Subscribed and ordering. Thank you for the update it helps to know someone still has the same brand or product two years later at the reviews leave you going wow what’s gonna happen in six months to a year is it still gonna work so thank you for all hard work
Did you like the scale? Did you lose weight?
Great review, thanks for the amazing and useful content, the BPM good stuff, I like the idea of keeping everything seem less and compact instead of looking at many apps one for each device. Thank you
hopefully got you a little coin on this one...totally just ordered this through your amazon shop after seeing you recommend it. Happy to have found your channel man!
great review. i'll be picking up one of these scales soon thanks to your review
Thx for the review! Just ordered one.
Nice review man! Very clear and yet still entertaining. It's tight. thanks!
Much appreciated!
Excellent review. Thank you
Hey ModernDad, nice video, good humour, keep the content coming! Liked and subscribed
My scale works, but I have a pet peeve. M.Grasse is showing instead of Body Fat and IMC is showing instead of BMI on the scale. Can't figure out why. Location and units are set correctly.
Great review keep it up
Great video man! I just ordered mine :)
Great Review. Thank you.
How's the accuracy with bodyat procentage? Can it be trusted? For reference I use inbody scale at the gym, but need something at home that can measure my bodyfat.
Great review! New subscriber!!!
Does the data sync with fitbit app? Do you need to do a manual action for it to sync or is it automatic? Can I step on the scale, when the measurements are complete, get off the scale pick up my phone and see the data in my Fitbit app?
I have apple iphone and my wife has samsung android. Is there a problem with "cross-using" ?
Hi is this compatible with Fitbit
is Withings Body+ works with Samsung Health (can I send my data there) ?
Can you keep your info private or does It have to be shared with all your family?
if you press the metal disk in the middle dose it give the Co2 level ?
Does it sync with Fitbit? I know there is fitbit aria but i kinda like this more.
Is the scale accurate? I heard that the body fat measurement is inaccurate?
Do you know if there’s a coupon code?
2:59 you've been using the scale and presumably app for years, just rate it already! :p
Does it work with samsung health?
Is this more accurate than the previous model, the Smart Body Analyzer (WS-50)?
Perfect timing for this comment. I was just wondering what the Smart Body Analyzer was. Now I know!
How’s the scale working? I’m in the market for one.
hi would you share your opinion on INEVIFIT Eros Bluetooth Smart Body Fat Scale
Have you tried doing Intermittent Fasting? Where you can go a little longer without food to trigger fat burning and then eat all your food later. If your diet is already kinda clean, this is a great addition to your week. This year I lost 17 pounds by simply having a cup of tea instead of eating in the morning. I ofc would eat an early lunch, but by just pushing my first meal a little it allowed my body to tap into my reserves (fat storage), and in the evening I try to avoid snacking, once again I just have a cup of rooibos tea :) Intermittent Fasting is extremely flexible and versatile, so you can make your own system that fits you. It's something I try to do most of the time, and now I'm back to a healthy weight again. If I start having 4 meals a day like my very active boyfriend has, I will gain those 17 pounds back in a few months. I am less active, so I must eat less. Skipping breakfast is a good option for me as we get up at different times I can't enjoy the meal with him anyways. Instead we always have dinner together
I've been IF for just over 2 months & I'm amazed by the changes to my weight & body composition. It's like finding a magic key 🔑 😎👍
the Blood pressure product is great, I have one too / but it reads about 10 points higher than reality, if you take it to your doctor, they can help you calibrate it.. just saying...
I have used some similar model and it's great to follow your health condition, being honest u don't know how accurate it's to show that extra data besides the weight, but it should good enough to know if you are getting more or less fat and water
Damn your blood pressure is higher than mine and I’m 370 currently down from 398. Had a biometrics at work and it showed me to be 51.4% bmi and my good cholesterol was low. Other than that bloodwork was good. I looked up this review because the biometrics for work kit a fire under my ass.
Great review. Hobbit toes ;-)
:' D
😂 greatbreview
The first scale's battery life was terrible. What about the new one ?
