Am sure no expert concerns what packaging, but only a carton around the product carton without padding. Could what break. Anyway, my balance was healing. The manual is almost understandable but perhaps not for everyone. A smartphone today everyone, because without does not seem to come from the scale. Blue Tooth is good wifi better. Only when the app is loaded, you can learn more about the product. In short, a smartphone and the app you need. Even man should not stand with socks on the scale when you want to know more than just his weight.
