The Withings Wi-Fi scale is a fascinating step forward in the use of Wi-Fi to share information for the consumer's benefit.I purchased my scale from the Withings web site but it was shipped from their U.S. Amazon store. It appears to be one of the first scales to ship within the US as I received it in early October 2009.After the scale is configured for your Wi-Fi network, and the account on the server is set up, the process of weighing goes like this: Step on the scale. The scale will fluctuate for a moment while adjusting to your weight. After a few moments, the scale should accept a weight, and then display a bar moving across the display from left to right as the data is uploaded to the server. When the bar display is complete, the scale then displays your Body Fat % and then displays your BMI. If the scale has a problem thinking that the person on the scale is not centered, there will appear an arrow in one of the corners where it believes there is too much weight and it would like you to adjust your weight away from that corner.The scale is a pretty straightforward device and will not require any in-depth learning but some users might desire a user's manual as there is none beyond the slip of paper that instructs you how to insert the batteries. A pdf document that a user could download would be a great addition for those that would like to better understand what the capabilities are for the device and how they can make best use of the product. After all, this scale is not a cheap scale and most users who purchase it will be technically minded with curious wonderings beyond what is obvious. Withings does have an online forum for ongoing discussion and if you have a question, visiting the forums helps as there are always other users who are experiencing the same issues or have found an answer for something you may come up against.The scale has the ability to recognize more than one user. There is an algorithm that the server uses to determine which user is on the scale as it expects each user to have a significantly different weight and/or body fat % composition than other users. If it can not detect which user is on the scale from 2 different users, the scale will show an arrow so that by adjusting the users balance on the scale, the user can indicate which user they are. If there are 3 or more users using the scale, this process will not work and the users must each 'claim' or 'refuse' the weight on the web site for their tracking. Unfortunately, having a single user claim that weight will not remove it from the other user's records and each other user must also remove the 'unknown user' weight.Because I have an iPhone, I was intrigued by how I (or others that I allow) could watch my weight change and body fat changes over time. It is impressive how quickly the iPhone receives the weighing data and Withings has been smart to use a badge on the WiScale application to notify the user that new data has been received. I have not noticed any Alerts yet on the iPhone but they are aware of that capability given that the preference exists within the iPhone settings.For the techies that like to take things to the next level, there is a capability to download a CSV delimited file containing your weighing history. The file is perfectly formatted to slide right into your Excel program.There are a couple of things that I expect to see happen as Withings moves to version 2 of their software. Currently, there is no ability to upload data to the server so as to benefit from having historical data that you have accumulated prior to your Withings scale purchase. Manually entering historical data is limited in that the server does not accept data with the precision similar to what the scale records. Withings says that this will be fixed in a future update.A feature that is missing is the ability to indicate that the user is an athlete and that the Body Fat should be analyzed with that significant difference in mind. Many users who choose a scale such as this might well be expecting this recognition by the software.The Basal Metabolic Rate would also be a nice feature that may be included at a later time but is not currently calculated or shown.Withings Scale Pros:AttractiveCapable of ongoing improvements in features through firmware updatesiPhone application for ease of sharing your successCapable of multiple users being trackedCan be set for metric (kg) or imperial (lbs)Very responsive to customer feedbackWithings Scale Cons:Accuracy is limited to your typical home use scale.Not the cheapest product that does this kind of analysis but one of the more innovative.Executive bottom line: The scale has some fun potential but it should be recognized that technology does not necessarily bring about increased accuracy. I've rated this scale with 5 stars because it is what it appears to be, the design is beautiful and the scale uses technology in innovative ways. The scale has potential for becoming an an awesome product as Withings has the capability to enhance its current capabilities easily. Let's hope they continue to give us even more as time go on.

The scale itself looks nice, works fast and was easy to setup.The only thing I would warn people about is that you do have to connect the scale via a provided USB cable to your computer to set it up. The port to connect the USB cable to the scale is located in the battery compartment, so after you put the batteries in don't put the cover back on. You'll just be taking it right back off again to connect the scale to your computer. Once the batteries are installed you'll go the Withings website to make an account, then you will connect the scale via USB to your pc to connect it to your network and the account you just created. I would also suggest reading the FAQ on the website once the scale is setup, it provides good information about the display and messages you may get on it.I had no problem connecting the scale to my secure wireless network, which also uses mac filtering. I had no need to change any of my security settings to get the scale connected.

So,I was very excited to pick up this scale. The convenience of the wifi networking to auto update my data to their server and subsequently view on the iphone app sounded really really good.In theory, the scale did as expected, however, the software component leaves a lot to be desired. For starters and this is the show stopper, the Body Fat % is completely wrong, not just a little wrong as you would expect with an estimated value, it's off by a lot. I had been using a considerably cheaper digital scale that gave me body fat readings and the Withings scale was nearly 30% off (in my case, 29% versus 24%).I naturally assumed the Withings scale was the one that was correct (or hoped this was the case since it gave a much lower body fat %). I was annoyed enough by the difference that I decided to go and do a hydrostatic body fat test (the dunk tank), which is considered the gold standard in body fat estimation.The results were surprising, the Withings scale was the one that was completely wrong and the cheaper scale I had was pretty much the same as the hydrostatic testing. After discovering this, I went over to the forums withings provide for customers and unfortunately discovered many people had the same issue with this scale.[...]After posting my experience and asking if they were going to fix this, they said they'll be updating the software later in the year (although the first suggestion of just subtracting 5 from the body fat results wasn't exactly what I had in mind given the difference in results isn't always constant nor acceptable in a scale costing $150).I was very careful to follow the exact instructions for these measurements, I really wanted to like this scale.The other bits and pieces such as the iphone app are nice, but not 100% solid, the visualization isn't perfect by any stretch and the way it decides which values to display is not ideal. Still, overall the iphone app is a nice addition for sure.Anyway, if you want anything close to accurate, I would pass on this scale for now until they sort out their body fat estimation. If you don't really care that much and are happy with the weight being accurate (which it is), then it's a pretty nice scale (just pricey).
