What happens when your Withings bathroom scales Start interacting with your fridge?
One of the thoughts that ran through my mind as I invested in my first pair of Withings weight body scales was whether these would end up being anything more than just a gimmick.
I mean seriously. Does anyone really need their bathroom scales to interact with their home computer or mobile phone for that matter?
Answer: Of course not!
So now that I’ve owned these Withings scales for a while do I think that they are still nothing but a gimmick?
Actually no. Quite the opposite in fact. I’d actually go as far as to say that I am starting too wonder why all weighing scales aren’t automatically connected to your home WiFi and reporting in your weight.
For that matter, why doesn’t your fridge liaise with your online grocery shopping list and order up the stuff you’ll need to save you the hassle?
Actually I believe that could be on its way next. Until then I’ll carry on allowing my bathroom scales to report into my PC, Mac at work and iPhone. And in turn do my best to shed those few extra pounds just in time got my fridge to stay automatically adding my favourite stodgy desert to my grocery via my WiFi too.
