Next-gen Withings Wireless Scale WS-30

Weight loss goes hi-tech with smart bathroom scales that come with a free app.

If you’re lacking motivation when it comes to losing weight Withings has the solution: Wireless Scale WS-30, the bathroom scales that come with their own Android or iPhone/iPad app so you can take control of your weight anytime, anywhere.

The idea is terrifying yet ingenious. The scales are capable of tracking weight and Body Mass Index (BMI) for your entire family. Sporting built-in WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, they can share information with your computer, tablet or smartphone and will be easily the most advanced thing in your bathroom.

The Withings Health Companion app automatically logs your details and the data can be kept private or shared with your friends for a good laugh – although Withings more seriously suggests sharing with your doctor or sports coach. The app includes features like goal setting, coaching services and weight graphs, so the evidence will be impossible to ignore if you have a few too many biscuits.

These super-scales should be available at the end of September, priced around £100. Click here for more details and you can see the scales in action below:
