Fitbit is showing off a new WiFi plate that track your weight unit and beam it to a database . Oh , hey , Withings much ? Sure . But it ’s a concept whose time has fare , and this looks like a well - done variation .
It cut through up to eight individual users , and will upload your weight to an on-line database , where you could supervise it using Fitbit ’s iPhone or Android app ( the latter is coming in February ) . It will graph your weight unit , body fat percentage , and consistence great deal forefinger , charting each . you could also take in badges and share achievements and , um , I just fell benumbed during the gamification gunpoint of the demo . But ! It also helps you follow weight loss goals when used with the Fitbit Ultra , using kilogram calorie in and calories out as a metric , which is actually quite skillful and the only game you should be concerned with .
The elephant on the scale is Withings ’ WiFi scale . They ’re very similar ! Even in appearing , there ’s a showy fateful version that count almost identical . At $ 129.95 the Fitbit is a little loud , and if you already have a Fitbit product , this is probably the choice for you . And quite honestly , once you ’ve used a WiFi scale , it becomes pretty obvious that at some spot all scales will ( or should ) relay your weight back to a database .
This one is available in April . You ’re go to love it , fatty .
