I am a passionate self-quantifier and believe in the Quantified Self adaption of the Peter Drucker philosophy: “You can’t manage what you don’t measure.” Therefore, I have tracked my body weight and composition almost daily with a non-connected body fat scale for the last decade.

The lack of connectivity of my old scale and the opportunity to upgrade to a newer device with more inbuilt functionality interested me when Withings announced the Body Scan during the 2022 Electronic Consumer Show. Body Scan is Withings most recent and most advanced body composition scale and the first with a handle. It is branded as Connect Health Station, and besides weight and body composition, it also analyses cardiovascular health and electrodermal activity and runs a full ECG during the weigh-in.

The device is not cheap, so after testing it for more than two months, it is about time to do a proper review and compare how it stacks up in terms of accuracy with competitors and a DEXA scan!
