Advantages: Fantastic & High Quality Design, Great Display, 15 Year Guarantee.
Disadvantages: Cold Glass (See Review).
These Designer Precision Electronic Scales from Weight Watchers measure your body weight in stones, kilograms, or pounds (which can be set by a switch under the scales.)
When I think of designer items, I don't normally think of electric weighing scales, but in this case I have to say that this item looks fantastic. With its two smooth metal runners running parallel to one and other, the large glass platform, titanium finish, and dazzling (very easy to read) illuminated blue display (ideal for those who may struggle to see smaller, unlit, or analogue displays.)
I've used a number of electric scales in the past and I've always found that they tend to be relativity slow in operation or tend to change their minds often about how much you weigh. Thankfully that doesn't happen with these Weight Watchers scales. Simply press down on the glass to switch them on, step on and wait a few seconds.
They offer a stylish and accurate method of keeping up with your weight. They have the ability to measure in 100g increments to allow you to see even the smallest change. This is a handily feature as it will show those on a diet that they are losing weight (even in very small amounts) unlike it's analogue counterparts which never seem to change. At least this way it may offer a little boost to will power for those on a diet.
Build quality is excellent and they are also backed up by a 15 year guarantee, so I doubt that these scales will have to be replaced for a very long time. Batteries are included and are off the AAA (x3) kind. They are normally cheap to buy, and are very common to find. But hopefully they won't needed replaced too often.
One thing I have noticed is that the glass is rather cold, and standing on it first thing in the morning could be a shock to your system - so maybe socks would be recommended.
These scales may seem expensive at forty pounds (and I would tend to agree), but considering the quality both in terms of design and build, and the fact that it's makes weighing yourself seem less worrying, I would say that are worth the cost.
This product proves how much difference can exist between common household goods that we use every day. It shows that if you pay a little extra for quality you really get a quality product. If your looking for a new set of bathroom scales, then look no further as these put other scales to shame.

Summary: Thanks For Reading.

- 17/04/09 Oh, btw, good review - I'd be a bit scared to be measured in 100g increments, but having said that, I need to diet again (some of the weight I lost is playing homing pigeon)... |
