Weight Watchers WW8988A

Fiddly to set up – Warning: Don't use this on carpet. It will lose 30 kgs of correct weight. This scale is annoying to set up. It shuts off within 15 seconds if you don't press a button, but you have to use your toes as you can't see the read out if you bring it up to face level. It's poorly designed and not a lot of fun to use.

Weight Watchers Scales !! Complete and utter waste of money !! – Hi, I have just brought these scales and after returning the first unit because I thought it was faulty. I have now realised it is the instructions that are so badly written, so I have given up trying to set it up, and will be returning them to the store first thing tomorrow morning. What I did notice is that even when it does display your data, it rattles through it so fast the only way to record the information is using the video on my cell phone, so that I can actually go through and check the readings at a reasonable pace.

I would strongly recommend that you do not buy this particular set of scales as they have obviously not been developed by someone that ever uses scales, and they have obviously not checked the accuracy of the manual and setup process to make sure it is compatible ?? Go Figure !!

Frustrating instructions but eventually worth it – The profile setting must end by pressing user - pressing set as instructed resets the data, very frustrating. Very quick data display but once learnt, is useful. $60 on sale.

Don't waste your time – Looked great lots of information, but my weight should be 90kg and said I was 56kg, maybe this is how weight watchers makes all their money haha. Also has a memory function that I found to be a bit painful, It remembers your weight for 30 seconds after you step off it, if the weight is within 0.5kg of the previously weighted measurement, (this would mean that even though the scales are suppose to be accurate to 0.1kg, that the manufacturers admit that they are really only accurate to within 0.5kg),

I imagine that this is to hide the inaccuracies of the weighting mechanism, a lot of cheap scales read very differently if you stand in a slightly different spot on the scales.

Still I entered my age 41, gender Male, and height 192cm and stood on the scales to get my start weight, which showed as being 56.7 kg and then promptly showed me a suggested Goal weight of 10% less than this which was 49.1kg. Clearly if these scales are as sophisticated as they say, it should have worked out that there was an error and displayed err...?? AAA batteries, lots of information BMI, BMR, Fat %, Water%, Muscle% etc etc Incorrect weight, about 30kg under, poorly programmed

Dont buy it – I wont go on and on about this scale but it is quite annoying to use .. For many reasons ,firstly when you try and set it up with all your particulars is gives you a short time to do it like 8 seconds ,whilst you are reading the long listed instructions to input your details it turns itself off to save power ? This entails you to keep repeating the process over and over again untill you beat the clock so to speak.Really ,you have to experience this to see that i am not simply exagerating ,really annoying for an expensive device like this.Also as you read the instruction you wil realize they have made an error in the setup guideline,i was wondering why i couldnt get the memory to save my details as per instructions,but as it turns out when it say to press set you have to press user instead on some settings ?? That in itself is wrong and wll have you getting upset over and over again.Finally once i worked all this out 4.5 hours later of intense stress ,you will finally be able to read your body fat and mass ect..But whilst doing this the scale races through these readings so quickly and turns itself off again in 8 seconds ,so you have to repeat the proceedure at least 7 times of jumping on the scale to write down those readings onto paper ???

In short this scale will drive you insane ,i am here to warn you to buy something that had been engineered with common sense ,because this product sure as hell hasn't.. Looks nice Not user friendly at all...
