Good scale, effortless uploads, user recognition okay
I am a new owner of a Fitbit Aria, and I love it, for the most part.<br /><br />It has all of the standard accuracy of other scales I've tried with the same weight and body fat capabilities, with little-to-no fluctuation of weight if I step off the scale and measure again five minutes later.<br /><br />It is beautiful, and it cleans easily. It is heavier than it looks, and it feels like it will last a long time.<br /><br />WiFi setup was very easy, and all of the data has been available on the Fitbit site immediately.<br /><br />For users with very different weights, the user recognition is excellent. However, my husband and I are about 6 lbs apart, and it gets us mixed up (easily fixed from the dashboard for recording purposes). It would be nice if it could take a little more into account in determining the user. For example, if we weigh at the same time each day, chances are good that we each match with the one that we were closest to the day before, not the one 5+ lbs different. Additionally, our body fat percentages are very different, so I don't think it is using that to help determine user.<br /><br />That being said, our daughter and my best friend are about 100 lbs lighter/heavier than we are, and it recognizes them with no trouble, so this shouldn't be an issue in households with more varied weight. I will update again as to whether users are still confused around 10 lbs of weight difference.<br /><br />Bottom line: The scale is worth it, with just one flaw that takes about 10 seconds to fix via the Fitbit website.
