Reliable Scale for everyday weight measure

I currently have weightwatchers scale but it does not seem to give correct weight. I want scale which is reliable and consistent. Please advise if you have recommendation for the same.

What makes you feel your scale is erroring?

Big fan of EatSmart scales here. Around $30 on Amazon. 3 years of daily weighing and charting have found them to be very consistent.

Any digital scale will do the trick as long as the battery isn't low. The key is to weigh in on the same scales on the same part of the same floor surface at the same time of day.

I have both an EatSmart scale from Amazon and a Fitbit Aria scale. On any given day, if I weigh myself on both scales, the weight is the same as long as both scales are properly calibrated. The only time they are not properly calibrated is when they've been moved, which we try not to do except for the once a week thorough cleaning of both bathrooms.

If your current scale is not consistent (meaning, within minutes you get multiple weight readings, not you get different readings at different times of the day or on different days), find out how to calibrate it. I thought my EatSmart scale was crap until I learned how to calibrate it when it was clearly off or giving inconsistent weights. Remember our bodies' weight fluctuates every single day, and all throughout the day. One day to the next can be a difference of plus or minus several pounds for me.

Thanks for all the great answers.

I think the problem is the daily weigh ins and not the scale. Switch to weekly weigh ins. Your weight fluctuates daily/hourly.
