Can't trust it
Love the FitBit Ultra and have really increased my activity as a result of watching my steps, so the Aria seemed like a natural addition to the family. I bought mine at a Brookstone retail store (same price as Amazon).<br /><br />From the start, I knew this would be a problem. I'm a geek and I never read the instructions. This time was no exception but I failed miserably. So I broke down and followed the instructions step-by-step.  I still found it difficult.  Maybe I was over-thinking it, but it took me close to 30 minutes.  Once I did get it connected, it sync'd perfectly. Both my wife and I added it to our FitBit profiles and were able to track our weight without writing it down. It's really cool that it knows who is on the scale without you having to tell it.<br /><br />The problem is that it just didn't give consistent weight readings. I would get on the scale 3 times in a row and have variations between 1 and 3 pounds, sometimes more. Often the first reading was the outlier.  The body-fat percentage varied wildly, especially before and after shower. Honestly I could live without the body-fat reading, but weight must be consistent. I used Aria daily for two weeks and the bottom line was: I just can't trust it. So I went back to my simple, inexpensive electronic scale that is rock-solid reading after reading.<br /><br />Aria went back to the store and they gave me a refund without question (be sure to bring your receipt and the exact same card or you'll end up with store credit).
