Although, the Weight Watchers ww42 scale may look nice on your bathroom floor, its measurements are terribly inconsistant.
After zeroing the scale and paying close attention to my foot placement, I can get off the scale and back on the same way with almost a 5 pound differance in weight reading.

Me and my mother both bought this scale and on mine I had to hit it so hard w/ the ball of my foot to start that it rattled everything in the medicine cabinet. I thought it could of been jsut mine, but my mothers is the same way as well. I have a small baby and there is no way I could weigh myself when he's sleeping. I also got 2 different readings- off by 4/10's of a pound in a 10 minute period.

I bought this product base on the great reviews here. Generally, the scale worth the money. When you step many times on the scale, at 15 seconds interval, it will show you exactly the same value. But if you look carefully, you'll see that the second or third time, the final displayed value will switch to the value from first time, probably memorized. If you ask someone to step on the scale in-between, the scale will not show to you such great constantness. The same if you wait few minutes between weights.
I would say that it memorizes the first value and if the second or third are close in some tolerance limits, they will be dropped. I would expect to see measured value all the time.
