HTC and Under Armour were quick in 2015 to announce a partnership that would bring together technology and athletics. The first product after joining forces would be the Grip, an activity tracker that has been delayed repeatedly and is currently expected to be released sometime in 2016. So things have been off to a rocky start for HTC and Under Armour, but the two companies seemingly aren’t ready to give up. A filing discovered within the Bluetooth SIG’s database indicates that a new product is on the way. And this one isn’t a wearable.
The filing reveals that HTC and Under Armour are working on something identified as the UA Scale, likely a name that will not be attached to the possible final product. Its description reads that this is “a Bluetooth scale to measure weight and body fat.” So we’re looking at something that will send data to devices synced with the Under Armour Record platform. Fitbit and Withings are already doing this with their respective connected scales.
Chances are we’ll see the UA Scale at CES 2016.
