Body Weight Scale Reccs

Anyone have any good reccs for a body weight scale (not food scale)? I take regular measurements and rely on those but my current scale will give me a different reading every time I step on it - on the same day & time. I've been a big fan of Tanita scales - I used to have one and it always gave me consistent results. Now I'm just not sure what model to get. I've read the Tanita Ironman series is fantastic, but does anyone see any utility (or accuracy) of all those measurements - i.e. It provides body fat, muscle mass, body water, visceral fat.

Anyone have input or different reccs/guidance? Thanks!!

    I'm a fan of regular old analog scales. IMO, fractions of pounds are one more useless thing not worth nit-picking over.

    I agree with this. If mine is accurate within a pound or two I'm fine.

    Readings other than weight are very innacurate. I would just get a basic one that just measures weight.
