Bathroom scale recommendations?

Does anyone have a scale that they love?

Mine is a smart scale that you can program weight, height, age into and it will calculate BF & BMI. I love that part, but it also eats batteries (like drains the flat round batteries in a week) so I have to take them out after each weigh in. Also, I just weighed 3 times in a row within 1 minute and it fluctuated a whole pound each answer.

Recommendations for a new one?

    I just have a plain old digital one that I bought at Target. It measures ... weight. Had it for a couple years, never replaced the battery (batteries).

    You could look at a site like consumer reports, I know they're rated scales. Though I think just the regular kind.

    I use a Weight Watchers scale. It measures several things, I think body fat is one of them, but honestly I only ever use it for my weight.

    I got one from Amazon that just measures weight, but what I like about it is that it uses AAA batteries instead of those flat ones.

    It was this one, but it looks like it's not in stock right now :(

    I am looking for one too and searched the forums to find this post.

    I just picked one on Amazon. It has some bad reviews from people saying it gives them different readings "every time." I don't know if they're stepping off and back on and getting inconsistencies or they just don't understand that weight fluctuates from hour to hour or day to day. :|
