Withings Body Scan

Fat-mass trend tracks DEXA closely but independent testing shows 15 to 30 percent absolute body-fat deviation and weak regional-fat mapping; the ECG is FDA-cleared.

Independent testing found body composition within 15-20% deviation from DEXA for users above 15% body fat, rising to 20-30% for leaner individuals, with significant body-fat overestimation for lean and athletic users. MedGrade ↗

For a scale's category purpose this is the deepest set on the market: 5-zone segmental body comp, 6-lead ECG, vascular age, nerve-health score and standing heart rate.

First health station FDA-cleared to detect atrial fibrillation via 6-lead ECG, plus segmental body composition, heart rate, vascular age and nerve-activity evaluation on one platform. HLTH News ↗

Rechargeable and reliable but real-world life falls far short of the advertised year, so the spec-sheet claim is not what reviewers actually got.

Real-world battery life measured at 3-4 weeks versus the advertised 12 months per charge. MedGrade ↗

As a stationary stand-on scale it is effortless for its form factor, capturing a full reading in 90 seconds with nothing to wear, though it is a snapshot device.

A single stand-on session screens the full body in 90 seconds, localizing muscle and fat mass across 5 zones plus ECG, vascular age and standing heart rate with no wearable to keep on. Withings USA ↗

The Health Mate app is rated best-in-class, core metrics need no subscription, and data syncs cleanly into coaching apps like Vora.

Health Mate app scored 84/100 with best-in-class display and interface; the device works without a subscription, with Withings+ optional at $9.95/month. MedGrade ↗

No mandatory subscription, but a $499.95 price well above mainstream premium scales is hard to justify given the absolute-accuracy limits.

Current US retail price is $499.95 with no device discount (one free month of Withings+ only), versus premium consumer scales such as the Garmin Index S2 near $150. Withings USA shop ↗
