WII Fit Plus - 5000 days

13 Nov 2022

I've achieved another milestone with my fitness electronics - 5000 days on my WII Fit Plus system with balance board.

I'm always amazed when I get some longevity with electronics, especially stuff that I use on a daily basis. In this case I'm surprised that the electromechanical balance board still works perfectly. Actually, the entire system including the 2 remotes are still in good condition.

It helps me monitor my weight

And lets me be young at heart . Wish I could actually feel that young.

The balance board could use some cleaning. I didn't realize it was that dirty until I looked at the picture...

We'll have to see how long it keeps working. If it croaks before me - I guess I'll do an autopsy.

Electronics systems with no moving parts had the promise of long lifespan, but rapid obsolescence seems to have made it a low design priority. This is electronics with moving parts - proving it is possible. I wish storage media would be built to last longer.
