   The last time I bought a scale, all I wanted to know was my weight in   
   KG.  All the new scales provide new features like this one, and in   
   exchange, require the usual: internet enabled, create a user profile,   
   log in before use, agree to a terms of service that is updated   
   frequently.  Then they sell your biodata.   
      
   I didn't buy one, but I'd expect that within a week of first use, many   
   companies that have a financial interest in knowing your medical   
   condition will be updated on things like your biomass, water intake,   
   etc. and you'll start getting interesting adverts for medical   
   "supplements," "try this one weird trick," and the usual garbage.   
      
   The same business model, in sum.
