2013-01-27: Update - it seems Withings have fixed the security issue. I have amended the title and increased my review to 5*. Very happy.
The product itself works well, you can stand on it and it immediately returns your weight, followed shortly by BMI and Fat. The scales feel like a quality product. The device does, as another reviewer has said, work perfectly under Linux operating systems (specifically in this case Ubuntu 12.04). The website works pretty well, it identifies you from your weight and assigns each reading correctly. If it has an unrecognised reading, then it is easy to assign it manually. Well, I say easy, once you realise that what looks like a Recycle icon is the assignment button.
The major downside for me is that there is no security on the site, at least at the time of writing. This means that everything you enter on the Withings site is transmitted in plain text from your browser to the website. This includes your email address, password (for god's sake don't re-use a password from another site), your date of birth and, of course, your height, weight, fat and BMI. And not just for you - also all your family members.
I emailed them and tweeted them, but 4 days later there has been no reply. They obviously care as much for their customers' comments as they do for security.
I decided in the end to throw caution to the wind, and use a long random password, and fake dates of birth. This was an inconvenience, but not a fatal one. There was a further issue in that one of the dummy dates I chose was 1 January 1970, which apparently is an invalid date according to Withings.
A security certificate for a website costs next to nothing for company and only takes minutes to set up. That Withings treat their customer data so casually is a huge concern.
A good product, but be aware that your data is not being looked after, I would recommend using dummy birth dates, a unique password and try not to be too paranoid about the world knowing your physical characteristics.
Perhaps oddly, given my comments, but I am happy with my purchase, but you have been warned.

is £119 excessive for a set of Bathroom scales?
YES
is £119 excessive for a device that lets me track my weight loss progress, send data to my trainer, view statistics and trends on my phone, send data to other online fitness services (such as runkeeper), keeps me motivated and interested in tracking my weight, and does all of this with very little input from me?
NO
They're still expensive for what they are though.
I've got into the habit now of stepping onto the Withings scale now every morning just before I get dressed for work, and I get fairly consistent readings. I think that some of the inaccuracies mentioned in other reviews don't take into account that you weight does fluctuate quite a bit throughout the day. And I do see variations in reading depending on the time of day that I step on the scales.
Do I recommend these scales?
Wholeheartedly yes, with the minor caveat that if you're on a budget you can achieve the same result with a pen and paper and a much cheaper set of scales.

Having always battled with my weight, not losing weight, but keeping it off, this product has been brilliant. Smart and stylish, easy to set up and with the iPad app easy to keep a precise track on where I am and my targets.
For me I weigh myself in the morning, generally I struggle to remember what my weight was yesterday, I used to get on the scales and see the new reading and often not be sure whether it's up or down.
With this product I can always see every measurement I've made.
The rest of the family have also taken it on and can all see their measurements.
I've had it two months and it's been 100% reliable and I believe accurate.
Expensive, but worth it.

These are recommended for anyone who is monitoring their weight and BMI whilst on a diet. The wifi capability is brilliant and fairly easy to set up.

No making notes or "forgetting" what you weighed a month ago. Just put it in your bed room and remember to stand on it. Read more
