on my iPhone + iPad and the web enabled cloud platform that is offered.This way my new version of the old scale would work with my Activitie Pop and my very intermittently working Withings Blood Pressure gauge.Boy was I wrong. It has taken me well over two evenings of remove this, remove that, reboot this, reboot that, reconfigure this, reconfigure that, in terms of my new scale, my existing cloud account, my iPad and iPhone apps.And still no go.It is not that I am a newbie.I have been in this "high tech" high frustration industry for decades since the 80's and still work in it, especially in software engineering, web, cloud and process control applications. So I can follow directions. I can troubleshoot hardware and software and I can generally get things to work, even if I have to flash an EPROM once in a while.Not going to waste that effort any more.And definitely not going to try to fix Mr Withing's or Mr Nokia's scale product, as I think Nokia is in midst of selling the Whitings line back to Whitings.The heck with this company and it's product, as they have taken something that "just worked" and turned it into a device designed to make a user mad.ADVICE.Buy a simple technology scale, a pen, a notebook, and weigh yourself and look at the weight shown, then write down the weight daily next to a date entry, in the notebook......If you want to get fancy, plot it on a piece of graph paper.I know that after the almost 800 years since paper was introduced into medieval Europe, some might think that paper is still in "Beta" test.But paper with letters formed by pencil or ink, just works.You will be happier.Because this product does not work as advertised in the promised "ecosystem."Review Number Two, experience so far with technical support==================After posting my first review, out of the clear blue sky Nokia Tech Support reached out to me. Something I never expected.OK, they want to make it work, then I'll work with themSo far my impression is that they want to do what many health care people try to do....pander to you by keeping you in the dark.Without giving you anything approaching a technical discussion. But perhaps that is how their equipment is ultimately designed.I found that I finally could get the scale to be "seen" as a valid device by the Nokia Web App, the Nokia Health mate App, and amazingly on my ancient, charged up, as it sat on a shelf ancient iPad with the ancient Blue colored 3.13 Whitings App.BUT BUT BUT BUT the scale does not seem to be capable of sending my weight to the Nokia apps.What's further interesting, is that the error messages went away which leads me to no conclusion about anything.Even after rebooting everything.What's interesting is the last tech support suggestion.....=============================================================Could you please remove the batteries from the scale for a full 60 seconds and then reinsert them? Once you have done this, place the scale on hard floor, wait 10 seconds, and weigh yourself. It is important that you wait 10 seconds after placing down or moving the scale before weighing yourself as the scale needs several seconds to calibrate. You must also wait 10 seconds in between each weigh-in so that it can recalibrate.If you see any arrows on the corners of the scale's display, this indicates that your weight is not evenly distributed on the scale. Adjusting your position on the scale will cause the arrows to disappear and should result in an accurate weight measurement. If the arrows do not disappear, your weight measurements will likely not be accurate. Let me know if the weight is now showing accurately.Please let me know how we may assist you further.Thank you and have a nice day!================================================Tried it, and no complete go. The scale can be seen but the weight does not get recorded in the app, even after upgrading all software.Did finally get a message on my iPhone about MAC address filtering, which I checked on my brand new Asus Router.Another thing.............. And this gets to be crazy and tells me that "Nokia, we got some form of software problem"I have an infamous WIthings Blood Pressure cuff that always acted up..In fact, one day it just died after about 45 days, and that was almost 4 years ago.Because I felt so totally scammed I did not have the heart to throw it out, and I was already past the return period.So I took the batteries out of it, threw it in a box and chalked it up to just poor software integration.Today, I remembered it, so for grins dug it out of the box in the garage, put new batteries in it, turned it on, it powered up, the newest version of the app found it instantly, app wanted to do a software upgrade, which it did, and now........after aging in a cardboard box in a dusty + dark corner of my garage like fine wine left to age, the blood pressure cuff now works flawlessly.Go figure, except that perhaps Nokia creates hardware products that are so far ahead of the software that Nokia is capable of creating, that you should buy the hardware and put the hardware in a box for 2-3 years to allow the software to catch up.I will respond to tech support with my findings to date, and report here later, when they reply.Stay tuned ===================================.

Nice new features absent from my previous Withings scale!
My previous Withings scale took a permanent nosedive (suddenly wouldn't go past the welcome screen no matter what I did) but it lasted me a number of years so I thought I'd stay with the brand in order to keep my stats in the app from those years. What I like about this Body Smart is all the extra info you get. Previously I got my weight, BMI (which is of no use to me due to my muscle content; if you look at my BMI alone I'm "overweight") and the weather. Now I get not only those things, but information regarding my muscle & fat content, visceral fat level, water weight, lean & bone masses, basal metabolic rate & metabolic age. It takes your heart rate too when you are on the scale, but mine always looks high because I wake up in the morning and pretty much weigh myself immediately before I get dressed; the heart rate that shows for me in the app is far higher than the resting rate my Apple Watch tells me I have. Anyway.I think the best thing about this scale is the motivation it gives you. For example, I'm lifting heavy right now, so I always get a thrill when I see I'm Gaining Muscle. Same for when I see I'm Losing Fat. My basal metabolic rate is rising, and as a female it's very useful to be able to see my water weight. We all know it spikes at certain times for us, but it's comforting to see that nonetheless if you gained a couple pounds. So this scale is definitely a win for me. I've also seen some days I'm Dehydrated and that spurs me to be better about drinking water.I detracted a star because I know the info is just a guide, but there have been times I got on the scale and it showed one set of info, then I'd get back on it a couple minutes later just to test it and it would show muscle & fat content that was more than a little different than what just showed a couple minutes earlier. (Even with the weight being the same.) If it was close that'd be one thing, but it really wasn't. Also, there have been days I know I stepped on the scale and that day's info would be missing in my app. I'd expect it to show the next day, but it wouldn't... there'd be a space there between the day before & the current day, with no info. Not sure what that's about as I stayed on the scale the proper amount of time, our wifi & my bluetooth were working correctly, etc. But I still like this scale a lot, especially for the reasonable price.

Great value
This smart scale works great. I love that I can track my weight and body composition over time, and that it syncs to Apple Health. By the way, I think it only syncs to Apple Health when you open the app, but that's not been an issue for me since I often open the app anyway to see my body composition statistics. I also love that you can use the app to customize the information that is provided on the screen after you weigh yourself.
