Digital or Analog

[Paplo]

I want to buy a new weight scale, mine is as old as the hills and I don't trust that it is accurate anymore. I've always had a traditional analog weight loss scale but I'm thinking about getting a digital weight loss scale. What do you guys think? Should I stick with analog or go digital? If you have a preference or if there is a reason why you prefer one over the other could you let me know why. I'm trying to find the pros and cons of each. Thanks!

I personally like the digital one. I don't think it's any different than the analog one. I'd say get the one you like the most. Just keep in mind that the digital one will require batteries that will need to be changed. So, if you find that annoying you might want to just consider the analog one.

That is a good point freddyboy. I never thought about the having the change batteries issue haha. But I guess, that's not really that much of a pain when all is said and done either.

Digital all the way! I highly recommend one with a big screen too so you can clearly see the digits. I love my digital scale. it's so easy to read and it's not a pain changing the battery at all.

I have to say I would choose analog. I've had one too many digital scales that malfunctioned on me. Plus I agree about the battery thing. Not only is annoying to change it but it's not exactly the best thing for the environment either.

I've had both and I don't really like one over the other. I think you should just go with the one you find the most comfortable. I have a friend who swears by digital and one who absolutely loves analog. Maybe if you're looking to try something new you should just go with the digitial one. If you find you don't like it, you can always go back to analog.

Haha. I love how everyone has an opinion on this! I think I'm going to try going digital for a while. If I don't like it I'll switch back to analog but I think the digital display will be nice for a change :)
