What scale do you recommend?

I have two bathroom scales that are completely inconsistent. I could weight myself 5x in a row and get a different number. Can anyone recommend a good, reliable scale? Thanks!

    I recently bought a Weight Watchers scale from Walmart, very consistent and accurate. Was about $40(CAD).

    Mine works great for me - I have the Withings wi-fi scale, syncs with their app, Apple Health, MFP, etc.

    I like my weight Watchers scale too
    and $15 at Costco
    I read reviews on it at Amazon and got it
    What I like best about it is it takes regular batteries and
    Big digital lighted numbers

    I like my Fitbit Aria.

    If your floor your scale is on is uneven, you will get a different result each time. If you step on the scale in a slightly different spot, you will get a different weight. This is true for most scales (except those that keep spitting the same number out for a certian amount of time...yes there are scales that are programmed to save a weight and spit it out agian if you step on the scale within say 2 mins). Also keep in mind your weight isn't a static number. It will vary throughout the day.

    I just got the Fitbit Aria and I like it so far. I really like the automatic reporting to Fitbit and to MFP.

    Also make sure it's on a hard surface. Scales don't work well on carpet.

    Weight watchers one works great, right now I have a Walmart one, cheap, and not very good.. I'd give it a 3/10.
