Default Buying a new scale

I believe that my scale is conking out on me. I was wondering if anyone had scale recommendations. I can't live without my daily weigh ins, so I will be purchasing a new scale soon. My problem is I don't know which scale to choose. I want a digital scale with at least .2 percent increments and not to spendy. Recommendations welcomed.

Here's mine on Amazon, cheaper than when I bought it 2 yrs ago.

http://www.amazon.com/Ozeri-Touch-To.../dp/B003N4AVKE


Comes in black or white. My shopping guru co-worker found it, and I love it. Batteries last a long time, and are cheap to replace. It's consistent with my docotrs old-fashioned-but-accurate balance beam scale, and the other numbers are consistent over time.

The one idiosyncrasy is that, when I step on it each morning, the first value can be wonky. So I let it go through the cycle until it reads, then re-weigh.

I bought this one recently, and absolutely love it: http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00M...ilpage_o01_s00

It gives you weight in 0.2 lb increments, body fat % muscle % water % and bone weight. I have no idea why knowing how much your bones weigh matters, but whatev. Love the scale.

Thanks Mars735, Super B and MauiKai for your recommendations they all look really good. Question do you store your scale in the bathroom? The display on my scale looks much better this morning I am starting to think that there was moisture inside messing up the display feature. I've just moved my scale to the a closet outside of the bathroom. I find it very convenient to have the scale in the bathroom but this might not be an option.

I keep mine in my bedroom. Slides under the bed easily. Used to keep scales in the bathroom, but my current bathroom is SO small!
