Digital scales

Anyone have a digital scale that the weight goes crazy? I've been using a non digital for a while and just bought a digital so I can be more exact with how much I weigh and The numbers aren't accurate. Sometimes they are 30 lbs difference, there a way to fix it? It's less than a day old

my fitbit one was off if I moved it would weigh myself 3 times and first weight off by 5lbs then it equalized. Now not moving it is pretty accurate maybe .5 lb variation.0

Is it on a hard surface? Some of them need to be tapped to adjust to zero before you weigh0
-
Maybe take the batteries out and let it reset? 30 lbs off is crazy, that’s called a broken scale.
Are you moving it? Mine gets wonky if I pick it up and move it, I have to leave it in the same exact place or else.1 -
This morning it was still giving me differences of 5lbs tried it a few times. I'll probably just return it0

If you are using it on a hard floor and still getting big fluctuations then it must be faulty.0
-
Try changing the batteries might just be that it came with rubbish ones. Test it with something of a fixed weight like a dumbbell.1
-
If it's on a hard surface, make sure there's not any packing material stuck near one of the feet.0

I put fresh batteries in, I'll see what a dumbbell shows , it's sitting on a hard floor0

Judging by what mine said this morning, it MUST be broken!5
