excellent product

I run a gym program, where accurate weight is important and where the scale receives moderate to heavy use. There are many scales on the market, of course, and we have tried several electronic and dial step-on scales over the years. They are invariably fast and easy to use, but repeatability is not a strong suit on any of the machines we have tried. The step-ons are accurate to one or two percent, but that is not good enough for our programs. The Seca 700 is a very accurate and well-built scale and is not overly expensive, given its excellent performance. It was easy to assemble. We removed the height rod and attached it to a nearby wall, where it looks great and is very useful to us. We could not be happier with this scale.

The Sensible Seca Scale

The Seca 700 Beam Balance Scale provides the accuracy and repeatability needed for serious monitoring of gains and losses. Make sure you have your morning coffee after you're A.M weigh-in else you will record an additional 1/4 pound. It really is that accurate. Perfect for monitoring weight changes, well constructed to provide years of accurate readings for small and large folks alike.


Very Reliable

I've purchase this scale few months ago. Although I'm not basing my comparison based on my experience with other similar and comprable scales, I can attest that it's worth every dollar I spent and here's why:

1. Very accurate. No matter how many times you step on it, it will remain consistant. You can't get tha with floor scales.
2. Very easy to assemble. I took me 10 minutes to put it together. Although, they don't have instructions for the hight attachement.
3. The price @ $220 was reasonable. God knows I spent that on the last 3 floor scales.
4. I contacted the manufacturer to confirm the warranty based on the many conflicting reviews I read. I found out that the warranty is indeed 5 years. Call or e-mail them to make sure. I know I did.

Here are the draw backs:

1. The size is rather larger than I expected. Therefore, if you have a small bathroom, you'll need to take that into consideration.


Overall, I think it deserves a solid 4 stars.

Pounds instead of kilo's

Being a physician specialized in obesity the Seca works just great. The incorporated height rod is a must in calculating BMI. The only problem I have is that it works only with "pounds". The Amazon review said that the scale came in pounds AND kilo's, and that is exactly why I bought it, because BMI is in kilo's (per square meter). Well, the scale came in pounds.. Now I find myself converting pounds to kilo's every time I weigh one of my patients.


OK Scale with Reservations

The scale is attractive looking but has some drawbacks. First it is bigger than I anticipated with a very large footprint. A bit hard to fit in most bathrooms. The scale is easy to put together until the last step, when you are setting up the counterbalance. The instructions are all diagrams with nothing written, and they are extremely confusing during the final steps. The biggest complaint I have is the weighing process. The pointer bobs up and down for over 10 minutes before it finally stops, and everytime you adjust the weight the process starts over. And if you shift your feet on the scale, the pointer starts bobbing again. Doctors scales don't do this. It is nice that it measures in eighth lb increments.
