    Love it!

    • Written by from Göteborg

    At first it felt like an unessecarily expencive scale but it's extra features of uploading your data, weight and bodyfat, directly onto your fitbit account has made it so much easier to keep track of my weight. It is easy to set up and uses my wireless internet at home to upload the data to my account where I also keep my activities, food intake and sleep patterns (using the fitbit tracker to record activities and sleep). Everything concerning my health and wellbeing is located on the same place easily accessed on my computer, iPad and iPhone. I love it!

    Easy to Use

    • Written by from Frederick

    Setup was straight forward, and tracking my body fat percentage could not be easier.

    Can't get it to work

    • Written by from Santa Clara

    I have had my Aria for 10 days and still have not been able to get it set-up. I have been trying to get some support from fitbit but they do not seem to respond with any thing but questions. I really don't think they deserve one star but it won't let me give them none.

    Poor support by fitbit

    • Written by from Unterengstringen

    Spent several hundred USD to make it work in a professional WLAN-environment. Fitbit staff not helpful at all. Once installed scale works fine.

    Great product!

    • Written by from San Francisco

    I'm very happy with my Fitbit Aria. It was easy to set up and works well. My weight is automatically logged over wifi whenever I step on it. It also knows me from others who use the scale.

    It did take me 2 tries to set up, but after that it has worked flawlessly. During setup it forced me to use 3 initials for my name (even though I don't have a middle name). Fortunately I could change my name to two characters on fitbit's website and the scale automatically synced. They fitbit website is great! It lets you look at your stats in lots of different ways. Too bad the iPhone app isn't as good as the website :( I lost about 5lbs, but the graph scale is 100lbs making that 5lbs get lost in the details.

    Hours I'll Never Get Back

    • Written by from HALIFAX

    Let me preface this by saying that I am an electronics tech and am not new to setting up network and electronic devices.

    I buy it from the apple store, take it home and begin it's presumed quick setup.
    After 3 hours, two emails (because fitbit doesn't own a phone) and two breaks, I packed it up and return it to the apple store and purchased a Withings WS-50.
    The Wthings took 2 minutes to setup and that was including account setup, installing it on two devices and setting up two users.

    Aria is a Hunk Of Junk
    Still no reply from fitbit BTW...

    Great Idea - dangerously unreliable for athletes

    • Written by from Maleny

    Brilliant Idea, poorly executed with minute by minute variances and daily inaccuracies which make it too unreliable for serious athletes. Prior to a triathlon it was 2kg out from correct weight which lead to miscalculation of fluid and carbo loading.
    Regular download problems and poor support its a gimmick for the lycra set but for authentic training get an analog scale from the pharmacy.

    Won't connect with my iPhone or iPad

    • Written by from Greenwood Village

    The scale won't connect to my iPhone or iPad. The iOS app doesn't have a way to perform setup of the scale (only their monitoring devices). The web based setup connects the scale to my home WiFi, but the scale immediately says NO SYNC and returns to the beginning of the setup process.

    Love My Fitbit!

    • Written by from Gilbert

    This is the best purchase ever! I would definitely recommend this product to friends and family! Only if those who gave it a bad review were more tech savvy they would enjoy this product too. Please seek technical help if you are having trouble with your product and don't ruin the experience for every one else. This scale is accurate and works well syncing to the website! I also love using my Fitbit zip! Won't leave home with out it! Don't for get to download the app to log your calories! Good luck on your fitness goals and I hope you all enjoy this product too!

    Dissapointed fitbit owner

    • Written by from Ajax

    bought this in Canada - was delivered in 2 business days (crazy fast) - was all excited - mac installation failed with a useless error message - was able to do the setup with my wifi using my iPad - all messages from both the aria and the web page indicated success. The aria clearly stated it had connected to the wifi network.

    Now the problem - when I stand on the scale, it senses, then I get off, it starts thinking and after finishing thinking, it gives me a useless error "ERR"

    It fails at exactly the same time every time - using different surfaces and temperatures does nothing.

    I checked the help section of the website - what a joke - if you search for "ERR", you get nothing. Either nobody posts issues or I'm extremely unluck (or fitbit deletes the bad posts). I also find it remarkable that there would be zero documentation explaining what the error code "ERR" relates to.

    I have sent an email to support but I'm not expecting much - it would appear that I paid 130 US for a defective product. I've never had this happen to me with any other brand (including many discount technology brands)

    They should have called it the DieAria

    • Written by from NEW YORK

    Bought my first scale, setup went flawlessly, showed up on the fitbit dashboard. All good.
    Step on the scale "ERR" step on again "ERR". Return for a new one. Get home, flawless setup, step on scale "ERR", step on scale again "ERR".

    Return and buy withings scale and it just works. The setup is a little more annoying though.

    Fitbit Aria Scales highly inaccurate

    • Written by from Melbourne

    I am seeking to loose weight on a slow but sure program — I purchased a Fitbit Aria Scale mainly so the data would be tracked.

    However, I am concerned about the accuracy of the scales — occasionally they go haywire and show with a weight that 80+ kilos above, but my main concern is the variation from repeated measures.

    The details below are from multiple weighings over a 10 minute period in which there was zero reason for my weight to vary.

    March 30 at 1:09PM Measurement 98.5 kg 33.3% fat
    March 30 at 1:08PM Measurement 98.5 kg 33.2% fat
    March 30 at 1:07PM Measurement 98.1 kg 33.2% fat
    March 30 at 1:07PM Measurement 98.6 kg 33.2% fat
    March 30 at 1:05PM Measurement 98.9 kg 33.0% fat
    March 30 at 1:03PM Measurement 98.5 kg 32.8% fat
    March 30 at 12:54PM Measurement 98.5 kg 32.8% fat
    March 29 at 10:31AM Measurement 97.1 kg 32.7% fat
    March 29 at 10:30AM Measurement 97.1 kg 32.7% fat
    March 29 at 10:30AM Measurement 97.6 kg 32.8% fat

    The 3 measures yesterday over a 2-minute period were in the range 97.1–97.6 kg

    The 7 measure today over a 15-minute period are in the range 98.1–98.9 kg

    The 1+kg increase over a single day when there was no specific change in diet, exercise, etc indicates inaccuracy.

    The variation of 0.8 Kg in the recorded weights over a 15-minute period today also indicates inaccuracy.
