Tested Both Withings and Hume. Withings Wins.

We spent a lot of time researching smart scales, and it was honestly hard to decide which one to go with. We ended up purchasing both the Withings Body Smart and the Hume Body Pod to compare them side by side.At first, I thought we would prefer the Hume Body Pod because it analyzes more of the body and provides more detailed body composition data. However, after using both consistently, we definitely prefer the Withings.What we love about the Withings:1. It feels sturdier and more premium2. Slightly larger platform, which I personally prefer3. The screen is significantly better—larger, full color, easier to read, and more visually intuitive4. Biggest advantage: Wi-Fi connectivityThe Wi-Fi feature is a game-changer. You don’t need your phone nearby for the Withings to record your data. It syncs automatically. With the Hume, you must have your phone open and connected during the entire measurement process. I ran into multiple issues where my data didn’t record due to my phone screen timing out before completion or errors. It became frustrating very quickly. While you can adjust phone settings, I don’t want that extra step just to take a measurement.With the Withings, I can simply step on the scale, and everything works seamlessly every time.App comparison:The Hume app might be slightly more detailed at first glance, but once I got used to the Withings app, it provides everything I actually need.Accuracy:Obviously, no home scale is perfect, but when comparing results to past lab data and weigh-ins, the Withings measurements were much more consistent and aligned. The Hume readings were often significantly higher and didn’t seem to correlate as well.Bottom line:The Withings is the clear winner for us. It’s more reliable, easier to use, and fits better into daily life. I also love that our whole family can use it and track progress without any hassle.Highly recommend.Ver más

Feels accurate but app is obnoxious with notifications

Really enjoying the scale, I feel like it’s very accurate. It’s got a lot of different metrics and is encouraging to step on every day to see the trend.My only grip is that the app is a little obnoxious. I mean, overall the app is great it list all of the pertinent information that I need and easy to find a place, but I am constantly barraged by badges that I don’t care about at all.In fact, the only reason I’m leaving a review right now is because the app will not leave me alone about it. So fine here it is, but if this doesn’t slow down, I’m turning off all notificationsVer más

I'd done everything recommended by fitbit

I'm going to preface this with the fact that I was a previous Fitbit Aria user. And after a year of wildly inaccurate readings, I'd just had enough. Trying to loose weight is hard enough without dealing with a scale that varies anywhere from 20 lbs higher or lower at any given time. I'd done everything recommended by fitbit, and was even resetting the thing every day and having to weigh in 3 times in a row just to hopefully get a somewhat correct idea of how my diet plan was going. There was no way I was going to invest in the Aria 2 after the fiasco with the first one. So, enter the Nokia Body+... I've only had it a day and can already tell it's insanely better. It was a breeze to set up and it seems to give pretty accurate readings, never varying by more than a fraction of a pound. I don't know if it is as precise as a triple balance beam scale at a doctor's office, but I don't need it to be. I just need to know that I'm moving in the right direction. With the Fitbit Aria I had no idea if I'd actually lost weight, gained weight, or if the scale was acting up since it could be totally off even when weighing myself a few times within a few minutes. The Nokia Body+ is consistent with weigh-ins, and that's what's important for me. And the other features are handy too. I don't really think I need a scale that tells me the weather, but I do like the auto tracking and it easily linked up with my Fitbit account and my Weight Watchers account. Oh yeah, the Aria wouldn't even sync with WW properly and was throwing in all these weigh-ins that I'd deleted and every time it synced they just came back. So now Aria is an expensive paper weight, but I'm really happy with the Nokia scale. If you are deciding between the two, choose this one. Hands down.Ver más

Decent scale. Pushy phone app.

I wanted a new body fat scale since my 5 year old one’s battery was starting to have a problem holding a charge. Body smart is sleek looking and AFAIK gives accurate weight. Body fat percentage seems consistent from day to day but I guess I won’t know if it’s in the right ballpark unless I do a dexa scan or some other method. Downgrading a star because the app is aggressive and terrible. So many sales pitches for upgrading to their expensive premium subscription. It’s hard to find your weight and body fat because there is so much other stuff I don’t want on my scale such as sleep, activity, dubious health scores, many many things. It grabs data from Apple health, glucose from Lingo, etc and plots graphs.. please. I’d rather view this on Apple Health or the Lingo app. it tries to sell me on their coaching. There doesn’t seem to be any way to pare all this down on the free app. Who wants to subscribe to a bathroom scale?Ver más

PART TWO - DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT EVER And.............Tech Support Reached out and here are the results to date.

