Don't worry about printing. Get a Withings Body Cardio (retail price is a lot lower than the one listed on that page) and you will results in the app. Don't care about BMI? Great, follow fat, muscle composition then (much better). Also shows heart and artery condition.

Wow that is a dope scale.

https://www.jbhifi.co.nz/home-appliances/withings/withings-body-cardio-smart-scale-black/367181/ - Seems to be about $268 atm - but price history indicates it goes as low as $180, will have to keep an eye out for a sale. Beats the Xiaomi one i've got atm.

I had a lot of problems when I first got my Withings scales. I could see my results on the web site, but the iPhone app simply refused to show anything and it made my phone get really hot and ran down the battery. Their published troubleshooting procedures were ineffective, and it took a huge amount of time and effort to eventually get it working properly.

I would not buy another Withings product.

Having recently bought a Withings Connect BPM, I’m looking into their scales as well, given data goes is synced to the same app.

They have a cheap model that probably does all I need and that sometimes comes down below $70, but also have a new model (Body Comp) with a RRP of $200 and which seems to have more features than the more expensive model discussed above (though some features attached to a paid sub, which is free for the first year). Doesn’t seem to be available at any NZ retailers yet.

I have a Withings Body+ and it's excellent. I got it specifically because it will import values automatically into Apple Health, if that matters to you. Not may will, and I found the various workarounds to be extremely fragile.

Also it shows you the weather each morning when you step on it. A nice touch.

My first measurement showing in the app from my Withings scales is in April 2010 and there are almost daily readings through until now - so have had these scales for more than 12 years. I use rechargeable batteries 4 AAs and they last around 12 months.

So I have no problem in recommending them.

I have two Withings watches, the BPM Connect and the Body Cardio scales. They all work really well for me. Thinking of getting their themometre.

I have the Withings Body+ Scales which I find great. I've had my biometrics taken professionally and it's only out by 1-2%.

They also have a new version called Body Comp and another called Body Scan. I was keen on the Body Scan but it hasn't been released yet.

it's better to be fat and fit than skinny and unfit
