I'm short-sighted and on our mechanical scale, I can't see the thin lines to count out the precise kilos.
At first, I was bothered by that, but yeah, in addition to natural weight fluctuations, just bouncing a bit on the scale would stop it at different kilos, so eventually I considered it more of a feature that I couldn't tell precisely.
Most mid market scales buffer the weight to normalize it. I got a $20 one off Amazon that just tells me fresh every time and it’s great. I pooped .4lbs this morning.
Hmm, how would they buffer it, if you've got multiple household members? Or are we talking about those weird scales that require an app?
