They serve a different purpose, which is day to day measurment If you want to have fun, check out the difference between first AM and bedtime measurements on the scales that use electrical impedence to estimate water content and thereby % fat.
Thanks for the response...
That's what I've heard... hydration can really throw things off, so need to mitigate differences when measuring to get accurated or at least consistent lonitudinal change in your readings...was just wondering if anyone had good or bad experience with specific models.
