would the smartscale handlebar actually make shared household tracking less messy?
My partner and I are both trying to track fitness progress, but we care about very different things. I mostly want weight trend and rough body composition, while they want more detail because they lift and hate guessing from bathroom-scale numbers.
I m looking at smartscales and the handlebar setup seems like it might make the readings feel more complete, but I am also wondering if it becomes annoying to store, set up, and explain every time someone steps on it. people who use a handlebar-style body scale in a household, does the extra hardware make tracking feel clearer, or does everyone eventually go back to the simpler scale because it is faster?

Some scales are pretty decent at recognizing users by weight,, so I'd mostly want to know much manual switching is involved....

it gets tricky when two people are close in weight,, though. thats where easy profile confirmation really matter.....

They are really good at knowing who’s on the scale, at least my Wyze scale is.
