FitbitAria Air Smart Scale

I've had this scale for almost a month now -It's really useful to know your body weight/progress and being able to see all the trends in the app is very motivating for my fitness journey.I started hard weight training about 1 month ago and use this scale as a way to track my progress. I have to say that I am quite pleased with how well it records results and communicates with the app – I haven't ever had a single issue with the accuracy, app sync or Bluetooth function.· The app tracks the weight whenever you use it - so I have a record of every measurement it's taken since I started using it.You will get your weight, and the scale will send this data to the app over Bluetooth where your BMI will be calculated and graphed.· A great feature for families or flatmates is that the app can store and track the data of multiple users via the same device or on different devices.This feature makes it possible for several people in a household to use this scale to understand their health better.👉 Using it is simple:Turn ON the app on your phone -> Step on the scale -> Wait for the prompt from the phone, and you're done!☑ Pros:✔ Multi-user friendly✔ Automatic sync✔ Stable Bluetooth connection✔ 3 AAA batteries included✔ Excellent build quality❎ Cons:- The app options/settings could have been better designed and organisedAll in all, I’m very pleased with my purchase.

There's a certain irony in being bothered enough about your weight to buy expensive scales, but also lazy enough that you want them to automatically record it for you :) That aside, usage is super simple. Open the Fitbit app on your phone, stand on the scales and wait. I've been using them for 2-3 weeks and had zero issues, with the weight syncing to the app in a few seconds each time. I find this especially useful as I get up in the morning without my glasses on, so being able to stand on the scales and have it record the weight without me having to actually SEE the scales is very handy.The scales register and display your weight *very* quickly and output it onto a nice bright white display. You don't need to kick or press on the scales to turn them on, just step on them and they come alive. Nice.£50 seems a fair price. They have a good finish to them and look smart and work great. I can't comment hugely on accuracy because I don't have a medically calibrated set of scales here, but obviously if you are tracking weight for weight loss, any slight inaccuracy isn't that important, it's the *change* and whether it's going up or down that matters. Leave the scales in the same place, use only these to track your weight and don't touch them and they should maintain the same level of accuracy/inaccuracy.

Don't get me wrong, I love Fitbit trackers and smart watches and have owned several over the years, culminating in their flagship Fitbit Sense which I absolutely adore. I was so into Fitbit that I threw away a perfectly good pair of bathroom scales in October 2020 to replace them with the Fitbit Aria Air and have regretted it ever since!Firstly disappointment, it doesn't even measure body fat! A £50 connected bathroom scale that doesn't even measure body fat! Seriously Fitbit?!! To be honest though, even if it did, I'm not sure the app would be able to use the data constructively. Yes the app is generally brilliant and can do some amazing things with the data it imports from its trackers and smart watches, but when giving you smart scales related data it is extremely lacking and basic.Next huge disappointment was the reliability of its Bluetooth connection. On average it would download the weight reading to the app about one time in five! I downloaded a software patch, and reinstalled it on the app twice, but it never improved. On the odd occasion that it did download, it was so slow that I had usually manually typed my weight into the app by that stage!I've heard reports doubting the accuracy of this scale. I don't know how true they are as I didn't have another scale to compare it with, so who knows. Simply hearing these doubts was concerning though, considering this is priced as a premium product.Final straw was when it started to give me spurious readings last week. Changed the batteries, but it didn't solve the problem and it started weighing 20lbs light! At that point I gave up and binned it. Have just spent £15 on a scale which connects to its app 100% reliably, giving me a plethora of data which the app graphs beautifully for me. It even looks better than the Fitbit and all for less than a third of the price!Here lies the problem - You are simply paying an inflated price for the Fitbit name and getting a very mediocre product in return. Come on Fitbit, you can do much better than this!

Fitbit Aria Air?A complete waste of time and money.Doesn't deliver against a single promise on the box...1: Easy smartphone set up = Yes, but..Only syncs to the fitbit app once, and then never again (sometimes Yes after resetting, but not always)2: Works with multiple users = No, didn't get this far as can't get it working with one user nevermind multiple (see #1)3: Displays & tracks weight = Yes it displays weight, tracks it? No (see #1) (again)4: Sends stats to Fitbit app = No (see #1) (again) (again)5: Syncs to your Fitbit app = No (you know where to look by now)6: Works alongside Fitbit trackers = No (works at allregardless of whether you have had the misfortune of purchasing other Fitbit products would be nice)In summary...Avoid purchasing one!Unless of course you love nothing more than resetting and reconnecting devices your smartphone on a daily basis? In that case buy two.
