Title: Update on "Better readings from a Magic 8 Ball"
Product review: Update: I replaced the Weight Watcher's scale the highly regarded $54 Tanita scale. Surprisingly, it gives the same initial reading as the el cheapo Weight Watchers scale. Neither scale can discriminate incremental weight change when I step back on the scale with a 1, 2, or 3 pound workout weight but the Tanita is considerably less inaccurate for this test. All said, I feel better relying on the Tanita.This thing is driving me nuts. Once it anchors a reading it won't budge from that number regardless of drinking 16 oz. of water (1 lb) or the reverse. I tried measuring its accuracy with a 10 lb plate in my arms. It was off by .2 lbs. That translates into an error of 2 lb per hundred pound of body weight. That's pretty much useless for self-motivation. With a 25 lb plat in my arms, it was off by .6 lbs or 2.4 lbs per 100 lbs. of body weight. Maybe I should get one of those carnival machines.
