Need new scale advice

I'm wanting to get a new scale to weigh myself on. I want a digital scale because I want to use the app called Happy Scale. The problem is I still weigh 326 pounds and my experience is that digital scales have a tendency to jump around for me. What I mean is that when you get on them they can give a different weight each time you step on it. I was wondering if any one has found a good one that's pretty stable and accurate with a weight capacity big enough for me? Anyone try the Aria Fitbit scale? Thanks in advance for any advice you can share with me.

I really like my Aria scale. There are pros & cons, it's not perfect. I don't regret getting it; like you I was in need of a scale upgrade.
Pros:
- weight seems very accurate; I used to think big weight changes were dietary but now I can see that was scale inaccuracy too. With this scale my fluctuations are within 12-18 oz in a 24 hour period.
- Love the automatic syncing.
- Sleek design, easy to clean, and it tells you when to change batteries!
Cons:
- body fat readings are not reliable. Sensors only penetrate to the hip area & there's an extrapolation of upper body mass based on a standard metric. Fitbit now thinks I'm a dude because I changed my profile to get a more accurate reading.
- Expensive; you might be able to find these features cheaper.
Good luck with whatever scale you choose.0
