Whether you’re actively following a weight-loss program or you just want to keep closer tabs on your weight, you'll want the best bathroom scales available. Digital bathroom scales are in high demand over analog bathroom scales for people who want to track more than pounds (you can even choose a talking bathroom scale if you don’t care to look down to read the numbers yourself).

Analog Bathroom Scales
There are two kinds of analog bathroom scales: spring-based scales and weight-based scales like you step on at the doctor’s office. Weight-based scales are considered by many health professional to deliver the most accurate and consistent readings over time. If you’re following a strict weight-loss regime where accuracy counts, a weight-based analog scale is your best choice.

Spring-based scales with their numbered dials used to a common sight in most homes. Tricky to read and adjust at best, these analog scales aren’t known for their accuracy. Some models also cost as much more advanced digital bathroom scales, making cost-savings a poor reason for choosing one.

Digital Bathroom Scales
It’s hard to misread the numbers on a digital bathroom scale display, but you should look for models that have screens you read easily without having to bend forward.

People who want to track their weight over time should look for memory capabilities that can compare your most recent weight reading to up to 10 previous readings. If more than one person will be using the scale, look for models that offer the ability to track and store data for multiple users, a feature sometimes called personalization.

If you’re going to purchase a digital scale, choose a brand or model that requires lithium instead of AA batteries for the longest battery life.
