Features and functionality
Is Body Segment a clinically validated product?
No. Body Segment is a wellness product, with a focus on helping users get a handle on their health.
Why is there a handle on the scale?
The handle allows the user to get much more accurate body composition measurements. It also enables segmental body composition for which users get fat & muscle mass of each body part: torso, legs and arms.
What's the difference between Body Segment and other Withings smart scales?
Body Segment is our most advanced smart scale to date. With a simple weigh-in, users get access to the largest number of health biomarkers ever seen on a scale.
How does the body composition capability of Body Segment differ from other similar scales?
Contrary to classic body composition scales without handles where the current is flowing only through the lower body, segmental body composition is performed by transmitting a current through the entire body from the hands to the feet.
This technology delivers segmental body composition metrics:
- Fat and muscle mass metrics are provided for each body part independently (torso, arms and legs).
- Body composition metrics (fat, muscle, water and bone mass) are calculated based on the entire body.
Does Body Segment feature a 6-Lead ECG?
No, Body Segment doesn’t feature a 6-Lead ECG.
What is Electrodermal Activity Score (EDA)?
Electrodermal Activity Score is a NA-only wellness metric that gives an indication of your nervous system’s control of sweat gland activity in your feet. Learn more about EDA here.

How long is the battery life?
Body Segment boasts a long-life rechargeable battery that lasts up to 1 year per charge.
How does Body Segment charge?

Can I use Body Segment if I have a pacemaker or a medical implant?
The Body Segment circulates a small electrical signal in your body to perform its Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) measurements, which can interfere with a pacemaker or other medically implanted device. Withings does not recommend using our BIA features if you have a pacemaker.
Can Body Segment be set up for Bluetooth-only operation?