Just wondering if you or anybody else has had experience with a smart scale and with Apple health. It’s been my experience that only five metric show up coming from the scale. What are y’all’s thoughts. I wish that you could see all the metrics coming from the scale but apparently that’s not the case.
Never properly synced with the app. The older versions or the current. So no benefit from all the measurements since can never see them. Withings support gave me a list of fixes that I had already tried. Then simply went quiet. There are cheaper products that might be less accurate but they do sync to their own app and give you the data you expect on the same day. Currently has synced for 3 months +
My experience as well.
Can we have your opinion on Garmin's smartscale? Also, a video per couple months is not enough 😊
Thanks, can my wife have the app on her iphone and I have the app on mine and it will send the info to the appropriate phone? Or can the info only go on my phone?
Yeah - just use separate profiles.
@@Moderndad Thanks, but I still don't understand. I see on your video (or someone else's) that you had different profiles for each of you on your phone , but how do you put HER profile on HER phone. And can it be set up so that only SHE has her profile on her phone and only I have my profile on my phone. I've watched so many demos and nobody has shown if this is possible or how to do it. I assume it is. I just ordered from Amazon (set for delivery on Dec 7) so I hope it will, but I haven't yet seen it done or know how it would/could be done.
@@Moderndad Thanks. I got it working. Probably didn't do it right. I did the whole scale set up thing twice. Once on my wife's phone and once on mine and now it works. Probably didn't have to go through the whole set-up process twice but I couldn't find another way. One disappointment though was that the scale only works on the old 2.4 Ghz wifi standard. This means the scale will probably be obsolete soon as the 2.4 Ghz standard is old and congested. I've moved EVERYTHING to the 5Ghz spectrum and now there is a new wifi 6 standard out. That said, I REALLY like the scale so far and most importantly I like the app. It really does a nice job of presenting ALL my Apple Health info. Better than any app so far! I would download the app just for that even if I didn't have the scale! :)
Hey! Does it work with Samsung health?
It does. I bought one about a week ago and it linked through my Galaxy S-10 Plus under the Samsung Health App. That's how it counts your steps and everything
@@williehoward9244 thanks! I never found something online to confirm it works with samsung health. And you get all the data from the scale directly to the samsung health app? Or do you have to install a second app and link them up?
@@stakerul No problem. In the initial setup it makes you download their app/Withings app. When you do that, it'll ask you what you'd like to link it to & it'll give you a list of options like Apple health, Google Fit, Samsung Health, etc. Whichever one of those services or apps you have on your device you download their app to will automatically link the 2 together & you'll be all set to go.
@@williehoward9244 thank you! You really helped me. I'll get one soon hopefully
@@stakerul No problem, glad I could help. I've only had it for a little over a week, but I love it.
The worzt purchase ever!!!!
They should’ve put more work into it before they released it. It says my body fat is going up when I workout 6 days a week and diet and can literally see it go down with my own eyes. My other cheapy scale also has more accurate weight measurements. Seems like the Withings Body+ is more of just a novelty.
I bought one just recently and it tells me that it accept a WIFI of only 2.4g and I have a 5g. I'm a bit upset as THAT they didn't mention in the information before I bought it. WHAT I can do now?? Can I still use it without the WIFI? PLEASE HELP ME!
so if two users weight is similar/same then what? :D
Then it asks on the screen and you lean left or right to pick who it is
@@elliottslab oh cool!
YOU NEED TO UPDATE YOUR REVIEW. In late 2022, someone at Withings/Health Mate thought the app needed upgrading, and in doing so completely wrecked the functionality. My scales no longer talk to my app, and despite uninstalling and reinstalling the app several times under instruction from Withings, disassociating, resetting, rebooting it still failed to work. It used to be a good hardware software marriage, now it's ruined. Your review while current and relevant at the time is no longer that way. If I saw your review and then bought the scales, I'd be disappointed in the scales and angry that you failed to mention the pitfalls of the app update.
I don’t want my weight or blood pressure in the cloud. Why would I? What’s the advantage?
