- Durability Well made, nothing much to break
- Portability It's a scale but quite light compared with mechanical scales. It's as portable as it could be.
- Ease of use Very easy to set up in conjunction with the mywithings web site
- Design and form factor Looks the business
Detailed review
The Withings scale, as with the companion blood-pressure monitor, is well designed and ideally suited for purpose. Set up is extremely simple and, once connected to your home wifi, is reliable and works every time. I have been using the scale now for nearly six months and it has recorded daily statistics for two people.
It is important to use a hard flat surface, preferably not a carpet. Four stick-on feet are provided if you have an uneven or soft surface. To use, simply stand on the scale and wait while it goes through the routine. First comes the weight (in pounds, stones or kilograms), then the fat percentage followed by the body mass index (BMI). When the display goes blank you can step down.
The Mywithings web site is a model of clarity and functionality and displays your weight statistics within seconds of taking a reading. The companion iPad and iPhone apps are also well thought out and clear. The one app will handle both the scale and the blood-pressure monitor so you can keep track of all your stats in one place.
I strongly recommend this product.
