The $99.95 Withings Body Smart scale adds a new mode that replaces your weight with motivational messages, step counts, air quality, and weather.
isn’t always the best measure of progress
. In that vein, Withings’ new Body Smart scale is adding an “eyes closed” mode. Instead of displaying your weight, the scale will instead show encouraging messages or metrics like step count, air quality, and the weather. It might seem odd to exclude weight on a scale, but it’s a helpful feature for folks who want to track their health but may have a history of disordered eating, are easily discouraged, or want to focus on other measures of progress like muscle gain. Or you could merely want to keep your weight private and viewable only within the app. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen this kind of feature.
On top of the typical BIA-enabled metrics, the Body Smart also introduces basal metabolic rate and metabolic age. While these features won’t be available at launch, Withings says they’ll arrive via an over-the-air update in May along with a pregnancy mode. BMR refers to how many calories a person burns at rest, while the latter compares your BMR against that of other people in your age group.
