Smart Scales: Are They Actually Accurate?

Two people used this for the same job and came away disagreeing, which turned out to be the useful part.

Price is the least interesting question right up until it is the only question. Something can be worth every penny and still be the wrong purchase, if the cheaper thing would have done.

Filed under Health & Fitness, which on this site means we care about the boring parts: whether it holds a connection, whether the app is still maintained a year from now, and whether anybody answers the phone when it breaks. The question is never whether a thing works in the shop. It is whether it still works in six months, on your network, alongside your other devices, without you having to think about it.

The full breakdown, including the parts that did not go well, is what the rest of this piece is for.

    Any idea whether the older model is still worth buying at a discount, or is the new one a real upgrade?

    Thank you for saying the price out loud. Half the reviews of this thing never mention what it costs.
