Body Scan is Withings' health station rather than a simple scale. Its retractable handle enables a 6-lead ECG that screens for atrial fibrillation, plus segmental readings of muscle and fat across five body zones. Withings also lists vascular age, a measure tied to arterial stiffness, and an electrodermal activity reading based on sweat gland activity, which it describes as a wellness indicator, not a diagnosis. A full check takes about 90 seconds. Like the cheaper Withings models it pairs over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, has a color display and recognizes up to 8 users. At $499.95 it is the most expensive scale on this list and costs more than twice the Body Comp, so it only makes sense if you will use the ECG and segmental data. Withings has also launched BodyScan 2 at $599.95. For pure weight and body fat tracking, Body Smart or Wyze do the job for far less.
