Scales like the original Aria

[Clint326]

I had an original Aria scale. It was great. But it seems to be dying. I bought an Aria Air and was disappointed with it because it connects with Bluetooth and it will only show one weigh-in per day on the Fitbit app on my iPhone. If I do a second weigh-in on the same day, it replaces the earlier weigh-in. Plus it doesn't show body fat %. Now it looks like Fitbit/Google only has the Aria Air. Pretty disappointing. What am I missing? Or is everyone just accepting this?

You're not missing anything, Fitbit as a brand and product lineup seems to be dying a slow death under Google's poor leadership.

You could look at alternative scales that you can setup to sync to the Fitbit app, but they all require a separate app and don't sync directly to Fitbit over WiFi like the original Aria and Aria 2 scales did:

Mang third party scale works with fitbit app. eg. https://www.myhealthyapple.com/5-best-smart-scales-that-work-with-the-fitbit-app/

Good post. My Aria is chewing through batteries nowadays and am in the same boat. Weighing in once on Aria scales is no good in a day because the first weigh in is so inaccurate, you normally need three and average the two closest to each other and delete the outlier. My first weigh in is typically two kegs more than the subsequent weigh ins which are normally the same. My body fat percentage decreased by 9% in a week according the the old girl too. Time for something new 😀
