Can&#x27;t wait to see this being advertised near anything even remotely fitness related being sold on Amazon, like they spam Kindle and audible ads beside every book!<p>And who doesn&#x27;t want to upload anonymous full body scans to Amazon servers, which they definitely won&#x27;t use to improve this service for everyone by aggregating it?

How can a visual scan have good accuracy if they&#x27;re measuring body fat? The band is only a microphone that analyzes your voice? A smart weight scale may not be novel, but it works and works well.<p>This product makes just as much sense as the Alexa glasses... which I don&#x27;t understand either. Why have a microphone &amp; speaker embedded in eye glasses where everyone can hear the response, when you can do the same thing for ear buds. The bigger surprise was that the glasses didn&#x27;t show you anything visual.<p>Amazon just needs to have another try at a smartphone again instead of strange experiments like this and the glasses.
