Withings $150 WS-50 Smart Body Analyzer goes on sale from today

We wouldn’t blame you if, three months into 2013, you’d let those New Year’s resolutions slide a bit. Luckily for you, Withings is giving you a chance to wipe the slate clean after launching its air-sniffing flagship, the Smart Body Analyzer. As well as monitoring your weight and body fat, the new hardware measures the local atmosphere and your heart rate — to ensure you’re not overdosing on carbon dioxide. It’s available for $150 / €150 from today — just don’t forget to cancel the In-N-Out order on your way to the store.

Withings Smart Body Analyzer

Posted in: Today's Chili

withings smart scale 1 Withings Smart Body Analyzer [CES 2013] The Withings Smart Body Analyzer is not very different from what we have seen in the past, but what makes this edition at CES 2013 different would be the resting heart rate monitor and C02 analyzer that has been integrated into the device, which means that Withings is encouraging you to use this Smart Body Analyzer in other places apart from your bathroom. For example, how about placing this in your bedroom? This would help it get the relevant measurements to determine whether you are getting the right or optimal amount of oxygen required whenever you catch your beauty sleep.

This would no doubt place additional strain on the battery, but according to Withings, it is still able to last for an entire year’s worth of action while running on a quartet of AAA batteries. Hmmm, I guess there is no need to pick up a bunch of rechargeables in the long run then. Of course, there is this particular saying that goes, “in with the new, out with the old”, and with that, we bid adieu to Withing’s Connected Body Scale, so the current flagship is on its way out as the Withings Smart Body Analyzer arrives on store shelves sometime in the first quarter of the year for $149.99 a pop. Enjoy the photo gallery after the break.

Withings new flagship Smart Body Analyzer scale now measures air quality, heart rate (update: hands-on video)

Posted in: Today's Chili

Now that Withings has added a “low-end” model to its connected-scale pantheon, it’s time for the flagship model to get a refresh. The company’s latest Smart Body Analyzer may look like its predecessor, but now comes with heart rate and air quality monitoring sensors to make sure you’re getting enough oxygen. As before, the data is then pumped over WiFi to Withings’ website and mobile app, which can be shared as far as your dignity allows. Priced at $150, it’ll be arriving at some point in Q1, at which point we can validate our paranoid fantasies about airflow.
