Hi all.
I’ve had a pair of Fitbit Aria weighing scales for a while now. Have to say they have been ok but do every now and then irritate me calibrating etc.
Which ones do you guys all have?

I use a digital scale that was on sale at the time I bought it. Not fantastic. I got into the habit of calibrating it every morning, and I still don't trust it 100% ... but it's the tend that matters, not the number any particular day.3

Yeah I am exactly the same mindset. Trend is important thing1 -
I use a Tanita digital scale. Nothing fancy, but it's accurate.2

I'm confident mine are accurate because I've checked them against a certified-for-trade scale at a shop my friend owns. The BIA crap that is included in them though, that's a completely different story.

I use digital that also monitors body fat it
may not be totally accurate but the times when I never lost a lot of weight the body fat still went down. That keeps me sane!2 -
I use digital. They are easier for me to read.1

It really doesn't matter what type you use as long as you always use the same ones.6

Basic digital scales from John Lewis - I checked them against calibrated ones in a sports science lab and they were accurate. x4 as expensive ones were out by (a consistent) 2lbs.
I don't need or want any extras apart from knowing my weight, mirror gives me a good enough idea of body composition and I only track my weight trend casually so don't need any connectivity.0 -
I have a cheap one from Argos. I calibrate it every morning with a different weight then zero it and weigh myself. Otherwise, it just remembers my weight from the day before and will show that. With this method, I think it is quite accurate and I am getting a good trend downwards each day that I am happy with.0

Tanita digital. Utterly, insanely accurate. Doesn't connect to WIFI or do or tell me anything but my weight, which is how I prefer it.1

I have a Taylor model # 7506. Consumer Reports rated it a 95 and an "Excellent" on accuracy. So far so good.1

I use a weight watchers bmi body scale. Dont use the bmi function but overall its pretty accurate. I use my 15 pound dumbell to check the accuracy when I feel it might be off but its always 99% accurate most its off was 2 ounces. Have had the scale for 6 years0

For weighing me: cheapish (£20 or thereabouts) digital scale from Argos. Another vote here for trend rather than actual number.
For weighing food, I’m a bit of a traditionalist so use a balance scale with weights. It’s not as accurate as a digital because the finest division is 5g (smallest weight) but it works for me. 13kg down and maintained for over a year.0
