Recommend a good scale?

What are some recommendations for a good, accurate scale? Mine broke last year and I never replaced it (throwing it across the room will do that). I had one of the first digital ones, circa 1989 maybe?
I have had several in my cart at Amazon, but every one of them seem to get mixed reviews. I am trying to keep serious track of my progress now....so what is a good scale to buy?

They're all different you just have to stick to using 1 really to gauge changes. IMO the body fat scales are a huge waste of money.. just a regular digital scale is all you need, see your doctor for a BF % reading.

I also bought the weight watchers digital scale. I absolutely love it! I bought the one that did water percentage, bmi, and bone density. I love it! Got it on sale at Target for $310

Someone got me a fitbit aria for my birthday. I like it. I step on in the morning and it automatically sends my weight and body fat to the fitbit server, which syncs with mfp.
I would have never bought it, as it is pricey, but I like it.0 -
I have had the same Taylor scale for several years. It is very accurate. I was over 350, so not every scale was right for me.

I just bought a Jawbone...it would be cool to link it to a scale, but I'm not that tech saavy.
Accuracy is important to me, because my last digital scale I had to get on and off 3 or 4 times and then take the number that came up most often.0 -
Add me to your jawbone team Amanda monhollen0

I heard that the most accurate scales are those big medical ones like the ones at a doctors office.0
