Sunbeam Health-O-Meter Digital Lithium Scale???????

Hi all,

I'm looking to buy a digital bathroom scale & I just noticed that I have enough "HBC rewards", it's
from The Hudson Bay Company you get points for everything you buy and then in their yearly cataloge
you can use your points to buy stuff. Here's the info on the scale they have:

Sunbeam Health-O-Meter Digital Lithium Scale Scale measures in 0.2 kg (0.5 lb) weight increments
displayed on a 2 cm LCD Long life lithium battery never needs replacing. 10 year limited warranty.

The only thing I don't understnad is the "weight increments" 0.2 kg (0.5 lb).

At my last WW's weigh in I weighed 157.4

If I buy this Sunbeam scale would it be the same weight increments as the WW's sale? Or different,
instead of 157.4 what would I weigh if I use this scale?

I also found some VERY expensive scales and their weight increments were: Weight Increments: 0.2 lb
(0.1 kg) weight increments: 0.1lb / 0.1kg

So what I am asking is should I get the Sunbeam Health-O-Meter Digital Lithium Scale? Will it
measure weight the same as the WW's scale?

Thanks a bunch, SPOONS

It measures in 0.5 lb increments wich means it is different than the WW scale. You will see
measurements of 157.0, 157.5 or 158 none in between. That is how my scale works. I only use it as a
refference anyway, to let me know if I am going in the right direction. It is the WW one that
really counts.

WW scale uses 0.2 pound increments as opposed to that half pound (0.5)

But as others say, it is the relative value and is it pretty accurate for in its measurements. Mine
seems pretty accurate (tanita) and only tracks at 0.5 like the one you are looking at. That's enough
to keep me honest.

That's a neat scale, but I wonder how big the display really is. I'm having a hard time reading my
large dial scale.

You must be better at saving your points than I am. I've got about 460 and that won't get me
anything. Sigh.

Thanks Chris for the info. So which "weight increments" does ww's scale use? 0.2 lb (0.1 kg) Should
I buy a scale that measures in 0.2 lbs?

Thanks a bunch,

SPOONS

.5lbs is fine. We have two scales The one I usually use is measured in 1lb increments and is
accurate to "a bit". It usually gives the same reading twice, but if I put it somewhere else on the
floor it'll read a bit different. The other scale is in 2lb increments, but it's wood and glass and
looks lovely. I love mechanical things like scales and locks and watches. That always shows the same
reading, but strangely it reads quite a bit higher, it's not calibrated properly. I only keep it
'cos it looks so nice.

Even fairly expensive scales aren't very accurate, but they are good enough to track weight. The
scales at WW are calibrated often and work on a different principle to household scales. They are
probably quite accurate, but very expensive.
