Some time ago I bought a body fat scale to keep track of my diet and training progress.
A really cool scale that I could connect to my pc via a USB cable and upload date, weight, body fat percentage and lean body mass.
I really liked it, but now I really wished I had known about this cool body fat scale from Withings 6 months ago.
Withings WiFi Body Fat Scale - Connected Bodyscale
It’s been a long time since I was so thrilled to read about a gadget – but this Body Fat scale combines functionality with a cool feature – and looks good as well.
The thing about my USB scale that I loved the most was that I didn’t have to write all my stats down every morning and manually type them into a spreadsheet to get the graphs I wanted – I just plugged the USB cable in and uploaded the data once a week or so.
But there was one major hassle – I had to pick up the scale, make sure I didn’t drop it, walk down to my PC on the ground floor to plug it in – and carry it upstairs again afterwards.
The body fat scale from Withings takes that hassle away. You see, this is not just an ordinary scale – it has a built-in wireless connection so you don’t even have to worry about USB cables anymore.
Withings WiFi Body Fat Scale iPhone and Web App
So, the scale is good looking, it connects and uploads data wirelessly – and both the free iPhone App that comes with it and the web interface looks really cool.
And there’s a chance it can become even cooler since Withings have released an API for it – so be on the lookout for integration with various fitness and health oriented websites that currently allows you to track your weight.
I checked the specs and not only does it support measurements in both Kilo (kg) and Pounds (lbs) – it also supports displaying your weight in Stones and Pounds (stlb)
It measures with a precision or granularity of 0.1 kg which is the norm in current electronic scales.
It measures body fat and lean body mass and calculates your BMI as well.
Unfortunately I’ve used up all my “can I buy this scale honey?”-goodwill for 2009 so I’m sadly not going to get it, but if you’re looking for a really cool scale, then go and get yourself a Withings Connected Body Scale
