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 we 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 |

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. -- Started Weight Watchers together February 2002: Chris 332.4/184.8/185 Pat 198.4/???/155 2002 combined loss 139 2003 combined loss ??? Total combined ??? lbs |

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. Ray -- rmnsuk overall - 273/210/182 |

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.

Sunbeam Health-O-Meter Digital Lithium Scale???????
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. "SPOONS" wrote in message le.rogers.com...
