Our verdict

Body Smart earns a KEEP for people who want a connected household scale with repeatable weight tracking, convenient app syncing, and a broad set of optional wellness estimates. Its strongest case is following trends over time, not treating each body-fat or visceral-fat reading as exact.

What it does well

  • Measures weight in 0.1 lb increments; manufacturer lists a 9–440 lb range.
  • Uses multifrequency bioelectrical impedance analysis to estimate body fat, water, muscle, bone mass, visceral fat index and basal metabolic rate.
  • Tracks standing heart rate and syncs over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.
  • Supports up to eight users and includes Athlete, Pregnancy, Baby and Eyes Closed modes.

Who it suits

Households that want weight history and a connected app, plus optional wellness estimates to observe as long-term trends. It is a particularly good fit if Wi-Fi sync and multiple user profiles matter.

Who should skip it

Anyone expecting a bathroom scale to provide clinical body-composition measurements, or who does not want to set up and use the Withings app. If you only need weight, a simpler digital scale may be enough.

Know before buying

Body-composition figures use bioelectrical impedance and algorithms; they are estimates and can vary with hydration, timing, and other conditions. The Verge compared consumer smart-scale and clinical readings and found substantial differences, concluding that a consistent trend can be more useful than treating a single number as definitive. These metrics are not a diagnosis or a substitute for medical advice.

Tom’s Guide praised the Body Smart’s readable app, range of metrics, and user modes, while noting that some enhanced scoring features require Withings+. Check the current app and subscription terms before purchase.

Why it earns a KEEP

It pairs accurate weight increments and convenient syncing with a useful set of clearly framed trend estimates. The recommendation depends on understanding the limits of bioimpedance and valuing app-based tracking.
