The Withings Body Smart is a Wi-Fi scale whose distinguishing feature is a mode that refuses to show a number. Reviews range from 3.5 to 4.1 out of 5: PCMag and Tom's Guide rate the body-composition detail and the app's explanations of it, The Verge spent three months with Eyes-Closed Mode and found it changed the daily ritual, and Tech Advisor is blunt that bioelectrical impedance analysis is inherently flawed. It suits people who want trends and context, not a precision instrument.
