    I just change mine whenever it goes flat!

    I change it when it starts to jump either up or down without much reason. If I eat Chinese food and it's up 2kg, I get it. If I eat veggie and bean pasta and it's up 2kg, I might change the batteries.
    Regardless, if you're in doubt of the scales and it's been a while.. just change them.

    I like your mirror better. Get an analog scale instead. Go old school ;)

    Mine says it has a low battery and eventually won't give me a reading, so then I change it.

    I only use the scale at the gym - it is for humongous people.... One day I will be able to use our own scales, best get a new battery...

    I change them at the same time I change my smoke detector batteries. Just easier to swap out all my house batteries at the same time.

    as far as i know mine does not have a low battery indicator. when it starts going wonky with readings i change them out. just had to do it last week. i might change them once a year or so

    Be sure to calibrate it every time before you step on. Lightly press on it with one foot and it resets to 0.

    Mine does both! First it does the wonky readings (like this motioning, I apparently gained 20lbs in 2 days according to that erratic scale), then it shows the “lo” signal after it’s done messing with your mind.
