There is a company called MC10 who have come up with hydration patches that monitor your hydrations levels in real time, sending smartphone alerts that tell you when and how much to drink. It would be fantastic is a fitbit had this feature! I'll pay double for it, as hydration is the biggest problem for me, affects everything, mind, body functions etc., as I exercise in perpetually hot climate.

I wish my scale could measure my hydration.  There are many other scales that have this feature.

Hydration is one of the main sources for a healthy life, how is this not within the features of Aria....... I have a basic scale which measures everything that Aria can offer, plus hydration, bone mass and muscle percentage. I was contemplating purchasing an Aria scale, but the lack of features have now put me off. Please please update it asap !

Hi, is there any chance to implement this in Aria 2? Much, much cheaper scales has that kind of features.

I replaced a set of scales with the aria2. The scales I replaced would measure my percentage of water in my body as well as body fat. That would be a good addition if possible. Thanks

I would buy a new fitbit watch tomorrow, if it measured hydration.  A measurement important to everything from exercise to heart health.

Fitbit encourages hydration and even has at tile for that, and yet the most expensive scale on the market ( Aria 2 ) doesn't have a way to see water or hydration levels. 30 dollar scales have that capability. 🤦 Women get periods that cause water levels to change. Loss of water and or muscle can lead to higher body fat percentages. How are we supposed to know which is happening??  Fitbit needs to include this in an update. I don't know if it's calculated in BMI, weight, or fat. Water is too important not to have included in the equation of fitness. 

As it stands, when we lose water, our fat percentages go way up, and people are freaking out. We need that water weight calculation in there to see how hydrated we are or how much we need to burn off. Especially, during periods.
