What Is a Digital Bathroom Scale?
A digital bathroom scale is a device that allows the user to determine his or her current weight by stepping on the scale. The user’s weight is displayed as a digital numerical readout; this differs from an analog bathroom scale, where a spinning dial displays the user’s weight. Many people make use of a digital bathroom scale to track their weight loss, and to set goals for themselves. A digital bathroom scale typically has the ability to display weight in pounds or kilograms, and may be switched with the touch of a button. A scale that displays weight only is the most basic and inexpensive type of bathroom scale. The numbers are typically displayed in a large, easy to read format, without needing to bend over. Some scales will continue to display the numbers for a few seconds after the user steps off the scale. Many digital bathroom scales have additional features, however.
