American Weigh AMW-100 Silver Precision Digital Pocket Scale 1543 x 0.1 grain and 100 x 0.01 gram With 100 Gram Calibration Weight

American Weigh AMW-100 Silver Precision Digital Pocket Scale 1543 x 0.1 grain and 100 x 0.01 gram With 100 Gram Calibration Weight Review

Just got this scale, and it DOES include the 100g calibration weight, as described.

It came in a nice retail box, with batteries (Although they're cheap made in china batteries that I suspect will last a week at best) Full manual and documentation included. It's easy enough to use, only 3 buttons, and the weighing area is large, but the lid is not removable to use as a larger tray. The lid closes securely with a small push button release, so the lid won't open by accident.

After carefully calibrating the scale, it seems to fluctuate readings by about +/- 0.03g for heavier (50g) items, and 0.02g for lighter items. Even multiple calibrations doesn't help, you can't reproduce the same reading even if you remove the item for a second and put it right back. For the price though, 0.03g accuracy is very good for most people's needs. If you need more accurate than that, you'll pay exponentially more.

100g maximum is kind of low, but you get what you pay for.

I'd definitely buy it again at the price.
