Some things are just better without electronics involved, and my bathroom scale is one of them.

Consider this: To weigh yourself with a typical digital scale:

1. Step on the scale (to turn it on).
2. Step off of the scale (and wait for calibration to complete).
3. Step back on the scale and wait a few more seconds for it to find your weight. Some are finicky and will fail if you shift your weight, forcing you to start over.

However, to weigh yourself with a mechanical scale like this one:

1. Step on the scale.
2. Read the result.
3. Go about your day.

I chose this scale over a digital scale for the reasons outlined above. I chose it over other mechanical scales for the large window, large numbers, and the brand name.

I just wanted a simple scale that didn't require batteries and was accurate to within a pound or two. This Borg scale is sturdier-feeling and classier looking than your entry-level/basic scale. The layout of the scale makes it easy to stand in a spot that will give you an accurate and consistent measure. It has a solid feel, and I'm very happy with it. I was a little worried about the numbers being too small, but I had no trouble reading the smaller numbers.

I wasn't sure what the silver top of the scale would be made out of - it looks a little like stainless steel, but it is a nice thick matte-finish silver plastic (which to me is better, because it won't be cold like metal would be). The overall look of the scale is great. It will look classy with any decor.

In sum - With its nice size, consistent measurements, modern but classic look, and smooth-rolling, sturdy dial, I actually enjoy standing on this scale.

These scales arrived in great condition and on time. I was a little disappointed that the display was not a little larger since my eyes are beginning to have difficulty reading small print.
