While I appreciate the frustration, this is a very minor inconvenience. It many not be ideal to manually enter you weight, but is it really worth threatening to move away from Fitbit. I was a long-time Fitbit user and moved to Withings a little over a year ago, I bought the Steel HR Sport 3. I wanted more of a watch versus having to wear both a watch and activity tracker. While the Sport HR is fine, the difference is step counting is significant compared to Fitbit and my apple phone. The Sport HR was consistently 20% less steps on average compared to my Fitbit and apple phone. Additionally, the screen was small and almost impossible to read, and most activities had to be started from the watch. Considering the difficulty in reading the screen it was not ideal. Not to mention, the stats were somewhat lacking. I'm back to Fitbit and very happy. I have a Versa2 and love the additional insights and stats Fitbit provides versus Withings. I'll live with a minor integration problem to have a better overall device and user experience.
People can be so ridiculously over the top sometimes. For starters, this is a third-party integration issue, which means it may be Withings that's having the troubles (they did go back and forth being a Nokia company, might have had some effect, who knows). Secondly, there are apps like MyFitnessPal and IFTTT which can bridge the gap, or registering with Weemple seems to be a fix as well. Honestly it's not a big deal. Granted, I keep coming on here because I want to know when the two companies get talking again, but in the meantime, life goes on. And by the way, I'm going to guess a Fitbit Aria scale is a cheaper solution than is a new tracker from some other company.
