Convenient, except for setup
We use this in a very simple way: To keep a log of our weight.  Since the Aria does the logging for us now, it's just a matter of stepping onto the scales each morning before dressing, so we do it more consistently.<br /><br />As others have noted, the initial network setup is a bit of a mess.  I gave up trying to do it with my desktop computer (and I have a Ph.D. in computer science and have a pretty easy time with most network configuration stuff).  Doing it with a mobile phone worked, and that was a one-time process, so now it's ok.<br /><br />If you're curious, the reason the setup process is so fidgety is that the scale is trying to discover which wireless network to connect to (yours or your neighbor's).  It does this through a bit of a trick:  the scale temporarily acts as a wi-fi base station, and the configuration program on your desktop machine attempts to drop the connection to your regular wi-fi, connect to the scale instead, communicate your usual wi-fi connection information to the scale, and then switch both your desktop computer and the scale to use your regular wi-fi again.  Neat trick if it works, but there are lots of chances for things to go wrong, and not much you can do to trouble-shoot.  Since switching from one wireless network to another is something that smart phones do pretty regularly, the trick works a little better there.
