Extremely Inaccurate
At first I was extremely excited about my new aria. I've owned a fitbit for a few months and was excited to add this to my exercise gadget arsenal. My wife and I both use the product and noticed during our first week that the scale's readings seemed extremely off. We re-calibrated and tested it again which gave us a slightly more accurate reading.<br /><br />We've kept a very consistent pattern for measuring our weight: Always on a Friday, always first thing in the morning prior to food or drink (in a fasted state) and always in the exact same location. Each week our readings have been extremely spiky in an impossible way.<br /><br />The thing that seems to be most off is the body fat% reading (honestly, the most important measurement). I somehow went from 16% body fat one week to 46 the next, back down to 20 something and then spiked up to 60. If I had been eating or drinking a lot prior to the weigh ins, I'd expect this, but with keeping our same fasted state each time this just seems too wildly inconsistent (especially for the price).<br /><br />The actual weight measurements are off by about 2 pounds each time as well and vary by as much as 6 pounds just by stepping off of the scale and back on.<br /><br />I was concerned about these measurements so went to my local gym to have my bf% professionally measured and found that the scale hasn't been anywhere accurate at any point in time. I also tested several other body weight scales and found that I was consistently two pounds heavier than the scale reported to me (while still in a fasted state).<br /><br />Overall, for the price paid, I was expecting a lot more from this scale. I'll definitely be returning it this weekend .
