The Apple I-scale. Good or gimmick?

Anyone have one of these. Would it be helpful, or just something to make one obsess too much about every last little thing?

If one needs a scale anyway, this one that works with an app might be helpful. NYC_SKP Sep 2012 #1

the reviews don't seem too positive. Maybe try searching for it on Amazon to see if there are more hlthe2b Sep 2012 #2

I'm in favor of anything that helps, and even trying something new even if it turns out not to help.

Can't hurt, right?

It automatically uploads my weight, body fat percentage, and BMI to their website, so I don't have to enter the info to track it. I love it.

But then I have always tracked my progress closely, so this just saves me the time of entering it myself, or remembering to enter it.
