It doesn't matter. Pick ONE scale and use it to determine whether you are gaining or losing weight. Also, measure at the same time of day. Hydration levels and how much you've had to eat makes a big difference. The accuracy of the number doesn't matter unless you are participating in a sport with weight clases.

anyways, is the digital scale more accurate?? the other scales are the ones that you move the weight, by 50lbs on then use the smaller slider, of course these are not the same type of scales that boxing professionals use where they use real weights, etc...

your fat get over it
