And like the other scales, it too can track multiple people in your household (or small business) and tie the data to their own accounts. Unlike the WS-30 though, it does keep track of body fat. And like the Withings WS-30, it too focuses on the basics. Like the Withings units, it comes in two variants (black, and white). Withings was the first WiFi scale company, and they’ve done a good job of holding that ground in terms of providing a reliable product, and an extensive software platform for 3rd parties to hook into.įitbit entered the scale realm almost 4 years ago now, with the Fitbit Aria scale.
I’ve used both of these scales for years, and from a hardware and software standpoint are among the best out there. Both scales are able to automatically track multiple people in your house, allowing you to tie data to their respective accounts. Additionally, the WS-50 adds a bunch of ‘environmental’ metrics like room temperature and CO2 levels. The core differences between them is that the WS-30 doesn’t do body fat, while the WS-50 does.
The $99 WS-30, and the $149 WS-50 (Note: Currently on Black Friday sale for $69 and $99 each). After I talk about the basics, I’ll dive into the specific features of each scale and then the pros and cons of the platforms associated with each scale.įirst up we’ve got two different options from Withings. The Contenders:įirst, let’s do a quick overview of the three brands that make WiFi scales, giving you a total of four units to look through. As you’ll soon see, it’s not about the scale you choose, but rather it’s about who your scale company sleeps around partners with. More importantly – to talk about what you need to know beyond the model. My objective here is to talk through the major WiFi connected contenders (and explain why I’m not going into the non-WiFi models). Some great, some overpriced, and some crap. That’s the core difference here: A graphical and automatically logged chart of what your body weight is really doing (whether your goal is loss, gain, or constant).īut there are a lot of connected scale options. Only to realize a month later nothing has really changed. But if you’re like me – it’s really easy to pretend week after week that the weight will go down soon when you step on the scale. I tested that previously – they are actually pretty darn accurate in terms of weight. And you know what? It’s going to work just fine. Sure, you can get an inexpensive $15 bathroom scale pretty much the world around. So as you rolled out of bed this morning perhaps regretting yesterday’s Turkey festivities, let’s talk about how to decide on a WiFi weight scale. More importantly though, they make it hard to pretend nothing happened. And for good reason – they make it easy to log your weight. Connected scales are all the rage these days.
