Very good and informative. You answered the problem that I was having with the BMI. Like you said, it is displayed on the screen, definitely false advertising. Thanks for your video.
Thanks for this review. I wondered why this scale was priced between $39-49. I’m looking for a scale that measures my body fat on this 2nd weight loss journey I’m doing (10 yrs later) since I’m Ketoing.
2:35 yikes, I'd hate to imagine buying that scale, eating a small biscuit, and then finding out I've put on 10lbs (and for anyone reading the comments before watching the review, I'm not talking about the Fitbit Aria Air).
The only reason I'd want Alexa or the Google Assistant on my smart scales is so I can programme a routine that causes my speaker to play the clip of King Robert Baratheon saying "you've got fat!" whenever I reach a certain weight.
Bad problem with this scale is that the "only smart feature on this scale" is that you must FORCE CLOSE the app on your phone every single time before you step on the scale. I found after you do this you can long press on the app and select "log weight" directly. I have the app on my phone, I have a fitbit Versa 4 and the scale is connected like it says. It just doesn't sync without a FORCE CLOSE of the app.
Wish I’d watched this before I got mine. Was wondering why it was so price competitive and then didn’t really do anything .... simple scale, syncs well, BUT, i agree with the false advertising part. :(
I have a fitbit ionic and the app on my phone. I use them to track my calories, exercise, and weights. I have a normal scale at home and I dont think I'll buy this one even using all those features because it cant calculate BMI on its own or accurately. I know some scales send a pulse thru your feet and track how long it returns to determine muscle vs fat and this doesn't see to do that.
The Withings scale can sync with the FitBit app through the Health Mate app. It's a little more clunky than a scale that syncs directly with the FitBit app, but the Withings scale is LIGHT YEARS ahead of the Aria, imho.
Thanks for posting! I’m a dummy and thought I purchased the regular Aria scale lol. I was wondering why I couldn’t get to any setup features - or really do anything with the features it shows along the top of the display screen. 😂
had mine for a month, then it died. Replacing the batteries did nothing - the unit remained dead (the screen wouldn't turn on & the touchpad button on the back didn't do anything).
Excellent review! You saved me $69.95 CAD! I was about to buy it, but this review changed my mind. Love my FitBit 4 Charge, but no way will I buy it now. Thanks bud! :)
Does it support multiple people? Like does it automatically log the weight of person 1 if person 1 stepped on it and not on person 2? I have been using Xiaomi Mi 2 and it has this feature. Does this also support that?
First check on the fitbit app for an update if it needs one. If not hard restart it and reset setting by using the button on the bottom. If neither works fitbit has a 1 year warranty on most products so that may be the route to go. Or if it's soon enough and the first two things didn't fix your issue I'd exchange or return it if you have to.
I don't see the point of the aria tbh. I have my own weighing scale and all I need to do is enter my weight into the fitbit app, which takes almost no effort 😅
@@TheMrsansari i got one too luckily i had the option to cancel order. But i got this cheap RENPHO brand that does everything you need to know best 20$ i spent. Does everything you can possibly know about your weight. Can have multiple people on the app just create their profile (height, age,sex) no email. And then when they step on the scale it automatically knows who’s on the scale. I’m 360Lbs and this cheap scale can measure me
For sure, especially if you have a Fitbit already. If this is the your only Fitbit device there’s slightly cheaper options that have their own apps to do the same thing (although from trusted brand will not make it cheaper)
Introducing the new Alexa fat shaming feature haha! xD "Wow you've gained 30 pounds, I have renewed your gym membership for you and have taken the liberty of putting you on a blacklist on all the takeaways in your area. Sorry...gotta be cruel to be kind"
who cares if it calculates BMI on the scale screen? it does it in the app. its a pretty simple calculation. its just your weight devided by your height in m2. basic math.
Got one today only. I kinda like it as its a simple scale and i already use fitbit versa.
My Withings scale told me Happy Bday, then that I was overweight lol. Guess I should go eat some cake.
Lmao that's awesome 😂

Did u find a good one any recommendations?
@@SuperAlshebani please don't expect a scale to measure your body fat... It's really inaccurate
Only 50 subscribers!? Ur better the most tech UA-camrs! I am now a subscriber.
I always check UA-cam user reviews for products before I hit submit. Glad I did it this time too. Getting ready to remove it from the cart. Thanks!

