Hi All,
I am thinking of buying some new scales and wondered which ones you would recommend
Thanks

Someone bought some Salter scales recently, try the search box top left for Salter or scales

I have the weight watchers digital ones sorry im posting on my phone otherwise I would put a link up! I got mine from argos for £20. And they are always spot on.

cakey, do you mean you know they are accurate or that they are consistent? Of course consistency, even if inaccurate, is good (as long as it is not being faked by some internal electronics).

Or is occasional accuracy better? Reminds me of the joke about which is better, a clock that has stopped or a clock that is 2 minutes slow. The clock that has stopped, obviously - at least it's right twice a day.

Thank you.
The digital scales I use weigh in whole stones and pounds or kg and I have noticed that some of you report smaller increments than that. When I have a sneaky weigh in and my weight has stayed the same I would love to be able to know whether it is at the top end or the bottom end of that pesky pound!! That's what I mean, I would love some scales that would tell me that, not fussed about fat monitoring etc.
Thanks

I have the Salter ones and am pleased with them. They show good consistency wherever I put then on the bathroom floor; the precision is to the nearest 100B.C. Accuracy is, of course hard to tell. They weigh me a lot heavier than the old mechanical analog scales! But OH weighs the same on them as he has weighed for as long as he can remember, so they must be reasonable. Personally I think consistency is more important than accuracy!

I can't seem to post a link direct to the product using the "shop and support this site" link (shop.php) at the top of the page, but the scales I got are described as " Salter Glass Body Fat Analyser Bathroom Scale 9141 WH3R"
