I wanted to love this
I love the FitBit Ultra and wanted to have an easier and more elegant way to track my weight.  I also wanted to be able to track body fat percentage, something my cheap scale couldn't do.<br />I read about difficulties in setting up the scale, and I thought that would not apply to me, because I am very technically savvy.  Well, it took me forever and many errors to set it up.  The scale keeps shutting off while in setup mode.  There is an app to use to set it up, but DO NOT USE IT.  The only way to get it set up is to do it manually by connecting to the Aria's own ad hoc network.<br />I was thrilled when I got it set up (finally) and started using it.  I tested it against my old scale, and first found it weighs about 2 pounds heavier than that scale.  I tried weighing multiple times, and each time I got widely variable results, several pounds different from each other within seconds.  My other scale always weighs the same.  My body fat averaged over 10 percentage points higher than what it "should" be according to my recent previous measurements.  I am morbidly obese according to the Aria by fat percentage, while my weight is within "normal" range by my cheap scale.  I cannot trust what this scale tells me in weight or body fat.<br />I tried to get help.  No, I am not on carpet, I am on hardwood.  No, there is not something on the scale affecting the conduction of the signal.  No, I am not moving the scale around so it has to recalibrate.  I have no idea what to do, aside of sending it back to Amazon.  I have given it almost 2 weeks to prove itself and it hasn't.<br />It is a pretty thing.  It has a very elegant presence, but its beauty is only skin deep.
