My scales are driving me bonkers!!!

I have the weight watchers itracker scale which is fab because you can plug it into the computer and it measures bmi etc

but lately it has been so off - different readings everytime i stand on it !!! and it can be 5kg out!!! and it is still being usied in the same place so I do not understand it at all??

any suggestions? not keen to get rid as paid £50 for them a year ago - not that long???

    An update: contacted the site I bought them from - the domain has been sold and due to data protection they do not have any of my details - no help

    Called weight watchers and got the manufacturer's details

    they are going to send me the postage and either fix them or replace them - whoop whooop - so happy

    Victory for the consumer :)

    Maybe it needs new batteries?

    I had to toss my old one out last week because it was on the fritz like yours. I bout an Eatsmart Precision Plus scale from amazon!

    I love it and it has over 1000+ positive reviews! :)


    Here is the link to the one I got. I highly recommend it
