Caveat:  I bought a digital scale and sent it back.  It was so sensitive
to slight body movements on the footplate that the displayed digits were
always rapidly changing; it made reading the weight almost impossible. 

I have an old-fashioned mechanical scale now.  Body movements on 
the footplate make the needle on the dial vibrate slightly but it's
still perfectly legible.
