Overview of Wi-Fi weights Withings Body Scale

After reviewing the baby monitor Withings Smart Baby Monitor, I really became interested in production of Withings. I had brought from the States Scale Body Scale, which the whole family immediately fell in love. They do not just show your weight, but the monitored weight changes through a remote server of the manufacturer.

At the very beginning to do three simple steps: setting connection Body Scale in the home Wi-Fi network and server to have a personal profile on the link and download start.withings.com free application WiScale [iTunes link], through which we will follow the changes of weight the whole family. All will take approximately five minutes.

In principle, the same can be done through a web interface, but it is not convenient.

The most fucking chip is that the scales themselves determine who they should at this point, and record the readings in the appropriate profile. Here's how it works: I ask a son to stand on the scales.

The measured mass is transmitted to the server, where among the family members searched for the most close to this value. It is seen that 14.6 kg were assigned to this son, as evidenced by the name that appears in the upper right corner.

Bright band in the status bar displays the normal limits of body fat is equal to the difference between your weight and muscle mass. In each they own. If you want to know the personal standards, visit the following link.

For example, at my height and age limits of normal muscle and fat mass as follows:

But that show the scale.

Typically, you can set yourself goals, then the screen will display the weight that you have left to throw to keep yourself in shape.

The package includes four AA-batteries, USB-cable for initial setup of the weights, pads on the legs (if you have a carpet at home) and a proprietary tape to measure growth.

The choice has a black and white.

I recommend to watch the video, which graphically displays all the features of this amazing device.

Pros:
- Ease;
- Functionality;
- Design;
- Support for iOS and Android;
- During the operation - not just a visit to thoughts about weight, but active steps to reduce it.

Cons:
- Heavy, 2.3 kg;
- Requires the availability of wifi-router to support all functions;
- Price. Scales on Amazon costs $ 150 (shipping to Russia, no). In Moscow you can buy for $ 350.
