Bathroom scales?

After some new scales. Don't need anything fancy but MUST be precise (in the engineering sense!). Accuracy would be good but precision is a higher factor in the buying decision. Would rather an analogue dial type as well. Oh, and don't want to spend a fortune as ever .....

I've searched and not found any (obvious) reviews comparing different makes so wondered if the collective wisdom of SN (an oxymoron ... ?

) could help me out ....

I can do you some for 2 grand, 0.1% accurate, and you get four if you want to weigh yourself in different rooms

Just get a set and weigh yourself, at least they will be consistent, just ordered some off Amazon for 16 quid.

So what did you get? And 'consistency' is the thing. Loads will give you different weights even if you weigh yourself a few seconds later. Precision is what I want.
