Nice and easy, but short on functionality
This scale was a breeze to set up with my existing home WiFi, synced easily to the Fitbit app, and is pleasing to look at. BUT. Compared to the Withings (available for about $10 more if you look around) it's short on functionality. First, the only readings you get are weight and body fat percent. NOT BMI. Some other reviewers have mentioned BMI, but it's not. It's body fat percent, which is not the same.<br /><br />Then there's the issue of compatibility with various fitness apps. Maybe because it's so new, but it just didn't deliver in terms of talking to various apps. I like Lose It for my meal tracking (it syncs to Fitbit, and is WAY friendlier to use with barcode scans etc) but the Aria doesn't talk to it, and the Withings does.<br /><br />So if you're in the market for a high-end fitness scale that looks like a sleek piece of white or black glass on your bathroom floor -- compare features and functionality carefully between this and the Withings. Look carefully at the lists of compatible apps and data tracking. Both work well with Fitbit, but I think for the price you'll get more bang for your buck with Withings.<br /><br />That being said ... the 3rd party seller (Brookstone) were **awesome** in the customer service zone for my return. Very smooth.
