I'm not a fan of buying hardware that relies on some third party service that could either shut down, or decide to charge for usage at any time. The hardware looks nice though.
Yes true. My existing Aria scale does at least show weight without any app or connectivity. But it is not showing the more advanced features without the connectivity.
I have the Withings and it works well as a digital scale. However, I think it's body composition measurements/calculations are bogus. It thinks I have a 3.8% bone mass, which would be 6.7 lbs. That's right it thinks I'm some kind of bird cryptid.
The Wii balance board had this feature too. Of course, one time my friends’ asked him to put down the baby or pet he was holding when he went to use it after a big dinner.
LOL yes I can believe that!