This is my first review==========================================================================Now I am adding more adventures in Nokia Land Technical Support=======================================LOOK AT LAST SECTION=======================I am personally sick and tired of "wonderful" products like this that cost me much more in time and trouble to attempt to debug the work of their undereducated programmers who can't create software with conditional statements to determine hardware and software environments limited to only the manufacturer's products.Simply put, the programmers who created the software inside this newer version of an old product (same hardware platform) made software that cannot operate the combination of hardware, embedded programing, IOS and CLoud technologies such that the "product" offered, which is the scale plus the cloud ecosystem hat connects with your iPhone / iPad / Mac will work across the manufacturer's product line.In this case this entire family of weight scales.I have owned an original Whitings scale (it is essentially the same platform with updated embedded software technology) for nearly 4 years and it failed. But it worked every day and never let me down.I figured out that one of the pressure sensors died.So I thought that it would be a real simple matter to spend money to buy a newer version of the same weighing chassis.And then get it to work with my Whitings / Nokia App on my iPhone + iPad and the web enabled cloud platform that is offered.This way my new version of the old scale would work with my Activitie Pop and my very intermittently working Withings Blood Pressure gauge.Boy was I wrong. It has taken me well over two evenings of remove this, remove that, reboot this, reboot that, reconfigure this, reconfigure that, in terms of my new scale, my existing cloud account, my iPad and iPhone apps.And still no go.It is not that I am a newbie.I have been in this "high tech" high frustration industry for decades since the 80's and still work in it, especially in software engineering, web, cloud and process control applications. So I can follow directions. I can troubleshoot hardware and software and I can generally get things to work, even if I have to flash an EPROM once in a while.Not going to waste that effort any more.And definitely not going to try to fix Mr Withing's or Mr Nokia's scale product, as I think Nokia is in midst of selling the Whitings line back to Whitings.The heck with this company and it's product, as they have taken something that "just worked" and turned it into a device designed to make a user mad.ADVICE.Buy a simple technology scale, a pen, a notebook, and weigh yourself and look at the weight shown, then write down the weight daily next to a date entry, in the notebook......If you want to get fancy, plot it on a piece of graph paper.I know that after the almost 800 years since paper was introduced into medieval Europe, some might think that paper is still in "Beta" test.But paper with letters formed by pencil or ink, just works.You will be happier.Because this product does not work as advertised in the promised "ecosystem."Review Number Two, experience so far with technical support==================After posting my first review, out of the clear blue sky Nokia Tech Support reached out to me. Something I never expected.OK, they want to make it work, then I'll work with themSo far my impression is that they want to do what many health care people try to do....pander to you by keeping you in the dark.Without giving you anything approaching a technical discussion. But perhaps that is how their equipment is ultimately designed.I found that I finally could get the scale to be "seen" as a valid device by the Nokia Web App, the Nokia Health mate App, and amazingly on my ancient, charged up, as it sat on a shelf ancient iPad with the ancient Blue colored 3.13 Whitings App.BUT BUT BUT BUT the scale does not seem to be capable of sending my weight to the Nokia apps.What's further interesting, is that the error messages went away which leads me to no conclusion about anything.Even after rebooting everything.What's interesting is the last tech support suggestion.....=============================================================Could you please remove the batteries from the scale for a full 60 seconds and then reinsert them? Once you have done this, place the scale on hard floor, wait 10 seconds, and weigh yourself. It is important that you wait 10 seconds after placing down or moving the scale before weighing yourself as the scale needs several seconds to calibrate. You must also wait 10 seconds in between each weigh-in so that it can recalibrate.If you see any arrows on the corners of the scale's display, this indicates that your weight is not evenly distributed on the scale. Adjusting your position on the scale will cause the arrows to disappear and should result in an accurate weight measurement. If the arrows do not disappear, your weight measurements will likely not be accurate. Let me know if the weight is now showing accurately.Please let me know how we may assist you further.Thank you and have a nice day!================================================Tried it, and no complete go. The scale can be seen but the weight does not get recorded in the app, even after upgrading all software.Did finally get a message on my iPhone about MAC address filtering, which I checked on my brand new Asus Router.Another thing.............. And this gets to be crazy and tells me that "Nokia, we got some form of software problem"I have an infamous WIthings Blood Pressure cuff that always acted up..In fact, one day it just died after about 45 days, and that was almost 4 years ago.Because I felt so totally scammed I did not have the heart to throw it out, and I was already past the return period.So I took the batteries out of it, threw it in a box and chalked it up to just poor software integration.Today, I remembered it, so for grins dug it out of the box in the garage, put new batteries in it, turned it on, it powered up, the newest version of the app found it instantly, app wanted to do a software upgrade, which it did, and now........after aging in a cardboard box in a dusty + dark corner of my garage like fine wine left to age, the blood pressure cuff now works flawlessly.Go figure, except that perhaps Nokia creates hardware products that are so far ahead of the software that Nokia is capable of creating, that you should buy the hardware and put the hardware in a box for 2-3 years to allow the software to catch up.I will respond to tech support with my findings to date, and report here later, when they reply.Stay tuned ===================================.
