I have this scale and I like it. I've had a similar experience to Erin with the occasional glitches but overall it works fine. I only got five months out of the batteries but my cats like to sit on it and that causes the display to remain on for long periods draining the batteries. The cats' weights are pretty accurate though!
I had the same issue that I kept getting the error message. This video taught me to reassign the unknown measurements. Now it works! This video was super helpful as I was frustrated.
I was motivated to get this after watching your video, cheers! It's leagues better than my previous basic weight scale. I stand on it everyday, but barely even look at my weight readings, knowing it will be on phone. Having the idea that I won't have to record my readings manually everyday, actually allows me to be lazy and but still measure weight everyday.
I just got a Withings scale (not this exact model but almost, and it works the same) and I didn't have the issue with unassigned measurements. After I completed setup with the app, the first time I used the product my name was there but it had to be selected first. The user guide says you have to lean slightly on the scale to the left or right to select the user (a foot tap will work too I think). Initially the display will say "Other" and not assign measurements to anyone if any are taken, but all that's required is a tap or lean to change from "Other" to your name, and then the initial measurements are assigned to your name from the start.
im assuming the break away from Nokia is why things changed. seems everyone was hating them while with Nokia and not they have gone back to the original im seeing reviews go up. i wonder how this scale compares to the others of the same generation. the Body Smart, Body Comp, and Body Scan.
Hello. I sympathize with a lot of adventures. I want to tell you about mine. I have a fitness tracker Xiaomi Smart Band 8 Works great with native program Mi Fitness. I bought a smart scale Mi Body Composition Scale 2 and I was very surprised they don’t work with the Mi Fitness program. At all. Xiaomi scales do not work with the Xiaomi program! But they work great with the Zepp Life program. Now I have to weigh yourself and look at all the indicators in one program and manually enter everything into another program! This is a fiasco. Nothing to do. Thanks for the review. I love your videos.❤
Yikes 😬 Hopefully I didn't make a bad purchase. But I'm willing to give it a try. The selection in my country is pretty limited as is and other brands had even worse reviews. But this one had good reviews. Hopefully it will work great - eventually! 😁
Hi Erin, Thank you for yet another balanced review. I found it to be somewhat amusing. All I want is for my scale to tell me my weight when I step on it before I get into the shower. No bells, no whistles, no storing info. Just my weight right now. This scale is too high tech for this aging baby boomer! 😉 RogerC 3/25/24
Users might only want to focus on average weight and not be persuaded to make changes based on day to day readings, this leads to a much healthier approach to weight control. An average is also a lot more accurate than weighing yourself once per week.

Great info from your experience.
I have the Body+ scale from them is this one an improvement?
What is the difference between it and Body+
As a long time Withings setup victim, I found this review very helpful. Thank you! 👍🏾
Glad to hear, thank you for sharing!

Good tip, thanks!
Have you tested withings body segment? It’s the next model version! Would be good to hear accuracy and comparison to dexa:)
Not yet but I’ll try to get one.

I need new smart scale as my fitbit aria is getting kinda old these days.

You're very welcome! :)
Thanks for the info! Helpful vid

I lost weight trying to figure it out. I'll stick with Renpho scale
😆
100$ for a scale thanks but no thanks
☕️seems alittle tedious 4 me. Ironically, isaw something simular. And considered buyn. But???
I can’t get this thing to measure anything besides the weight. Their software is a garbage.
What is the point of stepping on a scale and not be told? Just don't step on it.
