Scales

Advantages: Look nice, take heavy weights, give accurate reading
Disadvantages: Loads of precise instructions

...scales are actually made for WeightWatchers by Babyliss. I should also mention that on the box of these scales it advertising that you can receive 2 free copies of the WeightWatchers magazine, this is because you get a discount on a year’s subscription. I think this is a bit misleading, but if you already get the WeightWatchers magazine this may be an advantage. On the back of the box there is some information which is clearly trying to sell the ...
...find out more about WeightWatchers you can call them on 08457 123 000 or visit the website www.weightwatchers.co.uk I would recommend these scales to anyone I think these would ideal of a family, the kids wouldn’t be able to play with them, except standing on them. The problem arises here because people may become obsessed with their weight, it is advertised that you only weigh yourself once a week. At some point everyone likes to know exactly how ...

I did find the instructions a bit repetitive, but the information ... Read review

Advantages: Display, price, size, everything!
Disadvantages: If you want one that measures body fat as well, this hasn't got it

...a leaflet to subscribe to Weightwatchers magazine. The leaflet (at least in my scales) gives you the option to subscribe for 3 months at £5 and then continue the subscription at £30 for another year. I didn't subscribe because I don't like the idea of having to call/write to cancel, because they automatically sign you up for a year subscription after the end of the 3 months, and I am the kind of person who forgets about it until I see that the direct ...
...I think "well, now I have paid, why not?" and I end up with magazines I don't read and subscriptions everywhere. The manual has information about the scales, instructions for use, a list of safety cautions, instructions to replace the battery, information about the guarantee period, the Customer Services details and some advice about using your scales. DESCRIPTION The scales measure (in cm) 32.7 (W), 30.7 (D) and 2.1 (H), so it is really ... Read review

Advantages: Fantastically accurate.
Disadvantages: Horribly accurate.

These are a plain white set of electronic scales bought from ASDA for £10, which considering they have a 15 year guarantee seems to me to be pretty good value. they are pretty thin, less than an inch and a half thick, the scales wiegh around 2lb (there is no techie info with them) and can weigh up to 23 stone (not that I need that) and can weigh in stones and lb's (and ounces), lb's only or KG. All of which show on an electronic display. To switch ...
...the underside. The operation of these scales is a little different to other scales I have used, where instead of just stepping on, one has to 'tap' the scales first as vibration activates them, wait 3 seconds then step on, once the weight is displayed the display remains for 15 seconds. There is a very helpful instruction sheet in a number of languages which details the setting up, operation and instructions realted to the scales, including what ... Read review

Advantages: Stylish - your weight and more!
Disadvantages: Too much information?

I decided that I would like to know a bit more about my body weight and composition - looking back I don't quite know why! This is a stylish piece of equipment that comes with a detailed set of instructions. WHAT DOES IT DO - This model gives: Body Fat Percentage Body Water Percentage Children's Healthy Body Fat Ranges Bone Weight Basal Metabolic Rate Metabolic Age - (my personal favorite!) Muscle Mass Physique Rating Athlete Mode Oh ...
...is easy to use. You can set it up for 4 different users and it will remember their height, age and gender. It will weigh you in the traditional fashion - helpful if you want to watch your weight for whatever reason. It gives a nice clear digital display. The other readings? Are they useful? I'm not convinced they are. I now know all sorts of things about my body but it does not really change that much about me. I know I need to exercise and eat ... Read review
