The discrepancies you see in results is not necessarily because the Smart Scale fails or is inaccurate but rather it only measures the lower body. The BIA in this case goes from foot to foot, while Smart Watches measure the upper body and finally more advanced tools and labs may measure multiple points of your body.
Honestly wanted to love this. Only works on occasion. Most of the time will just get an error message. Hopefully Withings will send an update soon. Seems like a software glitch for sure.
I have the Body+ scale for a few years. Upgraded my wifi router and the scale is now dead weight as it failed to connect to my wifi. Tried everything recommended on by Withings. Reset, delete/forget blutooth, nothing work. Now looking for another scale to replace the dead weight. Not sure if I should get another Withings scale or just go for another brand.
@@KingCoCo yes it will. Look at other reviews where the compare Withins to Dexer and don’t use it on athlete mode and it is very accurate. If I turn mine on to athlete I drop 5% body fat to a level I’d need to be eating no food for a month to achieve.

That's interesting I haven't experienced that yet.
It happens when you have your socks on
Great video! I was thinking about getting this scale and this video was super helpful. 😃👍
Thank you! It's been great!

Isn't Glas an insulators?
Thanks for sharing your experience. Did you have the Withings scale on athlete mode when you compared your fat mass to the DEXA reading?
Yes, in athlete mode. Weighed myself about 2 hours before DEXA scan.
dont get the body +, i got mine 2 years ago, and it hasnt worked for over a year inaccurate weighing and constant blinking arrow in lower right corner
Turn the athlete mode off. That will give you a more accurate fat %. 8% is bodybuilder show ready levels.
5% is HUGE!!!! I was considering buying this but nahhhhh
Will turning off athlete mode give a more accurate read?

@@theamateurguitarist6187 why do they have such a drastic drop in athlete mode though?
