 Accurate for the fat man June 10, 2008
Since the weight capacity for this scale is 380 pounds, I expected it to be more accurate than most of the dial scales that I've used in the past with a 300 pound capacity... especially since I'm hovering around that 300 pound mark. I've been very pleased with its consistency as I am on Weight Watchers and seeing a pound or two drop off each week.
The large digital readout is definitely a great feature. No more squinting to see where that red dial falls on those itty bitty black lines. I used to "guesstimate" my weight - now I know what it is!
Does it actually weigh me at my correct weight? Well, I've always felt that your weight is somewhat relative to the scale you use. I don't care if this scale weighs me 30 pounds more than at the doctor's office (which it doesn't) because THIS is the scale I weigh on regularly. If I lose 10 pounds on this scale, I would imagine I would've lost the same 10 pounds on the doctor's scale. The actual number doesn't interest me - it's the difference between the numbers that does. So... to answer the question, I don't know if it weighs me the same as the doctor's scale. I don't care if it does or not.
 Very Disappointed April 28, 2008

I was very excited when we bought this scale. I thought it was very accurate in the beginning. However, my husband kept telling me that his weight would change by 5-10 lbs within a minute, 5 minutes, etc..Finally it happened to me and I realized he was right. I got out our old scale that is not digital and weighed myself. I was 5 lbs lighter on that one. To make sure that one was accurate I put my dumb bells on it and it read it exactly, then I added other items just to make sure. SUre enough, our old $10 scale was right. I think most of the digital scales are not going to be very good. I am going to stick with our non-digital scale from here on out. Don't be fooled by the technology and the sleek look.
 Great appearance but below average accuracy March 2, 2008
Sometimes this scale will report the same weight from minute to minute. Other times, your weight will vary as much as one to two pounds. Three of us have tried this with the same result and we are not very impressed.
Not worth the money February 16, 2008
I bought this scale to keep track of my weight loss and exercise program. This scale does not take an accurate weight. Even if I have just been to the doctor's office, the scale will say that I have gained 10 lbs in a 15 minute drive. Despite reading the manual and following the directions, this scale is next to impossible to program. Maybe I have a defective scale, but based on the other reviews, I doubt it.
footprints... ew February 9, 2008
Warning: it looks cool but you might end up with gross footprints on it because it's clear glass.
I like the WW scales because they tend to be better calibrated than other scales. That said, this, like most others has some problems.
The biggest issue is that if you move it from room to room or go from one place to another and weight yourself it will give you a different reading. Every scale I've ever had has done this. I still don't know why.
If you keep it in the same place and weight yourself right there you'll get an accurate picture of where you are on your weight-loss journey.
