What are the counterweights used for?. Do you need to purchase them in order for the scale to work?

Correct, don't need the counter weights unless you need to go over 350 lbs. Best scales we ever purchased. Had 3 digitial and they all read a different weights. Have been using for a year. Correct weight every time.

I didn't buy them. I think they are used to increase the weight capacity. The scale works great and is very accurate.

No you don't need to use them. We have had our scale for over 2 years and have never used them. The purpose of the weights, my understanding anyway, is for weighing objects over 350 lbs. They are used for multipliers to go beyond the 350 limit of the scales. Hope this helps

I don't remember the counterweights, but you don't need to purchase anything with the scale. It comes with everything you need.

I'm not sure, but I think the counterweights are used for weights over the 400 pounds allowed with this scale. Fortunately, we did not need the counterweights. They can be ordered separately, if needed.

Yes the counter weights are for use if your weight exceeds the capacity of the unit which is 300/400 lbs.This is an extremely accurate scale, beats the best digital 'stand on' scale I've ever used.

You dont need them unless you are over 400lb. They are to add additional weight to the balance

Everything you need for the scale to operate is included. There is no need to purchase anything else.

the counterweight is used if the person standing on it weighs OVER 300 lbs. You just attach the counterweight. You do not need to purchase it unless the person using it is under 300 lbs.

I think you only need the counterweights if you are over 400lb, which this scale is said to do. They are to add additional weight to the balance. We did not get them with our purchase, they were extras, that can be ordered if needed. You can contact the seller or manufacture and ask them. We are happy with this balance scale, you can get on it 5 or 6 times in a row, and still get the same reading, that we did not get on the number of spring scales we have had, that break so easily when bumped.

Yes, I use it as a basic scale without the app. The app is just an added feature that allows you to track your progress if you wish.

Hi, yes the scales still work as normal scales, iPhone not needed for basic weighing but needed for keeping track of your results. Hope this helps.

No this scale is too small for packages. Also regardless of the scale you decide to buy make sure you buy the tools for calibration such as the weight units

I have no idea what counter weights would be not included. Everything need was included...nothing had to be purchased separately.

Hello i bought a scale also recently are you putting the scale on the carpet or a hard sturdy floor Make sure its not on carpet and also put your feet in the center of the scale makes a difference

Yes you can. The plastic cover simply protects the scale from dust. Verify the dimensions of the scale b4 you purchase to be sure you can get all your weighables on the scale itself.

No Problems, If you adjust the small screw on the left of scale, you will get a proper weight. took me about 20 minutes to get it set right.

There is a hold weight function, if you set the scale on the edge of a counter you can reach under the box push the hold button and remove the box to see the weight. The scale pad also sits high enough that if you are level with the scale you can easily read the display.

The scale comes with the software. Because I use a Mac, then I downloaded a widget that can be used for the scale. If you are a Garmin user, you can also use the Garmin software to track your weight.

Do not depend on this scale. It is not accurate and you could end up paying overweight charges. I wanted to return it but by the time I was ready to use it for travel it was past the date allowed for returns.

YES! The company sells this scale with an adapter and adapters are available if you bought one without the adapter.

Yes you will need to purchase weights. Dimensions are available on the manufacturers website.

1st you must have a standard 100g weight. You cannot do it without it. Turn on scale, wait for 0.00 Then hold down the ON button until it reads 0. It will then flash 100.00, meaning that it wants the 100g weight. Put it on a flat stable surface, then place the weight on it and wait until it stops flashing. Done!

I've never tried it, but have you checked with the USPS to see if they have any calibration weights on site? I'm sure their scales, like all scales, have to be calibrated regularly. You could take it to them and see what they say. I live in a rural area and the local branch is never very busy, so I'm sure they would help me. A busier location may not be as helpful.

any scale can be at sometime. Have you been stepping on it so it registers some weight, then stepping off and waiting until it zeroes? That was my original mistake...not doing this. Was about to toss it, but now it works fine and is consistent

I'd have to research a response on the Withings web site. Another person has responded to your inquiry, and the answer seems plausible. Withings finally responded to my comments about the accuracy of the scale and it's inability to distinguish between users. If users weights are less than 10 pounds apart, each will have to stand on either the left or right leg to tell the scale which person is on the scales. I reaffirm my opinion that this is just something assembled so the company has something to sell rather than meeting a consumer need with a well engineered and serviceable appliance.
