Why am I different weights on different scales
That's because each brand of scale may have different calibrations, and some scales may be synchronized for your own body type or BMI. If they're good scales, they'll probably get an accurate reading that's very close to your correct body weight.
How do I know if my scale is accurate?
Weigh two objects together.
- Place one object on the scale. Note the weight. Take it off and let the scale even back out. ...
- If it matches, the scale is accurate. If it doesn't, try it again and see if it is off by the same number. If it is, it might be that your scale is always off by that amount.
Why do scales become inaccurate?
A scale's moving parts or load cells may come into contact with water or other chemicals that cause the components to degrade and malfunction. Moving scales between environments with extreme variations in temperature can also result in temporary inaccuracy.
