Body Comp

If you're tracking long-term heart and metabolic risk, this scale surfaces visceral fat and vascular-age metrics most consumer scales skip.

8.2

If you care about more than the number on the bathroom scale — and want early, trackable signals of cardiovascular and metabolic health — this is the consumer device for you. The Body Comp goes beyond weight and body fat to give visceral fat estimates, a vascular-age score and a nerve‑health (EDA) readout, all synced over Wi‑Fi or Bluetooth to the Withings app and Apple Health. ## What makes it worth it The Body Comp packs high-end, clinically minded measurements into a user-friendly package: it reports eight body metrics (weight, fat mass, muscle mass, bone mass, body water, visceral fat, vascular age and nerve health) rather than the four or five most smart scales do, and Withings’ published testing shows tight weight accuracy (errors on par with lab comparisons cited in early reviews). The 3.5" colour display is easy to read on the scale itself, it supports automatic recognition for up to eight users plus pregnancy/baby/athlete modes, and it lasts up to 15 months on AAA batteries while syncing seamlessly to Apple Health and Google Fit. ## Where it falls short The Body Comp sits at the premium end of the market (Tom’s Guide lists it near $199.99/£189.95), so you pay for those extra medical-style metrics; if you only want weight and basic body-fat tracking a cheaper scale will do most of the same job. Some advanced readings like vascular age and nerve-health are newer measures and won’t replace clinical tests. If you want a scale that flags visceral fat and gives cardiovascular context rather than just pounds, buy this; if you only need a simple weight tracker or want clinical-grade vascular testing, look elsewhere.
