Weight Watchers WW89T Weight Tracking and Body Analysis Scale Review

The Weight Watchers WW89T Weight Tracking and Body Analysis scale measures BMI, bone mass, body fat percentage and weight. It can store up to four different user profiles. However, the display is difficult for some users to read due to lack of contrast and quick cycling through the various readings.

The WW89T includes most of the features of the other Weight Watchers brand scales, namely that it will weigh the user then tell them their body fat percentage and how many pounds of fat that translates to, it will tell the user how much water is in their body, and it will also tell the user how much of their weight is bone mass. In addition to the basics, the scale also has a set of bars that form sort of a meter - they line up to help give the user a visual image as to where their body is physically and how close they are to reaching the goal for their body. The scale's features come together to make this a great product for anyone who is trying to diet/exercise and lose some weight.

Weight Watcher Scale by Conair WW89T Weight Tracking and Body Analysis Scale with Color Bar Display

As is almost always the case, there is a problem with the product. Despite the scales very large LCD screen, it seems that some people that purchase this product have a difficult time reading the display screen and getting the information the scale is trying to deliver. Rather then a typical black LCD display against a clear background, Conair chose to use a grey font on a grey background which makes it diffult to read unless you have the right light. Curiously enough, many of these reviewers go out of their way to mention that this would be a wonderful scale if it were not for the readability issues. Many of these users discuss how accurate the scale and its information seem to be and lament the fact that the scale is so difficult for them to use. I would suggest you check this out at a local retailer before buying online to make sure you can read it.

If the weight tracking scale weren't so difficult to read, the sticker price of 59.99 might not be so bad, but as it is that's a fairly high price to pay for an item that may not be readable for you. The scale can be bought online for about ten dollars cheaper. A comparable Weight Watchers scale can be bought for about half this price if you don't mind sacrificing the bit of bar graphing this scale does. That might not be a bad option to pursue.
