Smart...doorstop?
Nothing makes a fat guy more angry than when his network smart scale doesn't work.  It connected fairly easily, however when attempting to weigh myself I was getting "Sensing....Step....Sensing....Step"  I diligently read through blogs and reviews that this issue does occur.  I tried the recommendations, pull the battery...wait,  reset button,  reconnect to the network but nothing worked.  Pretty much the end game to this issue appears to be "contact customer service".  Yahh right... Sent it back to Amazon.<br /><br />One comment I read was that the weight cell can get out of calibration during shipping.  Made me wonder why there wasn't a lock out to prevent damage/calibration issues in shipping.<br /><br />Other than the above issues, it really is a fine scale.  Appears to be made well  and looks great, better than i expected.  But, if it doesn't work, its not much more than a door stop.<br /><br />Update:  returned device. Already got a new one.... Yeah AMAZON !!!!!!!!! Went through the wireless link up and it works beautifully !!!  My hypothesis ??? .... Weight cell  suceptable to damage... Packaging has no foam impact protection or sensor damage protection aka lock out device to prevent platter from hammering the sensors.  If you get the above error I would return it.  Don't waste your time with their customer service . I read a lot of comments about the above issue and Fitbit has never as far as I've read admitted that it is their device that may be defective.  So sorry to say I'm keeping my review at 2 stars . I'm sure the Fitbit allergy issue was expensive for them. If I was the ceo I would not want to go through that headache again. LOL<br /><br />Ok... Ok.  Fitbit threatened my family and so I have changed my review to 4 stars. I'm totally kidding about that.  After using it for a day I am impressed.  It really is a great scale, well built and if you read the directions it is very easy to set up.  I realized I was frustrated with the scale error issue and still am dubious about the fragility of the sensor so I made my review one star short of perfect. Fitbit really needs to address packaging.  What changed my mind are two things:<br /><br />  1) If you can't set this thing up you are:(based on me reading other reviews)<br />  a) A complete moron<br />  b) Are having an issue with your network<br />  c) Don't read directions (like most of us)<br />  2) Fitbit really did go out of their way to email me back quickly regarding fixing the issue. I just chose not to spend the time with their customer service
