I’m not sure why it died, but I went to step on it one morning and got the black screen of death. I tried changing the batteries and following all the hacks on YouTube and the Fitbit forums. No luck. This is my third Aria scale, so I wasn’t super stoked about buying yet another one.
One thing I liked about the Aria was that it synced my weight with the Fitbit app so I could see everything in one place. I was *just* about to suck it up and buy a new one when I started searching to see if there were any other scales out there that would be compatible. One brand I saw mentioned was the Withings Body Smart scale ($99) or the Withings Body Composition scale ($199).
I was thinking about getting the Body Smart scale when I saw a recommendation pop up for this beautiful Renpho scale that said it measured body fat/composition as well–and even better, it was under $30! I ended up buying it and I’m so happy I did. It measures everything I want to capture AND it syncs up with the Fitbit app. I did a review video of it on my Amazon storefront and you can see the app in action and all the data it captures (I did the review while wearing socks, because no free feet pics 😛 – so it didn’t pick up my body comp data in the video).
