About this product

Withings Body Comp — Black

A clinically validated smart scale that measures body composition, cardiovascular health, and nerve function in a single daily step — tracking weight, body fat percentage, muscle mass, bone mass, water percentage, visceral fat, vascular age, pulse wave velocity, and nerve health score across up to eight users, with a 2.8-inch colour display and seamless app integration.

Your bathroom scale tells you one number. That number goes up, you feel bad. It goes down, you feel good. But weight alone is the crudest possible measure of health — it cannot distinguish between the muscle you gained, the fat you lost, the water you retained, or the bone density that quietly declined. Two people at identical weight can have radically different body compositions, cardiovascular risk profiles, and metabolic health. The person who started strength training and gained three kilograms of muscle while losing three kilograms of fat sees the same number on the scale and assumes nothing changed — or worse, feels discouraged because the number did not drop. The scale you have been standing on every morning has been lying to you by omission for your entire adult life. Body composition scales exist, but most deliver unreliable estimates dressed up as data. Consumer-grade bioimpedance devices are heavily influenced by hydration status, time of day, food intake, and skin moisture — producing numbers that swing wildly between measurements and erode trust until you stop checking. They measure body fat and muscle mass with margins of error wide enough to render the data meaningless for tracking real change. And none of them look beyond composition to the cardiovascular and neurological metrics that actually determine your long-term health trajectory. You get a body fat percentage you cannot trust and nothing about the arterial stiffness, vascular age, or peripheral nerve health that your doctor would consider far more clinically significant.

Withings Body Comp is a different category of device entirely. Clinically validated bioimpedance analysis provides precise, reproducible measurements of body fat percentage, muscle mass, bone mass, water percentage, and visceral fat — the metabolically dangerous fat surrounding your organs that standard scales cannot detect and that BMI completely ignores. Segmental body composition analysis breaks these metrics down by body region, showing you exactly where you are gaining or losing muscle and fat. Beyond composition, Body Comp evaluates your cardiovascular health every time you step on. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) measures arterial stiffness — one of the earliest detectable markers of cardiovascular risk — and translates it into a vascular age that tells you whether your arteries are ageing faster or slower than your body. The nerve health score assesses peripheral autonomic neuropathy through the sweat glands in your feet, detecting early signs of nerve damage associated with diabetes and metabolic dysfunction before symptoms appear. All data syncs automatically to the Withings app, where longitudinal trends become visible — the trajectory that a single measurement cannot reveal. Recognises up to eight users automatically. High-resolution 2.8-inch colour display shows your metrics instantly without reaching for your phone.

Withings has been pioneering connected health devices since 2008, trusted by millions globally and developed in partnership with doctors and leading health institutions. Compatible with iOS 14+ and Android 10+. Alkaline batteries pre-installed. Carpet feet included.

How to use

Place the scale on a hard, flat surface for the most accurate readings (attach carpet feet if using on carpet). Step on barefoot — the sensors require skin contact with the metal electrodes. Stand still for approximately 15 seconds while the scale completes its measurement cycle. Results display immediately on the 2.8-inch colour screen and sync automatically to the Withings app via Wi-Fi. For the most consistent longitudinal data, weigh at the same time each day — ideally first thing in the morning after using the bathroom, before eating or drinking. The app tracks all metrics over time, generating trend graphs that reveal changes invisible in day-to-day measurements. Set up via the Withings app on iOS 14+ or Android 10+. Cannot be set up from a computer. The scale that stopped lying by omission — because the number that matters is never just your weight.
