Looking for recommendations for a digital bathroom scale. Thanks


Do you want any of the bloated features beyond displaying your
weight on a screen?
If you want more, that should be your guide.
One thing I discovered too late is that your scale
should have a display big enough that you can read it without
your glasses...remembering that you'll have the same scale
20 years from now and your eyesight probably won't be getting
better.

My $2 garage sale scale displays all manner of crap like BMI.
Why do I care? For most of us, the scale does one thing.
It tells us to put the padlock back on the cookie jar if
the number is too big. Having a BMI graph on your
iPhone is worthless if you can still access the cookie jar.

There's a marketing opportunity. A scale that has the cookie
jar attached that won't open if you're too heavy.


I just need an accurate weight. Do not need any bells or whistles.
