Withings Thermo Review: the infra red thermometer

[@spacecube40]

Fun review. Love the humor. My experience with withings hasnt been good. It always measures wrong and recently it told me my temperature was 41,8C and then it just died and didnt want to turn on again. Cant reset or anything. It just bricked itself.

The thermometer suddenly started working again today. In its absence, I've realized there is a few things I very much like about it. Mainly the sync through wifi. Sure the measuring is completely all over the place and never right. But since it logs it through wifi, you can just go nuts with the measuring and measure your ear, mouth, armpit, forhead, neck, etc. That way youre still getting some usable data. I thought since its 2023 most fever thermometers would have a sync feature. Withings seems to be the only one doing the wifi. Omron has a mouth/armpit/rectal thermometer that syncs to your phone through "sound" whatever that means. So while thermo is far from perfect, its pretty much the only option if you want wifi. Scan, sync, forget.

One of the best videos I have ever seen reviewing a health product/smart device. Thank you, enjoyed watching.

Top actress in this video! I might start competing with you in the gadget reviewing space if you get sent cool stuff like this to review.

Don't you dare - there's only room for one slightly-overweight, middle-aged, middle-class gadget reviewer in this world.

I have several Withings products, happy with all of them. But this thermometer is quirky, you will spend more time reconnecting and setting it up every time you go to use. Very unhappy with this product. Definitely not worth the money.

Nice video. I have this one, but it shows different theomereture all the time. How good is yours?

[@arlo.guthrie]

Ha. I think there is a scientific law that says every time you retake the temperature of anything, it will be different. Especially if you use different ears. Best just take it once!

How many decimal places does the reading go to? Not that I'm OCD but my natural contraception app needs 2 decimals.

[@arlo.guthrie]

Not sure I'd use OCD as the adjective in this case. Think 'brave' would be more appropriate! Either way, the Withings is only one decimal point.
