How we rated the Withings Body Scan

★★★★★3.8/ 5, Vora editorial rating

Our own assessment of a device we do not sell, weighted across six dimensions: accuracy 30 percent, coverage 20 percent, battery 15 percent, value 15 percent, comfort 10 percent, app and ecosystem 10 percent. Every score links to an independent 2024 to 2026 source.

Accuracy72

Fat-mass trend tracks DEXA closely but independent testing shows 15 to 30 percent absolute body-fat deviation and weak regional-fat mapping; the ECG is FDA-cleared.

Independent testing found body composition within 15-20% deviation from DEXA for users above 15% body fat, rising to 20-30% for leaner individuals, with significant body-fat overestimation for lean and athletic users. MedGrade ↗

Coverage & features92

For a scale's category purpose this is the deepest set on the market: 5-zone segmental body comp, 6-lead ECG, vascular age, nerve-health score and standing heart rate.

First health station FDA-cleared to detect atrial fibrillation via 6-lead ECG, plus segmental body composition, heart rate, vascular age and nerve-activity evaluation on one platform. HLTH News ↗

Battery62

Rechargeable and reliable but real-world life falls far short of the advertised year, so the spec-sheet claim is not what reviewers actually got.

Real-world battery life measured at 3-4 weeks versus the advertised 12 months per charge. MedGrade ↗

Comfort85

As a stationary stand-on scale it is effortless for its form factor, capturing a full reading in 90 seconds with nothing to wear, though it is a snapshot device.

A single stand-on session screens the full body in 90 seconds, localizing muscle and fat mass across 5 zones plus ECG, vascular age and standing heart rate with no wearable to keep on. Withings USA ↗

App & ecosystem86

The Health Mate app is rated best-in-class, core metrics need no subscription, and data syncs cleanly into coaching apps like Vora.

Health Mate app scored 84/100 with best-in-class display and interface; the device works without a subscription, with Withings+ optional at $9.95/month. MedGrade ↗

Value58

No mandatory subscription, but a $499.95 price well above mainstream premium scales is hard to justify given the absolute-accuracy limits.

Current US retail price is $499.95 with no device discount (one free month of Withings+ only), versus premium consumer scales such as the Garmin Index S2 near $150. Withings USA shop ↗
