Need advice on a new scale

Doberdawn

Please do not just post I have an X & love it. Please provide the following info:

1. Make & model of your scale
2. Why you recommend it or don't like it
3. Whether you have ever tested its accuracy & how (e.g., put a kettlebell on it a few times)
4. Which features it has & how they work ... Do you like them? Are they easy or hard to use?

I need to get a new scale & I could use some quality input. Thanx!

I have a glass Weight Watchers scale (manufactured by Conair), Model WW35. It's probably 5+ years old.
- Takes a CR2032 3V battery
- Can set for kg or lb
- Can store up to 10 user profiles (height, age, gender)
- Measures body fat %
- Very easy to use
- (2) 8# dumbbells read as 15.9# (the slight inaccuracy could be the weights...they were inexpensive)

Doesn't look like they make my particular model anymore, but there are lots of "WW" models here, including several that look similar: http://www.conairscales.com/catalog.php
Some models also measure "body water" and bone mass, but I'm dubious about the accuracy of those measurements (and body fat %) with any typical household scale, especially because level of hydration, etc. can affect the reading.

I was looking at the Weight Watchers scale last night. It's on sale right now. Anyone else with reviews or preferences ?

Bumping this up hoping for more responses.

Trying again for more responses by bumping this up on the weekend.

I bought the Ozeri Touch scale on Amazon a few weeks ago. I tested it with some household items (5 lb bag of flour, etc.), and it was accurate.

It measures body fat %, hydration, muscle, and bone mass, and it saves your information in a profile. I was hesitant to believe that bathroom scale could accurately measure body fat, etc. but it seems to be aligned with my weight loss progress over the past few weeks.

Good luck with your purchase!

I remember reading in the past about scales that sync with MFP. Anyone know which scales those were & tried them?

I just bought the WW97 scale at bed bath and beyond. It does the whole body fat% etc, but I take those numbers with a grain of salt. I bought a WW scale at the recommendation of other people.