I've watched you say "It's a scam!" 15 times in a row and still can't stop laughing!😂😂😂

I was going to buy this scale because of the BMI calculation, but you opened my eyes, thanks pal!
Wish I saw your video before I bought it 😭
Same here. I didn’t realize it doesn’t “really” give the BMI. Returning this. Thanks for the review.
BMI is a terrible metric. You should not be using it anyways.
@@ze3bar no It’s not. It tells you if you are overweight or not
@@maddycordaro8538 no, it doesn’t. it doesn’t take into account how lean you are or how tall you are.

Great editing intro and transitions. Throwing you a sub.
Thanks very much!

What are the other scales that work with the Versa 2? Isn't Fitbit the only one that will?
Yeah only the Fitbit Aria and Fitbit Aria Air do it, in the Fitbit app you can manually put in your weight so you can do it yourself if that helps.
The Withings scale can sync with the FitBit app through the Health Mate app. It's a little more clunky than a scale that syncs directly with the FitBit app, but the Withings scale is LIGHT YEARS ahead of the Aria, imho.

Beacsue there no features. Other than tracking weight or fat percentage. That's it
fitbit dont even sell the aria 2 anymore on their site. the only scale avail is the aria air.
Sorry can you tell me what is the icon cm on the screen and how do i use it
had mine for a month, then it died. Replacing the batteries did nothing - the unit remained dead (the screen wouldn't turn on & the touchpad button on the back didn't do anything).
hey there which smart scale would you recommend?

My aria air is way off. I tried two scales they both are 331 but aria says 285 how do I fix this?
First check on the fitbit app for an update if it needs one. If not hard restart it and reset setting by using the button on the bottom. If neither works fitbit has a 1 year warranty on most products so that may be the route to go.

Does it estimate stuff such as body weight percentage? And body fat?
Not without you putting in the numbers yourself in the app
It doesn't
I don't see the point of the aria tbh. I have my own weighing scale and all I need to do is enter my weight into the fitbit app, which takes almost no effort 😅
Great video man definitely gonna pick one of these up.
Great production quality. Keep it up 👍
I wonder if someone could hack it to do other features lol
Nice vid man, hope u continue making vids.
Great video, can’t wait to see what awesome products you’ll review next. I’m very impressed with the improvements in the videos over time!
Nice video! Just ordered one on Amazon prime day for 30 bucks!
Happy prime day
Same
I thought it gave bmi
Water percentage
Muscle mass
Bone density
Fat percentage
Got yesterday
Going to get refund now

At £35 it's still a good price for an accurate scale that logs your weight

Just bought this what a waist of money. Can’t connect two people to the app so we retried it and now nobody can connect to it

Love it lmao
I hate it when corporations block features that are clearly avaliable from the hardware.
Yeah it's dumb to gate that with software just greedy
Thank you for this review. Very useful.
Beautiful fret
Very good Review thx
Video and channel seem to be heavily inspired by Mr. Mobile
Too expensive for what it does
scale is pointless. only measures weight, other scales do much more for the same price
just a friendly advice - get a better mic :)
Overpriced 'smart scale. I have one. It doesn't really do much
Awesome video
Thanks for the review. 🙋♀️ I won't be buying one. I think I'll get the weight watchers one lol
who cares if it calculates BMI on the scale screen? it does it in the app. its a pretty simple calculation. its just your weight devided by your height in m2. basic math.
My Aria Air doesn't even do it's only smart feature. This thing is TRASH.
