Gear Diary After All That Turkey, Get Back on Track with the New Wahoo Balance Smartphone Scale photo

I don’t know about you, but when I saw the headline on this news piece my first thought was, “What, this is an app that will need me to be stepping on my smartphone?  No way!”  But that’s not what it is at all, as you might guess.  No indeedy; the idea is that you get a Bluetooth enabled scale from these folks, and it talks to your smartphone, and that way you can keep better track of your weight.  Check it out:

Wahoo Fitness, the leader in iPhone powered fitness, running and cycling, reveals the Balance Smartphone Scale. Using Bluetooth Smart technology, the Wahoo Balance tracks your weight and BMI over time, sending weigh-ins instantly to your iPhone or iPad App. Pre-order today for $99 on www.WahooFitness.com, shipments will go out first week in December and customers will receive their new Wahoo Balance iPhone body scale in time for the holidays.

Simply step on the scale and your weight and BMI are sent wirelessly via Bluetooth Smart technology direct to the new Wahoo Wellness App (coming soon to the Apple App Store) or to any compatible health & fitness App. Set different profiles and weight goals for up to 16 different users, syncing weight info to one or multiple devices. The Wahoo Balance’s internal memory holds up to 130 weight readings, allowing you to weigh-in at any time with or without your iPhone and sync when it’s convenient for you.
