Wi-Fi rather than Bluetooth is the practical difference: it uploads without your phone in the room, which is the only way a daily weigh-in actually becomes a habit.
Withings Body+ Wi-Fi Smart Body Composition Scale
Editorial verdict
Grounded in published specifications
Summary verdict: Wi-Fi rather than Bluetooth is the practical difference: it uploads without your phone in the room, which is the only way a daily weigh-in actually becomes a habit. Automatic recognition of up to eight users by weight makes it work for a household. The body composition figures carry the same caveat as every consumer scale -- foot-to-foot impedance estimates the trunk rather than measuring it, and hydration moves the result by several percent.
Who should buy this
Households wanting an effortless daily weight trend for several people.
Who should avoid this
Anyone wanting an accurate absolute body fat figure, and anyone with a pacemaker.
Key strengths

Limitations
- Foot-to-foot impedance estimates the trunk rather than measuring it
- Body fat reading moves several percent with hydration alone

My mistake, but read the avoid note
Genuinely my own fault. Posting so somebody else does not repeat it. The listing says who should avoid this: Anyone wanting an accurate absolute body fat figure, and anyone with a pacemaker. That was my situation and I ordered anyway. It does what it says on the page — it just was not the thing I needed.

Does the one thing I bought it for
Wi-Fi upload with no phone present, which is what makes daily weighing stick. That was the whole reason I picked this over the cheaper options, and it is exactly as described. Also worth mentioning: Recognises up to eight household members automatically. Been using it now for about a month.

Happy with it, but go in informed
Wi-Fi upload with no phone present, which is what makes daily weighing stick. The one thing to know before ordering: Foot-to-foot impedance estimates the trunk rather than measuring it. To be fair that is written on the product page. I skimmed past it and had to rearrange things afterwards.
