Weight Watchers WW185A

Repeats same weight – From day one this scale kept repeating the same weight. This is a WW scam to keep you buying their wares. Even when I held a 2L container to make me 2kg heavier it told me I was the same weight. Do not waste your money on this scam. Show details

Scale is not reliable – The scale seemed to work really well for a while and it has some good features, but there is something clearly wrong with it. It's almost like is has a "memory", so it will give you a reading on a particular day, and then gives exactly the same reading day after day. You almost have to do a "reset" by weighing something completely different, then… Read more

if you hop back on, it "resets" itself and seems to be accurate for a short time. I love some of the features where it provides bone density and body fat data and you can store individual information, but this is all secondary to the primary purpose. If it can't provide reliabe and accurate weight readings, the additional information is superfluous. I bought the scales a few years ago, but I am so disappointed with it, that I felt I had to write a review. I can't recall where I bought it or how much I paid, but I know it was not expensive.

AGREE : Yes, scale is crap – Yes, scale is crap. Wrong readings, SAME reading for different weights...need sledgehammer tap sometimes to get it going....useless..., will go out and buy another brand,or get the old analog type scale.  Show details

Couple of years old no problems – Our family has been using this for weight only measurements. I turned on the extra features today - had to refer to manual, and now it displays bone density, hydration and body fat. It has been reliable since purchase. I like the extra features.

Not bad – I have only had these scales for 3 days and have no complaints. Learn how they work and how to best use them. Spend a little time and read the instructions and they should work for you. It would have been nice to get full size chart with the scales, but you don't. The 3 extra readings you get (Body Fat, Body Water, Bone Mass) will be quite… Read more

useful over time.

Just remember that your body weight changes through the day. Also so don't expect gram accuracy.

These scales are supposed to be accurate to about 5 grams.

So far this seems to be true.

Good weight watching. Easy to use. Only a few settings. Only a few settings. Base model.

Really good – I found it is easy to use & set up. I also like this because it hasn't got too many futures on it. Yet it shows you the main things like Fat & Bone weight. Also I like the design. I think I can monitor my weight with this OK. Simple & easy to use Have it "hit" quite hard to switch ON

Waste of money – These scales have a mind of their own. I knew I lost weight, it remembered the same weight . I decided to buy the seca analog scales Which doctors surgery use Show details

Poor scales – Very disappointed with these scales difficult to work . Inaccurate reading if you can even get one . Should be taken off the market ! I feel i wasted my money as now need to buy another pair .Very disappointed weight watchers Show details

Terrible – This scale either gives error messages or gives conflicting reading. Never been accurate and every time it gives different readings . Do not waste your money or this product. Crap, Crap, Carp!!!

This WW185A Scale is crap and only lasts for one set of batteries – This WW185A Scale is crap and only lasts for one set of batteries It also insists on remembering & repeating the last reading unless one grips the bathroom towel rail to make it weigh much less, so the next reading is 'new'

Repeats same weight – The scales just keep repeating the same weight when I know there wrong, Changed the batteries. Im going to throw them out, really disapointed because I thought being WW thry would be the best

Weight readings totally wrong – I haven’t managed to get these scales to work since I purchased them. Straight away there was a error message which I managed to clear after resetting the scales (taking battery out) 3 times. Once scales were reset, the weight was completed inaccurate displaying my weight at 23st when I am around the 10.5 stone mark!!! Absolutely terrible product!!

Shattered glass – Scale disintegrated into a thousand pieces. This being caused by accidental knock to one corner when moving in the bathroom. Expensive and dangerous. When working did not perform accurately. Bought Wellcare for 9 dollars from Harvey Norman, simple and accurate.

Weight Watcher scale scam – This scale either gives error messages or gives conflicting read outs within minutes-it-I supposedly gained 3 pounds its over night-not to be trusted or bought. Don't buy it ever!!

Fair – Not as good as expected, one rubber stand fell off in the first week, had to go back to exchange to another. It requires a bit of setting up in order to get the fat% info, which is fair enough. But afterwards, I found out that the figure is not reliable. I wish I had known before I purchased. It's not mentioned on the package.

