For a bathroom scale.

Been using a crappy old one its solid and works but iv decided its time to get a digital scale tht can beter show the proper numbers as im getting a lower weight and its hard to see a proper trend with lower number losses.

Need help, What should i look for in my new scale any extra bonuses that are good to have? Iv heard about scales with bluetooth? Any suggestions on a specific scale? Which do you use? Any info is appreciated honestly.

    I'm in for answers as I recently bought a Weight Watchers digital one and they are Cr@p! they need recalibrated every single weigh in or they remember the weight I was from previous weigh in.
    I did have a great pair of Salter digital ones though! not sure why I didn't stick with that brand! Doh!

    I bought a cheapie, Starfrit Balance scale, probably at Wallymart, and it works like a charm. It's glass so kind of stylish but dead accurate in that it never varies and always agrees with the gym scales and the doctor's office. I've tested it several times with various freeweights over the last couple of years and it always comes up the same.

    I've been hearing great things about the Taylor scale, but in regards to accuracy I've been readings withings is good but it's about expensive. You can find Taylor scales at Walmart for like $20 or less. I've also heard on amazon the Eat smart precision scale is pretty great.

    I've had this one for the past couple of years and have found it to be very accurate (when compared to a doctor's office). It's not bluetooth, but that doesn't bother me. The price was right.

    I have the Weight Gurus Bluetooth scale and I love it. It syncs your weight automatically to it's app, and then you can set it up to record the weight on MyFitnessPal/Fitbit/etc for you. Also measures some other things like body fat/BMI/etc. It was $60 on Amazon :)

    I love my Aria that coordinates with my Fit Bit and My Fitness Pal. It was pricey, but so worth it.
