Withings WS-30 WiFi Scales
Posted in: Today's Chili
You know something? Back when I was a kid, I never would have figured out the day would come when computers could surf on this thing called the “Internet”, and that we would be toting around wireless devices everywhere we go. Well, I guess things can change a whole lot in just a couple of decades, and it is going to be an exciting ride to be on this train that is gonna ride for a good half decade more, assuming all goes well with my health before I call it quits in the game of life. Still, it amazes me that something as basic as a bathroom scale would be on the receiving end of WiFi connectivity, no? The £99.99 Withings WS-30 WiFi Scales can be said to be a “sequel” of sorts from the original, where it has obviously gone to the fat house and lost some weight, while being faster and looking all the more fabulous – just like you should, when you have shed off all those accumulated pounds over your holiday feasting.
The Withings WS-30 WiFi Scales comes in a tempered-glass and aluminum body that will automatically record your weight, fat mass and BMI (body mass index) each time you step on it. Your efforts (or lack of it, depending on which side of the disciplinary fence you’re on) will be stored on a secure website, social network or smartphone app, allowing you to access such data at any point in time – as long as there is a decent Internet connection around, of course. Do expect this puppy to be able to keep track and store data for as many as eight users simultaneously, where it will rely on previously recorded data to identify each user. I would assume you would not mind sharing your results over a social network if they have been encouraging, but otherwise, it would be best to keep on working at your fitness regime.

[CES 2013] It is no fun if you are the king of the hill with no competition in sight, as this means there is no need to innovate further to evolve beyond the reach of the competition, simply because there are none to worry about in the first place. Not so with the Withings Smart Activity Tracker though, as it definitely has the Fitbit Ultra in its crosshair, where this unique device comes with an OLED touchscreen display that is capable of uploading your health information to the Withings Health Mate app via Bluetooth Smart connectivity, after taking into account your pulse, calorie consumption and sleep quality when you place your finger at the back of the device. In fact, Withings claim that their diminutive Smart Activity Tracker is capable of lasting the entire fortnight without requiring a recharge, now how about that? You might want to pen it down on your calendar though as a fortnightly reminder.
[CES 2013] The Withings Smart Body Analyzer is not very different from what we have seen in the past, but what makes this edition at CES 2013 different would be the resting heart rate monitor and C02 analyzer that has been integrated into the device, which means that Withings is encouraging you to use this Smart Body Analyzer in other places apart from your bathroom. For example, how about placing this in your bedroom? This would help it get the relevant measurements to determine whether you are getting the right or optimal amount of oxygen required whenever you catch your beauty sleep.
