Digital or Analog Scales???

eecruzmd

I don't have a scale at home and I am planning to buy one. It will be the first scale I'll owned so I need a bit of help.

What do you think... Digital or Analog and why??

Love my digital... gives me tenths of a pound :drinker:

I like my digital! It goes to the .1 of a pound, plus it's easier to read. I had an analog before, and I couldn't read it well at all. I much prefer my digital over the analog.

I use digital no more rocking back and forth to try to jog it lower and it gives me BF% skeletal muscle % visceral fat% BMI and Resting Metabolic rate so even if weight is stalled I can see body fat dropping and feel better about my progress

I agree with what everyone else has said. Digital so it goes to .1, but I wish I had purchased one that does BF% when I got mine

Digital is my recommendation.

I have a digital one...it's a really cheap model, it only weighs in 0.5lb increments, but it's pretty accurate when comapred to the doctor type scale, and it's easy to read. i would never consider an old school one.

Digital, it's more precise. My scale also provides a body fat percentage estimate. It may not be 100% accurate, but it provides a benchmark in regard to body fat.

LOVE the bf% digital scale I got from Walmart for around $40. Weighs very consistently. The bf% of up and down, but it will give you a general idea of the trend.

i have a digital... but I would love to have an analog, i just think its more precise.


wish i could go to the doctor´s office all the time to use one of these.. I dont believe in my digital scale that much.

Digital! easier to reset to 0 and no reading errors! (reading errors in analog: thinckness of the indicator, annoying shadows, the angle where you are viewing, etc).

Just don't become a slave of the precission, 1 pound and 1.0002342342 are the same

I bought a cheap sunbeam brand digital scale for around 12 bucks at walmart and it works fine for me.

Well I didn't know digital scales can do all of this so I guess I need to go in research mode and see how much it will cost me. I am very much interested in it now. Thanks all for the help.
