WiFi-enabled Bathroom Scale to Scare the Overweight [Withings Connected Scale Stores Your Weight Online, Available in the US, Beware]

Withings WiFi Bathroom Scale

Those who’re looking for a way to track their weight have a new piece of technology to do with, now that the humble bathroom scale has been taken to a whole new level. Created by the creative folks from Withings, what you’re looking at is a stylish Wi-Fi enabled bathroom scale that makes sure it remembers things that you’d rather forget. Meaning that it automatically registers weight, fat and BMI calculation, and stores everything online.

After being launched and tested in other parts of the world, the sleek device comes with a ridiculously stylish design. However other than the tempered glass surface, brushed metal accents and the inverted LCD display, the Withings bathroom scale manages to impress with its futuristic features.

After conducting your body’s analysis (accurate to 100 grams), the scale not only tells the uncomfortable truth but also makes sure it stores everything on the company’s website via Wi-Fi. That means that you’ll have to either log in to their site or through a special iPhone App to view a chart that accurately shows when you had pizza or chips and fries with Coke.

The biggest drawback (you thought such a product would be flawless, eh?) of the new Withings Wi-Fi enabled bathroom scale is that it’s available in the US already for something close to $160.

We have a question though! What if there’s no hotspot around when you check on your body weight, will it remember it and upgrade the chart whenever the Internet is back? If so, we’re really busted in here!