Just won't work properly – Bought the WW710A model, paid more for a 'reputable brand'. My mistake, I should have read the reviews first. I have owned a body analysis scale in the past (not WW) and it worked perfectly for 10+ years until the digital display gave out. This piece of junk, what a pain to try and set up! Finally got it to register one person's details,… Read more

briefly, before they disappeared and it went back to weight only before turning off. Never could program other people in. Gave up in disgust and will be returning for a refund.

Went into Target and got their brand name scale (for half what I paid for WW). Looks great, programmed 4 family members in easily within 10 minutes and works as it should. What is so hard about that WW?

Inaccurate readings everytime – These worked briefly but then suddenly gave two of us different readings each time I stepped on. It is not good enough when you spend money on a reputable brand supported by a reputable company. WW.

Crap – These scales are crap - both my sister and I have these scales and we both think it was a waste is money, for the price you pay and also how big weight watchers is I would have thought they have a good product but no. Would not recommend.

Total waste of money – Never before have I ever used a bathroom scale that gives people a different reading every time used. I mean climb on, get the weight, minutes later do same and different weight between 1 to 4 Kgs. Others I know who have the same unit have same issues. Would've taken it back for refund hadn't the receipt been lost. Ok Weight Watchers, you signed off pushing this Chinese manufactured crap, time to suck it up and order a product recall.

Not happy, Jan! – I am VERY displeased with these scales as I checked them against the Pharmacy scales & by weighing myself then picking up something large & weighing myself again & the scales stayed the same. I now can't find my instruction booklet & the scales are completely useless. Where can I get another copy of the instructions (which by the way I did try to… Read more

follow when I first set the scales up & even WITH the instructions they didn't seem to work. Any suggestions? Any help?

OK. for 6 months – These were fine for just measuring my weight. But then they just went haywire after about six months. I am not happy with the cost for such a poor product. My next set will be very simple and very cheap, after all it is only a scale.

Taking it back – Same as all the other reviews ... different weight every time I get on at 10 minute intervals!!! A simple accurate scale would be great the rest I don't need. Won't start with a tap!!!!

Useless – This scale has a very clever "memory" feature. So - unless you reset the scale by getting on with something heavy, and then actually weighing yourself only, you do not get an accurate result. I thought I was doing OK - my weight wasn't changing. There had been a gradual creep over a period of time and because it is so very clever to remember… Read more

you, it didn't register the change. My weight had really changed over 1.5 kg over that period.

I thought I had faulty scales - so even bought another WW model - but they all do the same thing.

Not worth buying – I can weigh myself with this scale and 10 minutes later, without eating or drinking anything, get a difference of plus or minus 1.8 lbs. I will absolutely be returning this.

It's alright – Seems to have bad reviews, but it generally gives me the correct weight and it's been similar when I've checked on other scales. I'd have to weight myself on like 5 different scales within 5 minutes to determine how accurate it actually is, I guess

Absolutely useless – Scales won't turn on by "tapping". User information won't save. Weight is inaccurate. A totally rubbish product that I regret buying. I will be returning it for a full refund.

Weight watcher bathroom scale – Terrible terrible! I just went to return this and they said try another one might be a fault with this one. But same result, one minute you are over weight and next minute makes you happy with a false reading. I'm gong to return this and never going to recommend. I thing they are trying to clear the old and faulty stock that is why was on offer. Please please please don't by weight watcher scale.

No accuracy – The scales are perpetually inaccurate. They have a false precision too to cover up the fact their accuracy is awful - this mean if you weigh yourself minutes (even hours apart) it will automatically give you the same weight as long as your weight hasn't changed by much more than 1-2kg. For example: you can weigh yourself clothed and then achieve… Read more

the same weight by taking your clothes off (jeans, tshirt, running shoes, underwear).

I would never recommend these scales to anyone.

Rubbish! – I have tried 2 models of these scales - on both models the user settings would not save and kept reverting back to the default settings - absolute junk. Do not waste your time going to and from the store. I will be letting Harvey Norman know to stop stocking these to avoid further customer complaints.

Terrible – Inaccurate, would step on it way 55kg then step back on less then a minute later then would be 2kg light. Terrible I would not buy from weight watches again!

Useless – Same for me. I would step on it in the space of 2 minutes and the next reading would be 2 kg different from the first. Hardly useful! I'm taking it back today.

Inaccurate – Like most other reviews very disappointed. Different readings within 5 mins up to 2kg difference. These scales are going out in the next clean up.
