I am in the market for a new one and seen these pretty neat sounding ones from weight watchers that track a bunch of stuff...

Weight Watchers Glass Body Analysis Scale measures more than just weight for a better picture of your health. It also calculates your body fat, body water, bone mass and BMI (body mass index). It has an easy-read 1 1/2" display and monitors data for up to 4 users. 400-lb. capacity. Impact-resistant tempered glass platform with sensor pads. Uses 2 lithium batteries (included). 12 1/2" l x 12 1/4" w x 1 1/2" h.

To me that sounds pretty neat! Anyone own one of these or one like this? Is it pretty accurate? What do you recommend in a scale? I currently have a WW glass scale but it don't have all these neat little things on it...

    I have one. They are ok for weight, but the other stuff is really inaccurate. Especially the body fat analysis... it tends to consistently be very high. My trainer's scale said 27.5% when I first started, and my WW scale at home was telling me 33.5%. It also always tells me my water is "low" or "very low" (I drink literally almost a gallon a day... minimum 14 cups).

    My bone mass is apparently "very high". Not sure how accurate it is considering how inaccurate the other metrics are. On a last note, BMI is a really poor way to measure your health/ideal weight range as well, so it's not super useful either.

    I wouldn't recommend it. It'd be awesome except it's so inaccurate it's not worth it.

    I was wondering the same exact thing.. I have the oldest scale ever and recently have been obsessing over the scale point blank period. So my boyfriend gave it a way. :x lol it needed to go man no will power I stepped on it everyday. Anyway I'm going to buy a new one next month to logg my new weight on the hope that I do keep loosing weight. I want a really accurate one. I don't wanna be stepping on my scale and have it tell me I'm 5 lbs lighter then I am then have a doctors visit get weighed and be mortified :noway:

    I got a cheapo digital scale from Walmart. Tells my weight and that's all I'm asking for.
