I tried the new Withings Body Scan 2 at CES 2026 and was blown away by all the longevity-based wellness insights it generated in just 90 seconds, including details about my heart, metabolic, and cellular health.
Incredibly simple to use, this new flagship Withings smart scale, estimated to ship in the summer of 2026, is built around the concept of empowering users with vital health data to help them reverse and/or slow the aging process.
Here’s everything you need to know about the new Withings BodyScan 2, the latest entry to our best of CES 2026 list.
Withings Body Scan 2: Price and availability
Before jumping into features, you’re probably wondering how much this thing costs. The Withings BodyScan 2 will be priced at $599 and is tentatively expected to ship by this summer. Several of the features have been submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for approval, and the smart scale will likely hit the market shortly after.
You can expect the BodyScan 2 to be sold through Withings directly, as well as Amazon and other major retailers.
Withings Body Scan 2: First smart scale with hypertension alerts
Following in the footsteps of the best Apple Watch models, the Withings Body Scan 2 provides notifications if signs of potential hypertension are detected in a user. This feature is by no means a diagnostic tool, but it could prove to be a lifesaver nonetheless.
Moreover, the Withings Body Scan 2 is the first smart scale I'm aware of (and I did some digging) with such a cutting-edge feature.
Of course, if you do receive a hypertension alert from the Body Scan 2, don’t panic, but do make an appointment with a medical professional for further assessment.
Withings Body Scan 2: Lots of logevity insights
Withings has dubbed the Body Scan 2 smart scale ‘the world’s first science-backed longevity station.’ Indeed, the insights into aging are pretty darn cool. Better yet, the scanning process is so straightforward that a penguin could probably do it.
Toward the front of the smart scale is an extendable handle with thumb sensors and a small display that guides you through the process. To take my reading, I simply gripped the handle tightly with both hands while standing barefoot — yes, I took off my shoes and socks on the CES show floor — on the scale’s platform.
90 seconds later, your results are ready to see. While the Body Scan 2 measures 60 biomarkers, those get combined into categories like heart age, vascular age, muscle-to-fat balance, visceral fat score, and more. For this demo, I got insights into these four specifically (they kept it simple for the show).
For example, the Body Scan 2 said that my heart age is comparable to that of a spry 36-year-old (I’m 37). Withings calculates this score by combining a user’s ECG (Electrocardiogram) and ICG (Impedance Cardiography) readings, taken during the scan using electrodes in the base and handle of the device.
My vascular score, meanwhile, was in line with my age group, while my muscle-fat-balance and visceral fat score were both below the average (or ‘optimal’) for my age (nice!).
These scores are accompanied by AI-powered insights to paint a clear picture of what they mean, how they compare to your peers of a similar age, and what actions you might want to take to improve them.
Withings Body Scan 2: Battery life
As you’d hope from such a high-priced smart scale, the Body Scan 2 features a built-in rechargeable battery that can last for a super-long time. I’m talking up to 15 months per charge.
Withings Body Scan 2: Outlook
Even though I barely scratched the surface of what the Withings Body Scan 2 will ultimately be capable of, I’m already hooked. Like the Withings Beamo at-home stethoscope I covered at CES 2025, the brand designed the Body Scan 2 so that literally anyone can take a comprehensive reading with minimal effort.
That sounds like a perfect combination of features and usability to make our best smart scale list. However, as with all CES releases, I'll hold off making a final judgment call until I've spent quality time with a Body Scan 2 review unit.
Ultimately, Withings hopes that the insights provided by its latest flagship smartscale will help users live longer and happier lives, which is an ethos I can definitely get behind.
