Hi, I want a sacale that gives me precise readings, if you step on and off, Does it gives you the same reading?

The one that I received was very inaccurate and never consistent. I would not recommend this scale.

The scale is usually consistent if you keep the scale in the same spot and weigh yourself each day at the same time. Unfortunately, after a few weeks of use the scale was off by about 7 pounds. Even after putting it to zero, it was still saying I was 7 pounds less than I was. My doctor's digital scale agreed with my other digital scale. Not a good thing .

The key to keeping a scale accurate is put it in one spot and try not to move it. This scale has been accurate for us.

It's pretty accurate. You just have to be sure that it is on level ground. If it isn't, your weight will be different every single time.

It does reset between readings. It beeps when it finishes one complete reading. You may start another reading as soon as the current beep finishes.

I have found them not to be very accurate. I returned my first unit for that reason. The second unit was not much better. There are better auto units available. I don't use it anymore in my office.

I've found that it can be very temperamental and if the sensor and pick-up are not close enough together or lined up properly then it will not give you a reading. But with occasional small adjustments mine works every time.

Seems to be a couple seconds for a reading to display. I have not had experience with the motion you are likely experiencing. I am a landlubber. Static measurements across a room. I am measuring in that same distance 10 to 60 ft.

As I recall the calibrates when you tap the platform with your foot and let it settle. You need to do this whenever the unit is moved.

No. I found my unit to be unusable...I couldn't tell what it was actually measuring. This computer made it go nuts, but when I set it on the keyboard, then slowly took my hand away from it, the 1200+ reading dropped to zero, implying that it was measuring some combination of skin conductance plus ??? Do not buy this thing.

Pretty sure you would have to continually re-set it to start over again. It pumps up, releases, displays your reading. You could certainly just continually do that for an hour or two thus getting readings every minute or so.

No, the meter only reads the real time light intensity in foot candles. You would need multiple readings throughout the day and then estimate an average.

Yes!!! I love this device. I use it all the time and it seems very accurate.

No. It is a simple pedometer with one button, a reset to zero steps. The "instructions" that came with it said it was sensitive to differences in walking and would adjust automatically. It has worked fine for me.

No. Essentially the sensor is a pedometer. Your foot needs to hit the ground.

Is your scale on a level, hard surface? If you do, you may have a defective scale. I first step on the scale and quickly step off. I wait until the scale turns off, then step on again to see my current weight.

I can not answer that but what I did was take it to the nurse where I work and compared their readings to mine using their equipment vs mine. The results were very close. The nurse was happy with the comparison. She said it is not an exact science.

I have only used the instrument a couple of time -- months ago. I do remember checking my cell phone and got a low reading. Don't know how accurate, or what reading would be normal.

This unit is pretty innacurate. It will give different readings (upto 30mb) if you don't position it exactly the same way each time, and will also give inconsistent readings (upto 15mb) if you takes consecutive readings without adjusting it at all.
