Dear Community,
Today, we are not only offering you a brand-new website and a new logo for our Withings app, we are also introducing our last scale: Body Smart. Body Smart is our new smart scale that helps you reach your health goals. Clinically validated, it benefits from two new technologies, the Withings Precision Technology and the Patented Position Control Technology, which ensure a high quality accuracy of your health and weight measurements.
What are the features available with Body Smart?
Body Smart features a high-resolution colored screen and an automatic tracking for up to 8 users. Next to that, Body Smart includes the following functionalities:
- Weight and BMI
- Standing heart rate
- Body composition (muscle mass, water mass, bone mass, fat mass, lean mass)
- Visceral Fat
- Basal Metabolic Rate*
- Metabolic Age**
- Weather (available with the Wi-Fi connection)
- Air quality (available with the Wi-Fi connection)
- Previous day’s steps (if you own a Withings tracker)
*The basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the number of calories your body needs to accomplish its most basic life-sustaining functions (such as breathing, blood circulation, nutrient processing, cell production…).
** The Metabolic Age is calculated by comparing your BMR to the average BMR of your chronological age group. If your metabolic age is higher than your actual age, it means that you need to improve your metabolic rate and that your metabolism is not as efficient as it could be. Exercising will build healthy muscle tissue, which in turn will improve your metabolic age.
What modes are available on Body Smart?
Body Smart adjusts itself to you and your lifestyle! It offers you several modes that you can activate if you wish to:
- Pregnancy Mode: Track your weight during pregnancy and get personalized recommendations and support through your journey.
- Baby Mode: Get an accurate weight for the smallest member of your family, just by holding them in your arms.
- Athlete mode: Activate this mode if you work out more than 8 hours a week and have a resting heart rate below 60 bpm in order to get accurate body composition measurements.
- Eyes Closed Mode: You don’t want to focus on specific numbers, but rather on your overall progress? Use the Eyes Closed Mode to swap weight and body composition measurements on your scale screen for motivational messages.
- Weight-Only Mode: With the Weight-Only Mode, all impedance-based tech is disabled on the scale. Note that a synchronization is needed in order to effectively activate the mode on the device. For that, either weigh yourself or wait 24 hours.
What power supply does Body Smart use?
Body Smart uses AAA batteries that are included in your purchase and can last up to 15 months.
How precise is Body Smart?
Body Smart offers a 50 g/0.1 lbs precision. Its weighing range goes from 5 to 200 kg (9 to 441 lbs).
