Product Reviews of Weight Watchers WW-11D Portable Precision Electronic Scale
Product Review: More than 4 years of use...Awesome scale!
Summary: 5 Stars
The lifetime battery argument on this scale has been true so far...after 4 years of use it still works like the first day. I have never had any issues with it in terms of its precision, since I have confirmed many, many times that its readings are accurate: I'm in the military and we have to do weigh ins every 6 months, so this is the scale I always use to monitor my weight. Whatever it says I weight, when I go in to my military office to weigh in, that is exactly what I get over there, no joke. It is very reliable, NO MAINTENANCE at all, lifetime battery, good looking, GREAT price...What else can you ask for? From my LONG experience with it, I would HIGHLY recommend it!Product Review: Not bad
Summary: 4 Stars
This scales works pretty good. As for the accuracy of the scale I couldn??t tell you, but I??m sure it is close enough, besides if you want an accurate weight of yourself go put yourself in water and measure the displacement. ?? It??s a good productProduct Review: Not bad, not great; decent

After using this scale every day for about 15 months, I have a pretty good idea of its advantages and limitations. Although this scale is fairly accurate, I found that my results differed greatly depending on how I was standing on it.
Movement of even 1/2 an inch could cause the weight to vary by a pound or more, while the most consistent and accurate results were obtained by making sure I was centered directly over the scale by balancing on one foot (my foot placed horizontally just next to the 'Save/Recall' button). Not exactly convenient, though I did eventually find a two-foot position that usually jived with the one-foot balancing position.
Unfortunately, I still found myself double-checking the two-foot results by switching to the one-foot, until I was able to find consistent agreement between the two. Most mornings this resulted in a ritual that varied between a half-a-minute and five, depending on how temperamental the scale was being. I have been so picky about getting consistent results because I am using this scale for tracking weight loss/gain, recording each day's results in a fitness journal.
It took me about a year, but eventually I just got sick of the rigmarole of fighting to get consistent and accurate results with the scale (accuracy being the lesser of the two problems) and so I began to shop around, finally settling on the following scale after reading reviews of its quality, consistency, and the manufacturer's exemplary customer service: EatSmart Digital Bathroom Scale w/ Extra Large Backlit 3.5" Display and Oversize Platform, Silver. My experience with the new scale has so far been fantastic, with wonderful consistency and accuracy. It's also much better looking.
On a separate note, for those who are trying to keep consistent & objective track of their bodyweight, you will typically achieve the best results if you weigh at the same time each day. The best time is probably in the morning, directly after waking and using the bathroom, since hydration and abdominal content (if you catch my drift) will usually be more consistent at this point than at any other.
I mention this since knowing this has made it easier to get consistent, objective weights and chart where my weight is trending. It has also made me more aware of how I react at night and in the morning to what I eat throughout the day, but especially to what I take in towards the evening and just before I go to bed.
Product Review: Not good
Summary: 1 Stars
Within the first 5 minutes of using this scale, I realized that it wasn't good. My weight turned up between 105-112 lbs on my first few weighings (I weigh over 150). Maybe this was a defective piece, I did see other reviewers with positive feedback. However, am returning this one immediately and searching for a new one.Product Review: Not reliable

EVERY time I stand on this scale, it gives a different reading. Today I'm looking for a new scale. I do NOT recommend this scale if you really want to know how much you weigh. It can be off by up to 5 lbs!
