The Withings sale has started: this is the week to buy a smart scale
Withings smart scales are the gold standard. If you can afford one of the new lines launched last year – the Body Scan, the Body Comp and the Body Smart – there isn’t a better option available.
But the catch is that they are pricey and don’t often go on sale. That’s why now is a good time to buy. Withings has discounted its new line until April 17. If you don’t know which model to choose, check out our article on which Withings smart scale to buy.
To get the deals you’ll need to go to the Withings US or Withings UK site and register or log in. Then you can access the Withings Days sale.
Here are the best offers.
Body scan
The Body Scan is Withings’ flagship and – at least at this stage – the ultimate smart scale. It gives you much more than just fitness data. It also tells you about your health.
In addition to all expected body measurements (fat, muscle and bone mass %, water %, visceral fat index, BMI, BMR, resting heart rate and metabolic age), plus in-depth heart health information and nerve health data, Scan provides segmental body composition: thanks the retractable handle with further electrodes it can give you the fat and muscle percentages in your arms, legs and torso – while other scales can only give you total body composition percentages.
Find out more in our Body Scan review.
The Body Scan normally costs $399.95/£349.95, but you can buy it on sale for $359.95 in the US and £309.95 in the UK, saving you $/£40.

The Body Comp is the mid-range scale in the new Withings line, but by the standards of any other brand it’s a luxury tool. You get all the measurements you need (fat, muscle and bone mass %, water %, visceral fat index, BMI, BMR, resting heart rate and metabolic age), plus a vascular age, to provide more insight into the health of the heart. and a nerve health score.
