Howdy Pete,
This looks as if it might be a really good product. I’m sure there are a lot of 
decent options these days. I think I purchased my Body+ almost five years ago 
and there were not as many Wi-Fi possibilities at that time. Withings has 
several products and they are not inexpensive. I have the thermometer and the 
blood pressure monitor. To be honest, I have not even got the blood pressure 
monitor working properly at this point. It’s a long story.

I do like Withings but if I had to start over now, I would do a fresh 
evaluation of the available options.
