Hi, please share your experience & recommendations of smart scales.
I want to replace my current Body+ (Withings), as it’s terribly unreliable* and I just have no more patience with it 🙄
Requirements are fairly simple:
- get weight & basic body composition data (fat/muscle, water %, lean mass %)
- wifi & BT connectivity
- automatic recognition of family members
- seamless syncing to Health
- available in EU
Thanks!
*) withings rant just in case anyone’s wondering (need to vent anyway…):
- their app stopped syncing to Health (and the only workaround to force the sync is to delete the app, install again and do all the lengthy re-syncing); reported a bug some time last year, just keep hearing they’re “working on it”
- tried to unpair & pair the device as part of troubleshooting… big mistake, it wouldn’t connect back to wifi anymore, complaining it can only handle 2.4 GHz and not 5 GHz (of course my wifi has both - and it worked just fine on the same wifi before…)
- last couple of weeks even BT syncing from the scale to the withings app got broken (some syncing does happen - “unknown measurements” do show up if I intentionally weigh something random, but my measurements simply won’t sync to the app despite of multiple restarts, re-pairing etc)
- long story short, I’ve ended up having to manually enter all measurements into Health, which isn’t what I expected from a “smart” scale 🤦♀️
