Sometimes less is more and these scales are a fantastic example of this. Lovely simple streamlined and minimalist in appearance which is just what my brain needs first thing in the morning when I step on the scales. They come with 2 batteries which you need to install. Having batteries makes a change and so the scales are ready to go out of the box. They are beautifully simple – step on them and they turn on, weigh you (or whatever you have put on them) and display the weight clearly thanks to a backlit display. Step off and a few seconds later they turn themselves off. On the back is a push button switch for you to choose between metric and imperial and they can take up to 180 kg (in 2 g increments) which I seriously hope I never reach. I checked the scales against my existing bathroom scales and they were both spot on. The blue glass surface looks great and with a tempered glass cover they look like they are built to last. They are a simple case of a pure classic design but behind the scenes they are clever as they link directly to an App which can provide accurate weight, BMI, fat, water, muscle, bone mass, BMR, and AMR measurements and the scales have a memory for 12 different users all with their own data. To top it all off the App can monitor and display historical data and assist with goals. The scales have inbuilt Bluetooth for communication and data transfer with the App. These really are 21st Century scales and both the scales and App work together amazingly well. Considering the design of the scales and the addition some serious computing and data power behind the scenes, I have no hesitation in giving them a five-star review. At this point in time I have only owned the scales for a short time. If they subsequently fail me or deteriorate in a short period I shall return and amend this review accordingly but for now I am very happy with them indeed.
