Just got it, Love it
I was anticipating a ton of trouble setting this up after reading the reviews. Thankfully, it set up fairly fast and I didn't encounter any of the problems a lot of others have reported. I did set it up on a Mac, and I think most people have trouble setting up on a Windows computer. That said, my recommendations are as follows - 1) Make sure to disconnect your host computer's ethernet cables. This makes sure that the computer is using the wi-fi network that it will share with the Aria. 2) Pull the tab out of the battery compartment (without removing compartment cover, as instructions say) BEFORE running the set-up. 3) Download the software and get started. I think where people might be getting tripped up is by not disconnecting their ethernet cable on their host computer.<br /><br />Anyway, the set-up did pretty much everything itself on a Mac. I didn't even need the network password as my mac shared it from the keychain after asking me if it was ok. The scale and the way it uploads and that information immediately synced to my fitbit app on the iPhone the next time I turned it on is pretty remarkable.<br /><br />I'll follow up in a few weeks after daily use (what it's really designed for), but if it's anything like my fitbit flex, I think I'll be a happy camper. You have to be pretty committed to logging everything you eat and staying on top of it, but I think doing that has made me MUCH more aware of how many calories are in the foods that I'm eating (and drinks), and also I'm aware of days that I'm more sedentary. The other upside is that if you do work out, you'll be surprised how much you can eat since you'll be logging that and then eating back the exercise calories. It's just a healthier way to diet since I just eat normal foods but know when to cut back if I'm logging and tracking my activity level/calories burned. I'm hoping the scale makes this even better with the granularity of always knowing exactly where I stand in terms of weight loss.
