Instead of recording your weight manually, smart scales do the job for you, syncing with various health apps so you can track your weight over time. The answer is quite simple - convenience. PMID: 32168728 PMCID: PMC7151625.I've been asked many times about the benefits of owning a connected smart scale. Withings Body Cardio versus Gold Standards of Pulse-Wave Velocity and Body Composition. Collier SR, McCraw C, Campany M, Lubkeman A, StClair P, Ji H, Sandberg K, Morgan JW, Smith CJ.“Arterial Stiffness and Hypertension – Which Comes First?.” Maedica vol. Ecobici, Monica, and Claudiu Stoicescu.The main two selling points are the pulse wave velocity measurements, so I can see objective changes in my cardiovascular health and the automatic data syncing, so I don’t have to remember to sync data every week for the rest of my life! The Withings is more expensive, but I plan to keep it for many years, so the price isn’t that big of a deal! The Renpho is simply MUCH cheaper! My choice: Withings! Support is okay at Renpho, but I didn’t even need it for Withings! Renpho has many additional metrics, but I don’t care about those. Withings wins because it also has measures pulse wave velocity, which I can use to objectively judge my cardiovascular health. I mostly care about weight, fat mass & muscle mass measurements, which both weights provide. They agree about weight and muscle mass, but differ in fat mass… I don’t know which one is correct… Data syncing with the Withings scale is automatic, so here Withings is the winner. The Withings scale takes 35 seconds for a measurement (Renpho takes 9 seconds), but you see your measurements during those 35 seconds, so it’s okay. The Renpho scale is smaller and thereby it’s easier to find a place where it will fit. Haven’t tested the support from Withings yet, so can’t conlude. Supportĭidn’t need support yet, because their website was well documented. All the extra metrics from Renpho is metrics I don’t care about. The Withings scale wins here, because it has one more metric (pulse wave velocity) that I care about. The reason I don’t care about heart rate is that my plan is to buy Oura, which can measure the average heart rate over the whole night, which I believe will paint a better picture. Arterial stiffness is a major risk factor for developing cardiovascular diseases 2, and cardiovascular diseases are the number one cause of death globally 3. Pulse wave velocity is the gold standard for non-invase measurement of arterial stiffness 1. The pulse wave velocity measurements from Withings is the main thing that would make me choose Withings over Renpho. The only ones I care about are: Weight, fat mass, muscle mass & Pulse wave velocity. It can seem overwhelming, but the only ones I care about for bodybuilding: Weight, body fat & muscle mass.īelow the metrics from the Withings scale can be seen. Available metricsīelow you can see the available metrics from Renpho. The problem is that I don’t know which one is more correct… Appīoth apps are intuitive to use and can show trendlines (for week/month/year) for all measurements, which is all I care about. They show the same trends in weight and muscle mass, but differ in fat mass. This is the fat mass from Withings compared with the subcutaneous fat measurements from Renpho. This is the fat mass from Withings compared with the visceral fat measurements from Renpho (the blue line at the bottom). Muscle mass measurements show almost the EXACT same trend.įor some reason the fat mass measurements don’t match up… Their weight measurements are ALMOST the same! Accuracy of the scaleīioelectrical impedance scales are not accurate, and should mostly be used to track changes over time. The reason Withings wins is that for syncing I don’t have to do anything else than standing on the weight, while with the Renpho I need to bring my phone, turn on Bluetooth, open the app and keep it open while taking the measurement. Withings does take almost 4 times more time, but in those 35 seconds it shows me all my measurements and a trend line for my weight, so I don’t mind waiting (the basic version of the Renpho doesn’t do this, but maybe the premium version does?). Storage: Can store up to 16 measurements without syncing.
#Scales wifi vs bluetooth how to
How to sync: Syncs automatically over wifi. Storage: It can store 10 measurements without syncing.
How to sync: Can only be done by standing on the weight with the app open. The Renpho scale wins here since my bathroom is small and it’s harder to find a place where the Withings can fit.
