Since 2009 and its first connected scale, Withings has come a long way and gained weight. The fourth generation of 2.0 bathroom scales, the Body Cardio wants to print a more comprehensive approach to weighing by adding pulse wave velocity measurement. Kezako? Read on to find out how to weigh yourself smarter.
The Body Cardio is unquestionably a high-end scale. And a success. Although it is extremely easy to use, do you have to set the bar so high if you want to equip yourself? Yes, if you want to weigh yourself very regularly (as part of a diet or training); yes, if you want to benefit from the manufacturer’s expertise; and yes, if you want to strictly follow certain data while remaining vigilant about your health. With, in particular, the new measurement of pulse wave velocity, the Body Cardio becomes the only connected scale for the general public to go so far. It is beautiful, practical, motivating, but it remains an expensive tool that not everyone will necessarily use.

NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude prices from shops whose the VAT policy is not clear (known as “grey” shops, typically in the case of imports from China).
