I like the withings body cardio wifi smart scale ($70 at newegg ). It syncs with garmin, strava, myfitnesspal, golden cheetah, etc. I have had a similar model for 2 or 3 years. Tells me everyday whether I have gained or lost weight as well as the weather.

I have the scale that's one up from this one and I can attest to it being great (I've had one for 3 years). It also can differentiate between users, so there's no manual fiddling with different people who want to setup a profile on the scale.

I read that when Nokia bought Withings 12-18 months ago they played with the app that works with the Withings scales and totally screwed it up. This has put me off buying a Withings scale.

Is this correct?? How crucial is the app to using the scale and seeing the trends etc???

I just got this one, and am very happy with it so far.

I also like my new Withings wifi scale. I think mine is the Body+

Answering the other comment, the removal of the cardio feature happened before I got my scale, and I'm still very happy with it. (I don't even think mine would have had that feature.) I think the feature removal was because there was an FDA problem with the scale not being approved as a medical device, and therefore it was not supposed to give certain info/analysis. Something along those lines.

It is correct, but it's also true that they screwed so bad that they sold back to the founder and it's great again.

If you use a Garmin watch, get a Garmin scale. If you use a Fitbit, get a fitbit scale. Regardless, I highly recommend a digital scale-- they are worth it. They will automatically record and chart your weight, which is a huge aid in weight loss. Plus, the Fitbit platform does a great job with the calorie counting alongside burn, so you can take on the whole equation. Garmin does not do well on the calorie intake side but does way better on the calorie burn side.

I've never used their app for anything, I don't even have it. I set it up to sync with TrainingPeaks, which is where I view the data. In fact, I've only logged into the online console a couple of times to modify things from time to time.

After reading this, I went with Tanita. So far I’m happy with it. Not too expensive either.

All of my data collection is via Garmin, so I've bought Garmin scales. They're fantastic and they automatically log all of you information from the scales to Garmin connect so you can review it later, map trends etc.

Don’t mean to pry but what’s wrong with a cheap scale? Or what features are you looking for in a mode expensive scale? Even a huge ass used analog scale from goodwill will still give you on or around the same weight as the most expensive scale on the planet.

I still lapped everyone on the couch!

This^^^^

The digital scales I've used just had too many issues (settings, batteries, lag, repeatability, etc.). Finally just got a high-quality mechanical scale (Borg) for <$40. Instant read, easy to recalibrate.

I work in IT. Please stop buying our crap. None of it works right, and it is too expensive, and the cloud connectivity is eroding your privacy. We make money selling your data at every step, or have you not noticed?

You don't need wifi or Bluetooth or an app to measure you fricken weight. Buy a $20 scale.

Withings bought back that part of their business from Nokia. I've since gotten a Withings-branded Body+ and the app works flawlessly.

If you got the Garmin Index Scale, I recently added support for it to my subscription app Smart Scale Sync. It's popular amongst TrainerRoad users, and let's you connecting Garmin/Withings/Fitbit/Fitbit-compatible (ex: renpho) scales to Strava, TrainerRoad, Peloton, Concept2, Fitbit, Garmin Connect, and Polar Flow.

Also, it's kind of a roundabout solution, but if you have a Garmin Index scale you can use it to get weight into Zwift by going Garmin -> Fitbit -> Zwift.

Apparently you're no longer using Alice for requirements gathering.

Damn on top of the obvious mess that are unnecessarly connected object that opening sentence makes absolutely no sense. If you're fat you should eat less calories and maybe exercise more if you can do it. That's it, no money or gizmo in the world will change it.
