Suggestions for reliable bathroom scale?

help!

I have a really hard time finding a reliable (preferably digital) bathroom scale.

I currently have a weight watchers brand that I bought a year or two ago... even when I put it in exactly the same spot on the tile floor, it can vary by 2 pounds within a minute or two... seriously, I step on and it says one reading... I step off, wait a minute, get back on, and I've gained or lost 2 pounds. As you know, when you are trying to lose, every 0.1 pound meaningful, so this is very frustrating.

I don't want to spend over $50... can anyone recommend a brand/model/store?

Thanks in advance!

If you've had the scale for two years or so, depending on how often you use it, you could be dealing with a battery issue, not a scale issue. I have a WW scale that I've had for about a year and it always gives the same reading if I try a couple of times in a row.

That said, I did a quick Amazon search and sorted by most popular/highest rating and got these two:

http://www.amazon.com/EatSmart-Precision-Digital-Bathroom-Technology/dp/B001KXZ808/ref=sr_1_1?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1326810067&sr=1-1

http://www.amazon.com/Eatsmart-Precision-Bathroom-Technology-440-Pounds/dp/B0032TNPOE/ref=sr_1_2?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1326810067&sr=1-2

Both are under $50 and a lot of the comments talk about how accurate it is.
