Bathroom Scale Recommendations?

jenkidney

I'm looking to get myself a new bathroom scale, but I'm just not sure what to get. What do all you fine fine folks use? I don't have a lot of money to spend on it (preferably $30 or less)

Some things that I'm looking for in my new scale are:
*digital display
*measures to the tenths of a pound
*glass
*simple (I don't need it to measure BMI, hydration, or any other bells and whistles...just weight!)

Thanks in advance gang!

I have this one:

http://www.amazon.com/Weight-Watchers-WW53-Digital-Scales/dp/B004HX11MC/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1340125586&sr=8-16&keywords=weight+watchers+scale

It seems quite accurate (always within a pound or so of the weight at the gym/doctor's) and does go down to tenths. It's also very consistant. I've had problems with that in digital scales before, and have tested this one (it's about the same as my mom's non-digital one, and has remained that way).

It definitely depends on what you want to spend, but shelling out an extra $10 or so can make a huge difference in quality.

I did see that one while I was browsing on Amazon and was drawn to it, but then the reviews made me question it. I'm glad to hear that you like yours! I wonder if I would have the same luck as you...

I just got this one last week, and it is super accurate (I'm a scientist/engineer, so trust me, I put it to the test):http://www.walmart.com/ip/Taylor-7519-Ultra-Thick-Glass-Digital-Scale/11089592

Oh I hadn't seen that one! I like that backlit display, too...

The one I have is backlit as well. They look pretty similar, but I'd say if you can get an accurate one in the style you want for 10 bucks less, go for it
