Seca 700 Physician's Balance Beam Scale with Height Rod

Love this scale! It was a cinch to assemble with pictorial instructions. Weight measurements were exact, to fractions of a pound and the price was great.

La báscula es de excelente calidad y el precio es muy bueno, lo único que hay que tomar muy en cuenta es que viene graduada en LIBRAS, si compran desde México no viene en kilogramos, por lo demás el envío llegó muy rápido y el producto es excelente

First let me say that when I got on this scale for the first time I was disappointed. I measured my weight and when I wanted to tweak it to the accurate setting I had to step off of the scale and get back on again. The long arm would move up and down but then get stuck at one position; even when I moved the weight a little. My brother said, "Give it a day or two to break in." He was right. In a couple of days this thing turned into an accuracy dream. You can step on the scale hard, soft, jump on (hyperbole) or anywhere in between and it will give you the same exact reading. If when you first get on and the measuring weights are a little off, you can tap them, or move them in hairline increments and it will affect the moving bar/gauge. Some may complain that the bar slowly, and I mean slowly swaying up and down in a gentle arc makes it difficult to measure your weight, but not so. You simply move the fine weight over until the sway bar swings the small same amount above the line and below the line.This is one super fine dead on accurate scale. My old spring scale would give me readings all over the place. Depending on how I stepped on the scale it would vary as much as 5 to 7 pounds. I got tired of that so I bought this SECA 700. The point I am getting to here and the title of this review is now I can see a direct correlation between what I eat on a given day and the immediate result in my weight. If I eat a donut and have pancakes for breakfast and my weight is up 1/2 pound the next day I can see that. If I cheat a little bit I can see a 1/8th or 1/4 pound difference. Yesterday I went back on my program, for example fresh squeezed orange juice, fruit including honeydew melon and pineapple, all that I want in the morning, and then a big salad for lunch with a skinless chicken breast with mustard and no bread. Then for dinner I usually have some steamed vegetables with a piece of broiled fish. At night time my snack is either more fruit, or a big bowl of hot air popper popcorn no salt or butter added. Anyhow, yesterday I did breakfast and lunch that way, but by the time I got home; after 9PM I decided it was too late to eat so I had zero calorie yogurt in a frozen fruit shake with 1/3 cup of nuts blended into almond/walnut milk and added cinnamon. I got up this morning and I was down a pound and a half. I didn't even go to the bathroom yet.So back to the scale. The reason why a scale this accurate is so important is that you are constantly faced with the truth. You can't say, like you do when you have a crappy scale, "Oh it doesn't matter if I eat that donut and that pie, because the last time I did that I stepped on the scale the next day and I was down a pound. WRONG, the scale lied to you. So without accurate data you cannot ascertain the correct diagnosis.Scale specifics: Assembling it is a breeze. Just follow the directions exactly. This thing is well built. The only thing that I think is a weak point is the two screws that hold the two big tubes together. They are sheet metal screws and not large ones. When I installed the first one it stripped out with very little effort, the second one went in fine. I realize that by going to the local home center I can get two stainless sheet metal screws that are slightly larger and created a new tight fitting screw hold. The other parts of the tube have welded machine thread nuts on them. The one thing I have to say is that the two tubes fit together so precisely that you could actually use it without any screws and it won't have any play in it; so I am getting critical here.This is built well enough that I expect it to last a lifetime. There isn't any spring to wear out or get sticky at certain weights etc. so it not only will last a long time, it will also maintain its accuracy. Overall highly recommended.

Solid, easy to assemble and accurate. No more getting a different weight depending on how you lean. Well worth the money. Recommended

El equipo llega bien protegido, es fácil de armar, estéticamente es muy bonita, me hubiera gustado que las unidades vinieran en el sistema métrico. Pero el precio es bastante competitivo.
