preface

Weight is our focus on physical health indicators. There are generally two scenarios for our weighing. One is in public, such as supermarkets and pharmacies weighing their own weight at random, and the other is weighing at home regularly. The second is the most necessary for people who need to keep fit or healthy. With the popularization of intelligent technology and equipment, the scale is becoming more intelligent. Connecting with mobile phones, you can record and observe your own historical data to control your weight.

Withings is a French company founded in 2008, The products of Things include smart watches, smart scales, electronic thermometers, wireless sphygmomanometers, intelligent sleep systems, etc. They are all health smart products. The Things Body smart scale is one of its products, which can display our weight, body fat and moisture content, as well as bone and muscle mass, and understand the overall health and fitness situation. There are a lot of smart scale products now, with prices ranging from tens to thousands. What's the difference of this thousand yuan smart scale?

Unpacking

The outer package of the Withings Body intelligent scale is similar to that of the general scale, but it is more abundant in the design of the pattern. The foreign products are mainly in English. In addition, the eye-catching product pictures are different from the simple style of the domestic products. The other difference is that the shell uses the envelope design.

The intimate design of the details also includes this handle, which can be pressed flat into the box when not in use, and pulled out when needed. It is the most appropriate gift. This product is provided by the company for trial use. Thank you Love to play computer games The platform constantly brings us high-end technology products.

Withings is a French brand and a high-end international brand. Its characters are in many languages. Of course, simplified Chinese is indispensable in the Chinese market. All functions and features of the product are listed on the package.

Some general information can be found in the side description. This scale weighs 2kg, and the weighing range is 5-180kg. It should be said that it can meet the weight from children to adults. It is equipped with 4 sensors and has infinite continuous function.

The scale is inlaid, and will not move or rub during transportation, which ensures the safety of the product. When it leaves the factory, it is also wrapped with a layer of plastic paper. It is just such an expensive product. Whether it is too simple to pack it in a paper box or foam pad is more reassuring.

The product manual is in the consistent style of Withings. The white words on the blue background of the color printing are very eye-catching and have a very grand feeling.

The instruction manual is very thick, but the content is not much, because it shows the basic usage in the form of graphics and text, and has many words. For a scale, the use should be very simple. The complexity of Withings scales should be in the installation and configuration of APP, but the instruction manual is too simple in this regard.

Product details

The appearance of the Withings scale is still standard. The surface is white tempered glass, and the middle is a metal cylinder. As the support connection of the whole product, the display screen is located at the upper end. The square plane and the corners are treated with arcs. The whole appearance is fresh and natural.

There are etched words "Things" in the bottom center of the weighing panel, which shows the low-key and noble brand of Things. There are many kinds of intelligent scales of Things. This is the Body series, which belongs to the middle and high-end scale.

Look carefully at the weighing panel. It is divided into four areas by shallow engraving. This is also the sensing area for weighing the left and right feet, which can facilitate the adjustment of the center of gravity and the placement of the feet.

Seen from the side, it is composed of a toughened glass panel and a PVC plastic base. The thickness of the support leg is 25mm, and the thickness of the toughened glass panel is 6mm. The edge and joint treatment is very fine and smooth, and there is no burr.

The bottom of the Withings scale is the key to the scale. It is formed in one piece, flat and smooth. The radian shape around the edge can be placed for sideslip. The four feet are evenly distributed at four corners.

The information on the bottom seems to be made in Japan, because there is only Japanese product information, which is somewhat strange, and its measurement range is 5 kg to 150 kg, which is different from what is marked on the packaging box. I don't know which is correct.

Smart scales are powered by batteries. Four No. 7 batteries are pre installed when they leave the factory. They can work normally only by pulling out the battery insert. It is most practical to use ordinary batteries. Many scales use button batteries with different models, which are difficult to buy.

If you want to use it on the carpet, you need to install four foot pads so that you can accurately weigh them. The foot pads are equipped with 3M double-sided adhesive tape, which is easy to stick. After installation, the feet can shake a little, which is convenient for finding the center of gravity of the body. The height of this intelligent scale has been improved to a certain extent after the feet are installed. The feet are hard plastic, and the contact area is small, so it is easy to slide, and the hard ground is unnecessary.

There is a Bluetooth configuration button on the top of the battery box. This scale is connected to the mobile phone through Bluetooth. In the initial configuration, you need to use this button to start the Bluetooth signal.

