====== Withings' range of scales ======

I don't find it easy to find a succinct summary of the range of scales made by Withings on their website, so here's a summary I've compiled from various sources.

^ Released ^ Brand ^ Device ^ Product Name ^ Measurements ^
| 2009 | Withings | WBS01 | Wi-fi Body Scale | Weight, BMI, Fat |
| 2012 | Withings | WS-30 | Wireless Scale | Weight, BMI, Weather, Weight graph |
| 2013 | Withings | WS-50 | Smart Body Analyser | Weight, BMI, Fat, Weather, Air quality, Heart rate |
| 2016 | Nokia Withings | - | Body Cardio | Weight, (BMI), Weather, Body composition, Hydration, Heart rate, Pulse wave velocity (removed) |
| 2017 | Nokia | - | Body | Weight, BMI, Weather, Body composition?, Hydration? |
| 2017 | Nokia | - | Body+ | Weight, (BMI), Weather, Body composition |

Notes:

  - [[https://support.withings.com/hc/en-us/articles/220307968-Body-What-are-the-differences-between-the-different-scale-models-|this table]] and [[https://support.withings.com/hc/en-us/articles/201712203-Smart-Body-Analyzer-WS-50-What-are-the-differences-between-the-different-scale-models-|that table]] from Withings' own website show contradictory information about the **Body** scale.
  - the scales do not actually __measure__ Body Mass Index - they simply calculate it from the measured weight, and the height you entered for yourself when setting things up.
  - if (**BMI**) is in brackets, it means the app will do the calculation, but the result is not shown on the scale's own display.
  - the scales don't measure (or forecast) the weather for themselves - they depend on knowing your location and simply look it up online.  The WS-50, on the other hand, __does__ perform its own measurements of air quality using internal sensors.
  - the **Nokia Withings Body Cardio** measured pulse wave velocity when it was released, but this was removed in a firmware update in early 2018.

I own two WBS01 (one black, one white), a WS-30 and a WS-50 (all purchased from eBay - for €10.50, €14, €17.40 and €11 respectively (including shipping).  All were described as 'defective' in some way, but a good example was "the scales work, but the display is upside-down", for which the [[https://support.withings.com/hc/en-us/articles/201489217|solution]] is given on Withings' own website - take the batteries out, wait 30 seconds, then replace them...).
