Watching my Weight with the Beets Blu Bluetooth Smart Scales

As most of my regular followers and readers will know I have been working on my weight and confidence building. It all started about a year after Mia was born. Fast forward to today and I have had amazing opportunities to review other brands and weight loss plans as well as wearable tech brands too. When Beets Blu, who I have worked with twice before, came to me to review their Bluetooth Smart Scales I knew I couldn’t turn the opportunity down!
Beets Blu, founded in 2012 are specialists in mobile apps, fitness technology and electronics and they also have their Bluetooth Smart Scale which fits in nicely with their current product range. The Smart Scale itself is really stylish and as soon as I opened the box up I knew it was going to be a high quality product. We just so happen to have a black/white theme in our bathroom so the scales look lovely in there! The scales are really easy to set up and just require you to pop the supplied batteries in, check the measurement units are set as you want them, step on them so the display shows, hop off and wait for the display to go off again and then off you go! They also need to be flat on the floor to be accurate but I doubt this is an issue for most people.
You can use the scales as they are however to get the most out of them and the data they give, you need to download the free App that goes with them. This again is really easy to use and setup with you just inputting a few basic pieces of information about yourself and then as long as you have the App open when you step directly on the scales silver strips, all of your information will then be recorded wirelessly via Bluetooth.
So on to the recorded data…. The Smart Scale monitors not only your weight but your fat percentage, BMI, body water and muscle mass. From the main screen you can see all of your data from not only the day but also for the last 7 days and 30 days in clear, understandable graphs. The graphs are really easy to interpret and are also colour coordinated. You have the option to view the minimum pieces of data you want to or all of the data which is handy if you specifically want certain types of data to hand. You can see straight away, really clearly how you weight has changed over set periods of time so it’s easy to track. The App also reads out your latest recorded data as its being recorded which is handy too however you can mute this if you don’t want to hear it!
The Smart Scale stores unlimited data history and all of the information I need so I have found the scales so handy! I love the fact you can see and track your weight clearly and the fact it adds my data straight to the Apple Healthkit, which then links to MyFitnessPal and my FitBit so it just means I don’t have to worry about transferring data around; it’s all there for me already. What’s also great is that anyone in the household can use the same scales; they can even download the App onto their device and record their own data! Currently available for £49.95 with free delivery, the Beets Blu Smart Scales are well worth the money.
We have been using them now for over 4 years and they are still going strong. They remain accurate and we have only had to change the batteries once in that time! I love them!

Very interested to read this. Our scales broke a long time ago and I have never replaced them much to the annoyance of my family. However as we are about to start building work on our bathroom I think now is the time to look at a new option. #sharewithme

Ahh yeah I always like to have scales of some sort around! These are good as they are better than normal scales if you are into fitness or trying to lose weight 🙂
Mummy Fever
These really do look good – thanks so much for sharing on #sharewithme – will look into these x
mummydaddymia
Thank you! I love them and can see us using them for the foreseeable 🙂

I’ve been thinking something like this would be nice to have to use along side my Fitbit. Thanks for sharing. #Binkylinky
mummydaddymia
Yes its certainly been great for me. I have been wanting to try out the Fitbit scales that sync with your Fitbit but they are quite pricey and these do the same for a lot cheaper 🙂