APP function

As a smart scale, it can not be separated from the APP on the mobile phone. The current smart scales are all in this mode, and most of them are connected to the mobile phone through Bluetooth. With the help of the mobile phone APP, their powerful functions can be reflected.

The Withings product shares an APP, which includes all its current products. I used the Withings smart watch before, so there is no need to install it separately. But the initial installation of the APP took a lot of trouble, because it is connected to a foreign server, and the program download is slow.

There are many other types of Withings intelligent scales. We can add them by selecting the body model. Follow the steps to start Bluetooth pairing and quickly complete the configuration.

For the first time, you need to set a target value for your weight. If you set a small target for yourself every week, you will achieve a big goal. It seems that the concept of Things is still ahead of Wang Shoufu. In the main settings page, in addition to the battery power display, you can also set the message reminder display, and more importantly, you can set the WiFi connection, because it can display the weather conditions and automatically obtain information through the network.

Many products of Withings are integrated into one APP, which can be used comprehensively. It is different from the domestic APP interface habits. It is mainly divided into timeline, dashboard, my device and help center. The classification is very clear, and the color application is bold and clear.

The time line display is divided into three sub items: sleep, exercise and weight. Similar to the health detection of our smart bracelet, it must be used together with its watch, intelligent sleep system and other devices. The time line is represented by a trend chart, while the dashboard is represented by a graph. The same data is displayed in different ways. We can understand that every day, every week The weight in January is very useful for people who need to keep in shape.

In addition to weight data, the Withings Body scale can also provide body composition and BMI data analysis. Body composition includes body fat, body moisture, body muscle and other indicators. It is said that Position Control is used ™ Although it is still unclear what its principle is, BMI, or body mass index, is the number obtained by dividing the weight in kilograms by the square of the height in meters, which is currently a commonly used international standard to measure the degree of obesity and fitness of human beings.

Product experience

Before use, we first find out the precautions in use from the APP system. Only when we step on the scale barefoot can we accurately measure body composition. The scale must be placed on a hard ground. If we want to use it on the carpet, we must install the foot pads mentioned above.

When stepping on the panel for weighing, if the center of gravity is unstable and deviates, small triangles will flash at the four corners of the display screen, reminding that the center of gravity needs to be adjusted until no small triangles appear, indicating that it can be weighed and the number will stabilize.

As a scale, no matter how powerful its intelligent function is, the first thing to ensure is that the data is accurate. To test, I use another intelligent scale for comparative measurement.

Weighing at the same time, the data are completely consistent, indicating that the data of the two scales are accurate and trustworthy. If they are inconsistent, I have prepared to add another scale for comparison, and now I can explain that there is no need to add more.

After weighing, the Withings Body scale can display weight data and recent weight changes, which is very useful. When we know whether it is heavy or light, it can also display body fat and moisture. We have no direct sense of these data. Finally, it is the highest and lowest temperature of the weather temperature. Its original purpose is to remind us to dress according to the temperature, although it is not useful, It is also a considerate service. On the whole, the content displayed on this scale is the richest product I have ever used, which is also worthy of its price.    

The functions of the Withings Body scale are very powerful. It can be used by many people in the home, can intelligently match everyone's data, and can display and record many data. However, the integration with the habits of domestic users is still quite high on the APP display, and the depth mining of many data is not enough. A simple display cannot really be called intelligent, It is the most important to make useful suggestions on our health data, which is also lacking in the current intelligent scale ticket. There are many health products from Things, and they also need to be integrated and shared. I now use smart meters and smart scales. If I feel that I am overweight, can I remind me when I exercise, provide targeted exercise volume as the goal, and then can I put forward appropriate suggestions on diet and lifestyle? If I can do these, it is the ideal product in my mind.

Summarize recommendations

The Withings Body intelligent scale, as a high-end intelligent scale, continues the consistent high beauty of Withings products and has very powerful functions. It can display our weight, body fat and moisture content, as well as bone mass and muscle mass, and even can see the local weather forecast, which can play a very good role in helping us understand our health status in a timely manner.

It is suggested that the product should be further explored in terms of intelligence and provide effective measures. The APP interface and habits are more suitable for the use of Chinese people. Bluetooth connection can be optimized. The connection of smart watches that used to use it is very uncomfortable. Whether it can be changed to direct WiFi access to APP display can be viewed remotely.
