It needs a little more work in getting more detail into it. The idea's great and the design's great. Keep working on this, I'd love to see them in stores someday soon.

If the product was allied with a known weight loss program and had targets established (loss or gain) the analog display would remove some anxiety over absolute numbers or rate. with a few changes this could be a winner.

Some points to be discussed about it: 1- To show someone's ideal weight, the scale has to know the person's height. I see no place to input this info. It seems like the designer wanted to loosen the beauty strict measurements, but without a height input, this scale would assume just one ideal weight, and actually be MORE enslaving. 2- I like the wooden thing, but the cardboard one is just no-go, in my opinion. 3- I am sick of apple inspiration/immitation. Enough of that already! I do like the idea. Some points to be discussed about it:

People like to see they gain or lose (more the latter) weight, even small amounts. The design, though, is beautiful.
