Withings - WS-30 Wireless Scale, Keep Your Weight Loss Goals On Track with This Easy-to-Read Digital Scale, Black

PROS* Weight records update automatically to app after weigh-in reading.* Scale weigh-ins can sync with Fitbit app.* Allows up to 8 individual profiles to be set up for personal weigh-in readings.* Notification reminders can be set to remind of weigh-ins or even other activities.* Scale can display a basic local weather notification on screen after weigh-in once location setting is updated for scale.* Cost is currently around $40 making it a budget friendly scale to track weight goals.CONS* Scale set-up may take a minute, but once it works-- it works well.* The Nokia Health Mate App has to be installed in order to sync with Fitbit app.* Nokia Health Mate app is not as user friendly and some of the app tracking abilities are not available unless using Body Cardio scale.* Additional carpet feet for scale is unusable for accurate weigh-ins, but scale functions properly without them.While this isn't the newest of the Withings scales currently available, it's a nice addition to my fitness tracking. As Nokia is now part of Withings, it seems that they're updating the display for this scale model and calling it the Nokia Body but it's the same basic functions for the WS-30 scale. That could be why there's a lower price tag for this model scale currently. It's definitely worth consideration if you don't want to shell out the big bucks immediately for an Aria or Aria 2 scale that Fitbit provides, plus the Withings WS-30 will sync up with the Fitbit tracking app. There are directions on the Fitbit site to help with that but either way, when you go to the Nokia website to set up your scale you'll have to download another app as well to your phone. It will require you to set up a free Nokia Health account to sync up the device to your iPhone or Android device as well as to sync data between the Nokia Health Mate and Fitbit apps.This scale only does the weight and BMI readings, but I find those helpful when syncing up the data to my Fitbit tracking app. Also, that's another reason why I enjoy this scale-- it will sync with the Fitbit tracking app. Unfortunately to sync the scale readings, I do have to download yet another app onto the precious and limited space of my mobile device. I can also import data back to the Nokia Health Mate app to compare how it tracks my fitness stats. I admit I prefer the Fitbit app over the Health Mate one as I can easily share and report my progress, so I'm really glad I don't have to choose to juggle both in order to track my fitness goals as a whole. One thing's for certain, there's no cheating with this scale-- initially I had some difficulty in getting the scale set up at first, when I did a few test weigh-ins after finally syncing the scale to my Fitbit app it started reporting immediately. I like that, it'll keep me more aware of the regular fluctuation of my weight as I progress to my overall fitness goal. Though for those who are afraid of regular scale weigh-ins, perhaps just set your reminder for once or twice a week. I personally find it helpful to analyse my daily weight fluctuation alongside my activity level and meal plan to make adjustments as needed.If you do use the scale feature for notifications but plan to predominately use Fitbit as your app of choice-- don't double up on reminders already set up in the main fitness tracking app you use. It's not that it utilizes a lot of your mobile resources, it's just redundant and works better to set side reminders that are more specific to the scale. The Health Mate app itself leaves much to be desired in customization and ease of sharing one's progress with support groups towards a fitness goal, but it does a fair job for tracking personal goals. This is why I've only set up basic information currently surrounding weigh-ins on Health Mate and track the rest of my fitness info on the Fitbit app. As I get curious to compare the apps, I've set a reminder to import my Fitbit data to the Health Mate app so I can notice if there's any discrepancies as I progress towards my fitness goal. I like getting the double badge notifications for motivation from both apps, so I personally see that as a plus.What I have noticed with this WS-30 scale is that it doesn't have the feature for Full Body Composition analysis (like the Nokia Body+) or Heart Rate (like the Nokia Body Cardio) making those options in the Health Mate app unusable without upgrading to one of those scales. The Nokia Body Cardio appears to cover both additional readings if you really want to get the most of monitoring and syncing the data up with a Fitbit app. Otherwise, the WS-30 scale will track the core information you need easily with the Fitbit app to keep on target to your overall fitness goals. Another plus for those that have a fitness minded family, you can set up individual profiles for up to 8 users total, so you have one scale to weigh them all. It's pretty useful, and while this is just for me mainly-- if my sister came to visit she could set up to track her own weigh-ins when visiting on the same scale to sync with her Fitbit data.The scale does come with a set of feet to attach if you'd like to use the scale on carpet, but I'd recommend on not attaching them. I thought it was a good idea at first but the readings were way off in comparison to my old traditional scale I was replacing. Don't bother putting these carpet feet on the scale even if you plan to do your weigh-ins on a solid, non-carpeted surface as the plastic material causes the scale to skid under your feet and potentially will cause you to slip and fall. It functions just as well and accurately as-is out of the box after setting up the device. It did take me a little bit to set up the device, but I'm not certain if it was just my Bluetooth or WiFi in the house that was having issues and causing the difficulty-- eventually I was able to get this scale set up after about a half-hour of working through the process with the snags I ran into personally.Overall, for the low cost of this scale model-- it's a good and accurate way to keep track of one's weight goals with the added benefit of being able to sync with the Fitbit app.

