Cool stuff, a little tricky to set up
The scale is a bit tricky to set up. In a nutshell, the way it works is that the setup application guides you by gathering your Wi-Fi information, disconnects your PC/Tablet/Phone from your Wi-Fi, connects to you to the scale's wi-fi which acts as an access point, sends the connection information, then the scale connects to your wi-fi, you connect back to your wi-fi, and it's all done. The windows app didn't work for me, so I used the web-based app for phones on an android tablet and it worked.<br /><br />Now the tricky part is to get your weight to show up as yours, not as a guest. For that, you need to go to your fitbit account on the web site (the fitbit app doesn't do this). Then you claim the measurements as yours by selecting yourself on the dropdown box. From now on the scale will &#34;recognize&#34; you.<br /><br />The rationale for buying this scale and why I would recommend it when it costs 7-8 times what a standard digital scale would is that getting a single measurement is insignificant. When you weigh yourself, you want to know the trends over a period of time, whether you're going up or down or steady, and some days fluctuate. You can do it on any scale by logging the data into excel and that's how I did it in the past, but this is so much more convenient, as the data just pops up on the fitbit dashboard!
