Choose if	You want fat and muscle readings by body zone, an ECG function and blood oxygen from one scale.	You want Withings' app, Wi-Fi sync and body composition readings from a scale without a handle or ECG.
Main trade-off	It costs $599.95, its DEXA figure comes from a study of the earlier Body Scan, and the newest scores and Apple Health sync for new accounts need Withings+.	It reads through the feet only, Withings publishes no accuracy figure for it, and some people must switch off its body-fat readings.
Key specifications	Body composition method: Multi-frequency bioimpedance spectroscopy at 13 frequencies up to 800 kHz, against 3 frequencies up to 250 kHz on the earlier Body Scan, per Withings. It uses 12 electrodes, 8 in the platform and 4 in the handle, so the current runs from hands to feet. It reports fat and muscle for six body zones (arms, legs, torso and abdomen). Whole-body readings are body fat %, body water %, muscle mass, bone mass, visceral fat index and basal metabolic rate Weighing: Four weight sensors. Range 9 to 440 lb (5 to 200 kg) in 0.1 lb (50 g) steps. Units: kg, lb and st lb ECG, SpO2 and cardiovascular features: 6-lead ECG recorded over 30 seconds while you stand on the scale and hold the handle. SpO2 from a light sensor under your left thumb, which Withings calls a wellness feature. Also standing heart rate, pulse wave velocity, vascular age and a Nerve Response Score from the foot electrodes. In the US, Blood Pressure Insights notifications are a wellness score that Withings says doesn't measure your blood pressure Scan modes: A Daily Scan takes about 30 seconds and covers weight, segmental body composition, heart rate and pulse wave velocity by default. A Longevity Scan takes about 2 minutes, is offered every 7 days and adds ECG, SpO2, vascular age and the Nerve Response Score. Body composition, SpO2, ECG and Heart and Vascular Age need the handle. Without it you still get weight, BMI, pulse wave velocity and the Nerve Response Score Users and modes: Recognizes up to 8 users. The product page lists Athlete and Baby modes and says Pregnancy and Eyes Closed modes are coming, while a support article lists Weight-Only, Athlete and Pregnancy modes. Body composition is only available to people 16 or older Connectivity and app: Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n.
