I have the Weight Watchers ones too, Bez. They're sort of 'silver' in colour? I find them very good, and the battery lasts for ages.

I have had some for a out six years which I bought in Boots and are weight watchers ones - digital and have been reliable - numbers large and clear enough to read without specs. Will do stones, pounds and fractions, the number of pounds and KGS. I find them great and paid using my points so I consider them free.

Reddevil3 How long have you had them? I have found the digital kitchen ones very unreliable. I just want to know how heavy I am.
I am not worried about my BMI! I know I am just not tall enough for it. grin

I have some lovely digital ones with all sorts of programmes programmable (!) none of which I use. (They will work out your BMI for example)
They were about £15 from Lloyds Pharmacy.

My scales are past their best and I have been looking too. Argos have quite a choice and Amazon has the ones l like the look of much cheaper.

I need to buy some new more reliable ones. The ones I have are over 20yrs ?30yrs old. I have tried digital ones in the kitchen and they seem not to last.

I need to be able to read them from 5' above them which means a big enough Dial. Then its digital vs mechanical. I don't want to pay more than £30.

Which is a bit silly when I paid a lot more treating myself to a set of weights and kitchen balance scales in February. (They are such an improvement on the spring balance sort.) I could do with some suggestions please.
