Fitbit Aria 2 Wi-Fi Smart Scale Review

Okay, bought the scale. Does my phone need to be in the same room when I weigh in?

Great video, try this calculator, it is more accurate https://www.health-calc.com/body-composition/skinfold-d-and-w

withings is really sucks…i had errors 30times in 2months. it works for scale only and bmi checking has many problems.

No more nokia..

Great review, after watching it most certainly made my decision much easier.

btw, you could also do what i had said with the sculpt, take care

My fitbit died after the original batteries died, so it was a total waste of money.

Quick question. When the battery dies in the scale, do you have to “reset” the whole thing with new batteries? add in the users, configure wifi, etc?

Thanks

Good review, thanks.  I’m still going for the Aria as I already have a Fitbit wearable.  Incidentally, ‘stone’ is the imperial unit we Brits use to measure things.  1 stone = 14 pounds.  A bit confusing if you’re not used to it, but it’s worked for us for centuries (to add to the confusion, we use kgs too)…:)

does the scale work without wifi? when u step on it, will the stats still shoe on the scale even if you don’t want to upload it? some of my family members aren’t going to bed to upload the stats.

Very very helpful review. How’s the new Nokia app treating you? I just bought the body cardio and the apps reviews are dreadful. Is it that bad? what has changed?

If I have a Fitbit HR charger, whats the best scale to get that will talk to fitbit program? Aria? There will be two users, thanks

The fitbit said 50.1 lb because of the tissue underneath it. So it’s more accurate than the Withings.

I’d say the Skulpt is not as accurate as it claims. It may be more accurate for leaner individuals, but maybe not those over a certain BF%. I had a DXA done that said I was at 25%. I used the Skulpt and it said I was 20.3%. That’s a 4.7% difference, yet their site claims it to be within 1-2% of DXA. I e-mailed them about it and they requested my DXA scans so that they can have their research team look into it. But, in my experience it’s not accurate. My handheld OMRON said I was 24.8%. And that uses BIA which is purportedly far less accurate.

Disregarding the bells and whistles of the WS-50, is it still better than the Fitbit? Personally I don’t care about the forecast feature or the heart rate and air monitor.

I bought the Withings scale and I have a fit bit. Is there a way to get my weight recorded to get it link to the fibit app?

For the WiFi connectivity of these scales I can’t seem to find if a computer and/or phone on the same network needs to be powered on and wirelessly connected for the scale to be able to upload its data. I’d think it should be able to handle uploading on its own…but I can’t seem to verify this one way or another. Help? 😉

Thanks, great review. ���� The Withings will automatically sync to my Fitbit app right? Or will I have to do it manually?

Yesterday I set up my new Withings scale and it worked fine. This morning I get all X’s for profile, fat%, etc. At one point I realized my phone Bluetooth was off, so I started that. Then I had to reset the back of the scale. They paired, but I’m still getting X’s.

Two questions: I don’t always leave BT on my phone, so can I get this to work with my computer? (I tried downloading an app but my computer wasn’t listed on compatible devices.)

And, how do I get it to remember my profile?

And a third: since it “remembers” me, what happens if a guest who weighs close to what I weigh uses the scale? Will it somehow log in under my profile? Other scales I’ve had let you choose your profile first.

Thanks as always!

Does this scale display small changes from day to day? It seems that every scale I’ve ever had shows me at exactly the same weight for 3-4 days, then suddenly there will be a drop of a pound or more. All this despite steadily consuming fewer calories than I’m expending. I’m hoping for a scale which will show slow steady change. Or maybe it’s accurate and it’s just my body’s natural flow?

GREAT review! Thank you!
One question tho, these scales has been out for quite a while, is there a better one out now? Or these two are still the only ones that worth buying?

Great review. But I want to point out that for for the users of other FitBit products the scale app has much more features, since in syncs with your tracker

Fantastic review! I was debating between these two products and you helped me decide on purchasing the Withings Smart Body Analyzer. Thanks for making the very informative review.

omg HOW can scales with a such big price give different results?

Херня отсталая, Fargoss ‘one гораздо круче. Там показывает не только количество жира, мышц, но и количество мозгов, глистов, грибков, дерьма и даже длину волос везде, а у мужиков ещё и просто длину. Причём всё с прямой трансляцией в YouTube.

In all reality, you’re probably between 20-23%… you should start seeing upper abs around 18-20% and have a very visible 6 pack at 10-12%. 8-9% looks even sharper and is where most amateur bodybuilders come in for shows. 6-8% is ripped beyond belief and extremely difficult to achieve without the best genetics. Below 5% is nye impossible as your body needs at least that much to live.

No offense, but you’re no where near 14.7 percent. The 22% seems much more accurate.

I was dxa scanned at 15%. According to the skulpt my bf was 21%. That new algorythm is fucked up.

I bought the fitbit aria it was the fucking worst product I have ever purchased in my life. The software was complete fucking junk for android based phone. Would refuse to pair multiple users and would only connect to the phone when the router was set 2.4ghz band nothing noted in the instructions. Bought the withings and I couldn’t be happier FITBIT IS JUNK!!!!

Hi, let me tell you what i think you should do. I did the under water test many years ago and every year after i have the dexa done. You know this. The dexa is straight out accurate in everything it measures. What i did was take those exact numbers body fat muscle etc and go on the T bodyfat scale and work the numbers. if dexa is 15 percent bodyfat and the scale is 20, i go by the dexa so everytime u go on that scale, u measure the 20 percent as 15 bc thats what the dexa read. If you lose bodyfat and go down to an 8 your scale will be higher, 13% so that 13% is really 8%. I only go by the gold standard but its a pain in the ass to keep getting the dexa scan so ill do it once a year ps, Tanita company came out with a scale that is much more accurate then there other ones. i dont really understand the science but she said there scale use to measure one algorithm but now its 2

Great review! Are both suitable for being stored in a wet / humid shower room?

AVOID THE FITBIT ARIA SCALE AT ALL COSTS, there is no way to service it mine lasted a tad over a year and customer support is a joke. Look for yourself search for problems with Fitbit aria and you will see that there are common issues due to cheap components and bad design.

skin calipers and the dunking or water tank do not measure visceral fat ie fat in the muscle just surface fat. this is why the number is different. it is essentially a different test. a dexascan will measure visceral fat. thus the reading will be higher…sence the sculpt claims to measure muscle quality it by necessity is measuring visceral body fat. I just wanted to know if the reading on the sculpt would be the repeatable if done again after a few minutes.

Those dumbbells are probably not very accurate. You should check them on a scale that’s verified accurate first.
