French technology company Withings has announced the availability of its WiFi Body Scale in the UK.
Withings has combined sleek design and technology, to transform a regular bathroom scale into an accurate health monitoring system.
The world’s first WiFi connected personal weight scale that automatically records the user’s body weight, lean and fat mass, and calculated body mass index (BMI) to his/her secure web-page.
In addition, a free Withings iPhone application, WiScale enables people to follow their body weight, lean and fat mass on their smart phone.
With its extra-flat black and steel design, the scale is an ideal bathroom accessory.
Jam-packed with technology, while still remaining very simple to use, the scale is available now on the Withings website priced at 129 euros or £119.
“We strive to bring innovation, design and technology to everyday objects through a wireless connection to the Internet and we feel the WiFi Body Scale truly delivers on all fronts,†said Cedric Hutchings, Withings General Manager.
By using bioelectric impedance analysis (BIA), the scale calculates the user’s body fat composition, and displays it in actual weight instead of a percentage of fat in the body; this allows for more accurate tracking, because it avoids the daily weight fluctuations, due to things like water gain or loss.
The scale is the perfect tool and a useful motivator, for anyone concerned about their health and interested in monitoring the benefits and progress of their diet and exercise plan.
It’s also useful for tracking the entire family’s health progress, with its multi-user function.
The scale automatically recognizes up to 8 users the moment they step on the scale and adds the stats to their individual online tracking graphs.
With the convenience this scale provides, users don’t have to lift a finger to get their daily stats – just step on the scale then check your progress report instantly on the web, or on your free WiScale iPhone application.
The Scale measures: 0.90 inches/23 mm | 12X12 glass slab/ 32×32 cm.
Display: 62 X 40 mm with high white contrast lighting.
