In general, digital bathroom scales are more accurate than mechanical ones . But for the most accurate reading, any bathroom scale must be set up correctly and used consistently.
Which scale is more accurate digital or dial?
Digital scales
Digital scales accurately weighed test loads whereas dial-type scale weights differed significantly (p < 0.05). Imprecision of dial scales was significantly greater than that of digital scales at all weights (p < 0.05). Accuracy and precision did not vary by scale age.
