Digital or Analog??
 

I have a question for you all. Do you prefer digital or analog scales, and why?

I have been looking for info on the subject online, but can't seem to come up with much.

I personally use an analog scale. It seems to stay consistent throughout the day, unlike my bf's "hi tech digital" which will quote me a different weight/minute.

I like the digital, mostly because you can customise it with your height and age, to get a really accurate weight, and I have a hard time reading analogs. My only gripe is they take longer to
proccess'.

LOL yea I have to make sure my glasses are on in the morning when I get on that scale. That's the only negative thing I can think of about my analog.

I prefer digital, they are more accurate and last longer. When I first started I couldn't figure out why my weight on a doctor scale (the huge clunky metal with sliders that NEVER stop working) was so far off from what I was weighing at home, and Tim has one of those doctor scales in his office. So, we went to get a digital and sure enough, the analog was off by 5 pounds. They lose accuracy very quickly because of the system used to measure weight. Plus you can store info on a digital, like LeeLee said, but mine is simple so it only stores 2 users weights and no height or anything. Still very helpful.

I like the digital one but I only have analog. I might buy one soon because I need it.

I prefer digital too. I hear they are more accurate as well. With the analog you constantly have to make sure its calibrated correctly.

I like my digital because it has nice, GIANT numbers that I can read w/o my glasses on in the morning :p

I prefer digital too . . . because I can read it. I would love to have one of those big clunky slider types, but can't rationalize putting an addition on the house for it. :D

The clunky one in Tim's office looks like it's 100 years old :lol: and you should see how tiny the room is with what's left of space from that thing...it's like parking a small car in a bathroom stall

Digital. It's easier to read.

I also love my digital :)

Amen! :D

I love digital. Very accurate....I have a hard time reading analog too.

Analog because it was $6 at Target. :lol: And the next one up was $40. :o I know it's not a good scale too, but it was so so cheap.