I've had my eye on a wifi scale for a long long time, but just wasn't willing to pay the price for one. After becoming a health fitness tracker lover in the last 18 months, I really wanted a way to automatically integrate my weight with my tracking app. I've used Fitbit products in years past, but right now I'm an UPper. (You can check out my UP24 review here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2Z0F95XGL71C6/ref=cm_cr_dp_title?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B00GQB1JM0&nodeID=2335752011&store=wireless)The scale arrived and upon first inspection was much more visually appealing than I expected. The photos of it make the top look like a matte black, or plastic top, but it is not-- it is glass. Setup was quite easy, I have a smart phone, and during setup it updated the firmware right away. It was set up, I hopped on, and the truth was told. However... there was more to learn.I read some headlines that the scale could identify users, though I didn't know if it was doing this by weight or by bluetooth phone-- since you can have the app, bluetooth, even though it can upload via Wifi.... I had questions. A quick consultation to the Withings website cleared a lot up for me: The scale identifies by weight, it can upload by bluetooth or by Wifi, and the screen has some feedback about which way to "lean" if you aren't distributing your weight properly. The scale is simple, but I learned how to better use it by consulting the FAQ on the website. I would recommend this.It does come with unattached optional carpet feet. I assumed they were carpet feet and wasn't sure. Consulting the FAQ for that also cleared up that question.After setup, I visited my UP app and browsed integrations. I signed in, and voila! My each weigh in is showing up in my UP timeline, right along with my activities. Life is now fully automated. Now just to automate the exercise!I had no issues with the scale, other than wishing it had a quick reference sheet to cover some of those unknowns, or a slip to point me to the website to finish off the learning. It works great, and I didn't need anything more from it than it provides. It even adjusts your weight for altitude/gravity! Who does that!!!? Withings does.If you have any particular questions or concerns, please feel free to post them in the area below and I will do my best to respond ASAP.

Una bascula conectada muy util para hacer seguimiento en programas de dieta o para llevar un control sobre el peso de forma cómoda y automática. Ofrece datos de peso, masa corporal, gráfica de progresión y como dato curioso el tiempo que hará ese día (la temperatura máxima, mínima y el tipo de tiempo que hará).Sin la App no tiene sentido y sin un control de los datos que ofrece tampoco. Esta pensada para ayudar a gestionar una dieta a través de la progresión y con los datos que ofrece.Es bastante fiable (comparada con otra bascula que tenemos y con datos de consulta médica) y se amortiza con el tiempo ya que es un aparato pensado para durar. Se nota que esta bien diseñado y fabricado. .

Fa quello che deve come descritto e per quello che viene acquistato. Quindi nulla di più e nulla di meno di quanto ci si aspetterebbe da un oggetto simile con un giusto rapporto di qualità e prezzo.

très bonne balance connectée ,le plateau de verre qui la recouvre est de bonne qualité ,le design sobre tout blanc rend très bine dans la salle de bain.l'afficheur est clair et lisible et la reconnaissance des personne marche très bien.on peut meme s'en servir sans consulter l application a chaque pesee on obtient son poids et la difference par rapport au la dernière fois avec un petit graphique ,son imc et meme un petit resume météo de la journée .l application se paramètre facilement et on peu créer et consulter facilement son historique ainsi que tout les autres (nous sommes 5 a la maison).je recommande se produit a tout ceux qui veulent suivre leur poids sur le long terme

We purchased the white WS-30 Withings scale to replace a Fitbit Aria which we have been using for at least three years as we now use the Apple Health App which is not supported by FitBit. I was amazed how much easier the Withings scale is to set-up and use than the Aria was. It is also far more accurate due to a clever display system which ensures you always stand with your weight spread evenly over the four weight sensors. Failure to place your weight centrally seems to be the prime reason for inconsistency between readings on these types of bathroom scales. Although it was easy to set up the first user using the small instruction card that arrived with the scales it is essential to go online to read the help files before trying to set up subsequent family members. There are completely different methods to set up second and subsequent users depending upon whether they want to share your account of have a seperate account on their own phone or computer. I unfortunately initially used the wrong method and had to spend a half an hour clearing up the accounts and starting again. There are also specific online instructions for setting up the Withings App so that it works together with the Apple Health kit. The instructions are easy to follow and work well. As a free bonus the Withings App automatically displays its weight data on the Apple watch in the form of a progress graph. As well as displaying the weight and your BMI the WS-30 also displays the morning and afternoon weather forecast after you have viewed your data. The default location fir the forcast can be changed in the App and we have found it to be reliable. These scales have more than met our expectations.
