Weight control is an integral part of life for those who are looking for weight and health. However, this is often associated with many inconveniences – from the need to keep diaries of weight changes to tedious visits to nutritionists.
A way out of this situation was proposed by Polaris. The new “smart” scales PWS 1830 DGFI gained popularity right after the market launch. In this article, we’ll show you how to use this invention to make weight control not only beneficial, but also fun.
You should start with the design. Even if you are a demanding user for whom looks are just as important as features, the PWS 1830 DGFI will not disappoint you: the sleek design is made of high-quality 6mm glass, and information is displayed on a large display with bright blue backlighting.
However, the main feature of these scales is, of course, a wide range of functions – from determining body weight to measuring the proportion of adipose tissue and analyzing the dynamics of weight change. The device starts up automatically at a load of 5 kg, and it can withstand a maximum of 180 kg.
The latest ITO technology is used to accurately diagnose body mass composition. The calculation of the percentage of fat is based on the BIA method (bioimpedance analysis), in other words, on the electronic analysis. When weighing, the sensors on the scales transmit a weak electrical impulse, and the rate of transmission determines the proportion of body fat.
The main reason the scales are called “smart” is because they can be synchronized with the company’s products. Apple… If you are the lucky owner of an iPhone 4S / iPhone 5 / IPhone 5s / iPhone 5c / iPad with a Retina display or an iPod, you can safely go to the App Store and install the free Polaris BodyFit application, which will help you synchronize the scales with any of the listed devices. In the future, you don’t need to connect to the Internet to enter data, just use the built-in Bluetooth 4.0.
After installing the application, you will be prompted to register an account. Separately, it is worth noting that Polaris BodyFit supports an unlimited number of users – not only yourself, but also your family members can use the PWS 1830 DGFI to control your weight and achieve the desired result. To do this, it is necessary to register each user separately, and during subsequent weighings add data to one or another account.
When registering an account, you will be asked to enter the following information: height, age, gender and weight. This will allow the application to measure the BMI (Body Mass Index) coefficient based on the analysis of the entered data.
After completing the registration, you will need to connect the device using the already mentioned Bluetooth 4.0.
It is recommended to bind the user to complete the synchronization. This is necessary so that when weighing the data is automatically added to a particular account.
In addition, manual data entry is provided.
All the information you save will remain in the app even if you don’t use it every time you weigh. For those who want to see the result already achieved, there is a retroactive data entry. In addition, in the future it will be possible to study the weighing history.
The program allows you to build graphs of weight and fat mass. An additional incentive will be the ability to enter the desired weight with the exact date to achieve the result. It will be displayed as a dashed line on the graph with the current weight.
Now you can forget about making appointments with nutritionists, but you need to run to buy scales)
The average cost of the scales at the time of testing is 3990 rubles.
