scales for weighing

My cheap scale I got from Target just broke.
Is there any benefit in getting a scale from combatsports, ringside, etc. ?
I am not looking for anything super official or to test BMI. I just want a quality scale.

IDK about that, the ones with the balance that you have to calibrate like at the doctor always seem pretty accurate.

If you are just training and want to know what you way for your own sake, I would just get any scale and try to weigh yourself every morning after using the bathroom and before eating breakfast. You will establish a baseline and you will know that if you are 2 or 3 pounds lighter you are a little dehydrated.

If you actually need to weigh in for something, get a more expensive scale and make sure that you take it to a place that has an "official" scale so you can either adjust your scale to make it match or you could just know that your scale is a pound or something over the official scale.
