This scale didn't work from the moment I took it out of the box. I've tried everything possible to get it to calibrate correctly put it's all over the place and a complete mess. I've compared it side-by-side with other scales and the weight it displays for a quarter was wrong and wasn't even close to the weight provided from a different scale that displayed the correct weight for the same quarter weighed. I don't have anything positive to say about this scale, honestly. If a scale can't do its one job, provide the correct weight of an item, than what's the use of it?

This one really weighed my special herbs to the exact ounce. I gotta say it's small, portable, easy to put in your bag or purse. Bring it on the go, to make sure the spices you're buying are what they say they are. If you know what I mean. I have successfully used this to measure out little grams, half ounces and full ounces. Easy to use

If I could rate it zero I would. The scale is off and I've even tried changing the batteries tearing out the way and everything and it is under weighing anything I put on it buy over a gram. I was planning on using it to measure acrylic lens for my nail salon that I make in small batches for customers to a sure I'm getting the proper and saying recipe every time the scale isn't worth it. I could read it zero stars I would

Packaging: Comes in a nicely packaged box large enough to fit the product protected by bubble wrap and a manual. The product though, is shipped in a bubble wrap mailer. Arrived perfectly.

I use the gram scale to weigh postage, and I must say that it does the job very easily. The readout is clear and very responsive. There is little to no lag in the response time on the readout making for fast and easy process if you are looking to do multiple measures in a short amount of time. This scale comes with very easy instructions and even easier to actually use. You won't be finding yourself wondering how this gram scale works. It is quite intuitive! The labeling on the gram scale is clear, with good English, none of that garbled Chinese/English mixed instructions. If you are weighing postage, the only thing I would warn you about is that you are going to have to turn the letter askew in order to see the blue readout nicely. But for smaller items this gram scale is perfect in its compactness and ease of use. I really don't know what else to say other than if you need an affordable and compact measuring device, get this one. This one is easy to read and store wherever you need it. That could be anywhere of limited space where you can pack this into, a full backpack even. Heck, slip it into your pocket and you will forget its their. If you lay it in your hand length-wise, it will reach from your palm to the edge of your fingers. It uses three easy buttons. Nothing complicated. The number read-out is responsive and real time. The metal tray is a brushed metal finish and looks great. The blue back light is great in the glare of day and at night when it gets a little dark. It's a Digital pocket scale that can actually fit in your pocket, and has held up to constant use. I would recommend this product for the average and daily user.

The AWS scale was nearly calibrated right out of the box. Tested against 100 g it weighed either 100.1 or 100.2. Pretty accurate after being shipped. The required calibration weight is 500g which would likely resolve the small .1g disparity. Feels solid, hinge is great. Pocket sized without feeling too small to do the job. I'm completely satisfied with my purchase and I'm going back to AWS for a 0.01g version for even more accuracy.

Batteries included is always a plus, unknown brand, but that is to be expected.

I was looking for a scale to test 1 troy oz silver for 31.1g accuracy. Very pleased with the results.
