- Digital bathroom scales produce a numeric readout which displays on a small screen located on the front of the scale. Mechanical bathroom scales have a needle which adjusts itself to a person's weight once the scale has been stepped on.
- Mechanical bathroom scales generally have a fixed weight limit lower than that of digital scales, meaning that those exceeding a certain weight would not see an accurate depiction of their weight.
- Digital bathroom scales operate using a small lithium battery, while mechanical scales do not require anything to power them.
- Both digital and mechanical bathroom scales are available in virtually any color and design.
- Digital scales often feature added perks, such as body fat percentage readout and user memorization. Mechanical scales are used solely to display weight.