I see this after I ordered another smart scale that is barely not as smart As yours, and for like 20 more bucks, ughhhhhh you need your phone with this one and it can’t detect who’s on it! Ugh!
I hate the idea of giving my health data away to big tech. But at the same time what is the worst could they even do with that info, bully me? Lol
Are you still using this? I am concerned because my wife understandably does NOT want me to have any access to her data. she won't touch it if there is a chance if that. She will want to sync on her own phone.
We want more videos!!!
We bought one yesterday. My wife is athletic and had a test at our gym with a professional machine. Last night she went ballistic when the Body+ told her she had 24% fat when the gym told her it was 3.5% ! Her water content was WAY down. Today we checked again and now it says 3.5% and water is up to 69% from 52% ! Now it makes sense.
Then we found how to change the Units in the App and found some glitches. Changed Feet to metres but on the profile change it kept saying feet. Then you put the cm figures in by the FEET and your profile says Centimetres ! Finally, we will give it a week to keep trying it out. At one stage it said her Bmi was 3.7 !!!! Skeletal.
A women 3.5 % bodyfat. Guarantee that is wrong.
3.5% bodyfat!!! That is virtually the lowest that humans can go and still live....even super shredded bodybuilders are rarely at that level (despite claims) I assure you that measurement is WELL out. the gym scale is clearly WAY wrong. Danger of using scales and not knowing or understanding what the metrics mean in real life.
Hahahaha 3.5 she’ll be almost dead or on stage at the Olympia
dislike counter is not visible.. now i can be scammed. thanks yt.
Why am I not surprised to see your body fat not measured on the screen of the scale? That's exactly what I couldn't get to work on the one I bought today; It's why I watched your video to begin with. I think you're schilling for a defective product that advertises a feature it does not have.
Also, those carpet pads do not work. This scale does not work on carpet at all, ever.
No visceral fat. Critical!
A measuring tape is a good indicador of that, if I'm not wrong
Withering sponsoring the video? So basically an unscripted ad?
Their software and setup is terrible. Its very difficult to even setup a wifi connection. I have other smart devices (plus, locks) and its way easy to configure anything on there than this scale.
Withering is sponsoring this video...i stopped right there, seriously! Ur getting sponsoring by the company ur reviewing a product for...wow,just wow, gfy
I have had one since like 2014 still going strong and. It’s really amazing
They break after one year failure to connect. Worthless I’ll never buy one of their products again.
putting the tin foil hat on here, who owns the data that your sending up to the cloud? is there a way to send this data to a local stored device on your network?
probably sold to data miners xd
I bought one anyways
Sponsored - Sales pitch.
This scale sucks!
4/4 setup fail and get to use the damn thing
Carpet in your bathroom? 🤮
Ya those extra measurements it says it does aren't possible
Weight and body fat are common, water can be figured out electrically, all the rest are computer using weight and body fat along with height and gender. It's computational so not 100% accurate, but for the average person it provides a good idea where you are at.
@@luged how can it determine a pound of fat VS muscle VS water VS any other substance? Weight is simply mass and gravity, I don't remember the exact equation off the top of my head
TheMrfrodough didn’t watch the video huh? A small electrical current is sent through you, from on foot through your body and out the other foot. Electricity flows through water differently than through other substances, and water makes up differing percentages of fat, bone, and muscle. By using some math, you can take the change in current and voltage and figure out how much fat the current went through.
@@luged yes but experts say that these informations are not accurate because it does not go in the full body , the scale you see from the physician for exemple is more accurate because instead of only using the feets to make electricity go through, you use hands as well...
But anyway I bought this product to have a track of my weight only, and of course this is very accurate for measuring it
@@johnF092 I've never been to a doctor that used a bio impedance scale.
It's a consumer product, even the weight measurements aren't going to be precise. These are estimates, and as long as you continue to use the same scale the estimates will provide good information.
DO NOT BUY THIS I WAS 40%FAT ONE DAY AND 30% THE NEXT!
Horrible scale …100% garbage
I almost puked seeing your toe nails
great review in general ;)))
