My WW body fat scale has gone bonkers and I didn't like it very much anyway. If two people used it that weighed within a couple of pounds of each other used it consecutively it would just give the same reading to the second user, unless it was tricked by the second user getting on it with a twenty pound weight, resetting it...oy vey!

The sliding weight scale is pretty good, I own one, I bought it for around $200, maybe 15 years ago.

It is nice because you can easily calibrate it so when the sliders are on zero the pointer is level and in the middle of the limits.

Here's a public domain photo of an old one:
