Analog scales are certainly easier to operate, and they’re also considered more durable since the sensors in digital scales can wear out over time. However, digital scales provide so many more features. For starters, the digital readout is easier to read. It also eliminates guesswork and provides more accuracy (for example, 137.8 pounds vs. 137 or 138 pounds). Digital scales can also provide other measurements, such as body mass index, bone mass, and body water. They’re also compatible with fitness apps. In addition, they can track different users separately.
