If you can afford it, the $129.95 Aria Wi-Fi scale adds real-time weight tracking to Fitbit's fitness arsenal.

The Fitbit Aria Wi-Fi Smart Scale may live in your bathroom, but its excellent syncing capabilities put your health stats online, where you can reap greater rewards from data it collects over the long-term.

The Fitbit Aria smart scale has an intuitive app, body analysis capabilities and works well with other Fitbit devices.

When used in concert with the company’s little activity measurement widget, the Aria gives you a truly complete picture (literally, in two-tone graphs) of your body’s mass fluctuations over time, and the impact your activity level has on these changes.

Used properly (with a healthy diet, sensible exercise plan and a realistic approach to weight loss), we think the scale is a great bathroom that will prove a valuable aid to many people who are trying to better manage their weight.

$130 might seem like a lot for a scale, especially when most basic digital scales cost $30, but the online data and self-tracking capabilities tell you a lot more than what you weigh this morning. And that means more motivation, even for those like me, who won't ever like stepping on a scale.

We think the FitBit Aria scales are a cool digital addition to any bathroom. They look decent, they work well, don’t cost a fortune and are fuss-free to set up.

It’s useful, and I’m slightly more inclined to use it than any other scale, but ensuring that the scale is in range of your Wi-Fi network could prove tricky for some.

I find myself compelled to weigh myself every day, and I’m more aware of what I am eating. All in all, Fitbit has really knocked this product out of the park – so much so that now that Fitbit Aria exists, the modern scale will never be the same.

It’s not too fancy, it’s easy to use, and it looks good. What else do you want?

Good-looking and easy to use, the Fitbit Aria Wi-Fi Smart Scale is a painless way to keep track of your body weight and fat percentage - especially useful if you're building muscle rather than just out to lose weight.

At $130, the Fitbit Aria is pretty expensive scale. For those who are obsessed about reaching their goal weight, however, the scale is a neat and informative tool that pushes you to continue confronting your actual weight and attempt to reach your goals.

Seeing a graph heading in the right direction is genuinely pleasing, and slip ups are harder to self-justify when presented visually. ... it's expensive for a set of bathroom scales, so I can only recommend the Fitbit Aria to fitness fans, and they lose points for that irritating set up glitch.

At $130 it probably costs too much for what it is, but that is the price of early adoption. If you aren't a Fitbit user, it makes NO SENSE at all for you. End of day, its just a scale with wifi but I enjoy it.

If you're looking to lose weight and improve your general fitness, Fitbit Aria is highly recommended. Just make sure you've a suitable concrete floor to use it on before buying.

Combing it with the data from the Fitbit pedometer, its a great thing to have at home... I am a fan. Thumbs up on this one.
