I'll give you the tl;dr right up front: It fails to sync consistently (which is its primary role over a standard scale), so its going back. Full Review I've been tracking my weight and calories for a hot minute now using Fitbit, so I decided to add a smart scale to the mix to make it even easier. I just wanted something that I could accurately weigh myself on and have it automatically tracked on the app. This seemed to fit the bill, so I tried it out and found myself frustrated and disappointed. The good: -It looks and feels great. Very minimalist look that's easy to read with no fluff. Sits flat and doesn't budge. 1 star for that. -It seems to be as accurate (or at least consistent) as my current bathroom scale down to the .1 decimal place. Another star. The indifferent: -No other data other than weight. That's totally fine for my use case, but just something to know. -This is a Bluetooth smart scale, which means that the app must be open on the phone you wish to record the weight to. (It apparently can support multiple users and that's how it knows who is on the scale.) Its a little clunky compared to a wifi scale, but I knew that's what I was getting when I ordered it. I'd be perfectly fine with that setup, except.... The awful: -This thing will. not. sync. with the Fitbit app with any consistency. What is supposed to happen is you open the app, you step on the scale, and a popup opens to have you confirm the weight. It will do this, but only once immediately after the initial setup, and never again without a lot of manual persuasion. If you look this up, this has been an ongoing issue with this thing for years with no answer other than "turn BT off and back on, close and open the app, force stop the app and reopen, powercylce the scale, uninstall (?!?) the app and reinstall it, etc etc." The only thing that worked for me was to pull the batteries from the scale, wait a few seconds, put it back in, then immediately use it. But I have to do this every single time to get it to sync and that takes more effort than just typing in my weight manually. You might be thinking, "Hey dummy, did you try updating the firmware??" Yes, yes I did in fact. In order to update firmware, you have to download a completely separate app specifically for that (and good luck finding that in their documentation). Then, you have to hold a button (actually a touch sensitive nub on the back) until the "OtA" message shows up. In theory, the app and the scale will find each other and update, but guess what? They never seem to be able to do that. So you end up in this loop of needing the firmware update to fix the connectivity issue, but the connectivity issue prevents you from updating firmware. Really well thought out there... Maybe Fitbit support has more answers than their web presence would lead you to believe, but I'm not even going to bother at this point. There are dozens of smart scales that perfectly integrate with Fitbit, so I'll try one of those instead. I'd recommend you skip this and seek another option.
