On the surface, the Withings Body+ scale is not all that different from the FSA-eligible Withings Body Smart scale that we like. It is Bluetooth- and Wi-Fi–compatible, and it can be connected to major health apps, such as Apple Health, Google Fit, Fitbit (and, according to Withings, over 100 other apps). It accommodates eight users and has a two-year warranty. But in our weight tests, we found that the Body Smart scale performed slightly better, and it has a higher maximum weight (440 pounds versus 396 pounds for the Body+). Also, the Body+ scale lacks a color screen. It regularly took longer for a weight to register on the Body+, with the reading fluctuating by half a pound (up or down) several times before landing on a number. If you choose to take stock in advertised advanced metrics, the Body Smart scale also has more features, like advanced body composition and basal metabolic rate readings.
