Good for long-term monitoring. In combination with other devices from Withings a good extension
A good purchase, because it simplifies long-term documentation. The measurement of body fat percentage and pulse rate is somewhat inaccurate and depends on the moisture of the feet. If they are completely dry, you have a lot less fat than if you weigh yourself shortly after showering.
In combination with the Withings Activé and the blood pressure monitor, you have a good recording, documentation and monitoring of your health.Pro
- beautiful design
- Simple configuration
- Automatic data transmission via WLAN
Contra
- Pulse measurement inaccurate when compared to blood pressure device
- CO2 measurement higher than with the Netatmo system, even when the devices are next to each other.
Would buy again at any time
Great device with a well-designed app that mercilessly documents the calories burned. In any case, it's fun to lose weight!
Pro
- Simple set up
- Good quality - high-class impression
Contra
- Power consumption: battery level of 93% after two weeks

The scale measures very accurately: if I measure several times in succession at intervals of a few minutes, it shows the same result without exception (display accurate to 100g). The measurement at the doctor's in the morning on an empty stomach showed the same weight as the WS-50. Weight differences before and after bowel movements and/or urination as well as before and after eating seem plausible.
A practical plus of the WS-50 is the measurement of the pulse. The determined heart rate always agreed with the simultaneous results of a Polar chest measuring tape.
When measuring with the scale, it should be noted that the pulse is measured while standing and is therefore naturally higher than when sitting or lying down. However, if you regularly record your pulse, you will certainly not miss this. In general medical use, the pulse is taken while sitting or, in a hospital bed, possibly also while lying down, i.e. the target values are lower than for the pulse while standing.
Another practical feature is the CO2 measurement that the scale takes every 30 minutes. This sensitises you to ventilate regularly.
For technical reasons, the scale cannot determine the fat percentage for the whole body, as the measurement is based on the body's electrical resistance. The current does not flow from head to toe but from foot to foot via legs and abdomen. But the measurement is constant. However, clothing seems to influence the measurement. The value is quite suitable as a guard rail.
If it is raining outside, the scale shows this after the measurement with an umbrella.
All data is automatically stored in the online logbook and can be viewed via browser or smartphone/tablet app. The BMI is also calculated automatically there.Pro

The weights work well, synchronization with the mobile app is almost instant. Had some small issues with initial installation and heart rate monitor seem to return pretty random values.
