Recommendations for bathroom scale

Need a simple one that's accurate. One my husband has does not work that well. You can step on it 3 different times and get different readings.

I have a Beurer Digital Scale that I bought five or six years ago.  It is very accurate and was reasonably priced.  Amazon sells them.

I've used a WW Conair Thinner for years. It gives me consistent readings. Simple model,  easy to read digital, no memory...about $20.

EatSmart Precision Plus Digital Bathroom Scale Ultra Wide Platform.  It’s under $30, on Amazon.  We’ve had ours for 6 yrs. and I believe we’ve yet to replace a battery.  It’s very sturdy, low to the floor, and I feel secure when stepping onto it.

      I was having trouble reading my numbers on my old scale. So bought one from HSN that tells me - loud and clear - my weight.  Runs on a battery, but no memory!  Low to the ground and feels sturdy.  Love it!!

I'm not sure.  I bought it at Costco years ago for about $20.  It agrees with the doctors's scales.

 

Does anyone have a body composition scale?  I'd like one but I've read that reliability is an issue.

Both me and my BF each got new Weight Watchers scales at Costco. Mine was $19.99, his was $14.99. Both bought semi recently. They were both on sale, only my BF's was a better sale. We love them.

We don't have a body weight scale in our home so I can't help you. I know pretty close to what I weigh by the way I feel and how my clothes fit me. Along with that, my ice skating changes dramatically if my weight changes more than 4-5 lbs.

 

Also, I am more I interested in my body composition than my body weight. Along with that I keep my Cardio Fitness close to its best as much as possible. All the above rule out my need to look at arbitrary numbers on a body weight scale. I bet on a scale at the doctors I visit any my weight is always within a pound or 2 of my preferred skating weight.

 

My wife feels the same about not needing a body weight scale in our home.
