Withings, then Nokia, then Withings again. The Body Cardio is a very complete scale that measures your weight of course, but also does a lot more. In fact, it measures just about your entire body: weight, bone mass, fat mass, water mass and finally muscle mass. These measurements are relatively common on most higher end scales. Where Body Cardio stands out is in its part … cardio.

The scale is also capable of measuring your heart rate as well as pulse wave velocity (PWV). Unknown to the general public, the VOP makes it possible to measure arterial stiffness which is itself a factor in arterial hypertension. Prosaically, this is an additional way to detect cardiovascular abnormalities. It’s always good to take.

Obviously, the scale is part of the Withings ecosystem, so you will find the data in the Health Mate application, rather well put together and pleasantly designed. If you already have a Withings product such as a connected watch, this is a natural choice. It connects to Wi-Fi and has the good idea of ​​recharging via USB rather than running on batteries, Withings promises up to 12 months of battery life.

If you’re on a budget, you can skip cardiovascular measures and focus on other areas with the Withings Body Composition. On the other hand, you find the weight and the bone, fat, water and muscle masses. This is more than enough on a daily basis.

The composition is always measured using the bioelectrical impedance technique which requires the use of the scale barefoot (and dry) to function properly. It also has a pregnancy mode, then a baby mode to follow the growth of the infant by simply carrying it in the arms.
