Body Scan 2 - gotcha when not using handle
UPDATE: Withings have replied in thread to indicate the support response was wrong, and they will be adding this feature before official launch, so all good!

Just some feedback as it may be as annoying to others as it is to me:
On the body scan 1, if you used the scale without the handle it would still do the same measurements a normal scale would do and still associate them to your profile (so essentially everything without the ECG or Segmental body)
On the body scan 2, if you don’t use the handle it ONLY does weight, no other measurements. Additionally it doesn’t even assign that weight to your profile. This is intentional according to support:
“Please note that if you use the scale without the handle, only your weight will be displayed on the scale; other important measurements will not be captured.
Additionally, the scale does not prompt you to confirm or select your user profile because it requires the handle to enable profile selection or to cycle through different users. Without selecting your user profile, your measurements will not sync correctly to your account, which means your data may not be saved or tracked properly. Therefore, the handle is essential for obtaining accurate measurements and ensuring proper user identification. “

This is really annoying because it was handy to have the basic measurements when doing a daily weigh in, and only do the full handle based measurement (along with how long that takes to go through everything) every few days.
It’s poor in my opinion that unless you use the handle it won’t even record your weight against your profile, the most basic function of a smart scale
