How does this scale compare with American Weigh Scale GPR-20 Digital MilliGram Scale, 20 by 0.001G ? by

Most all scales of this size are the same in their basic features. It really depends on what you are weighing. I use mine to weigh out gold that I have prospected and it gets right most all the time.

The scale will weigh oz. and grams, but I don't see how it will weigh fractions of a gram..

It scales in one tenth oz but also in whole grams. At 28 grams to the oz the conversion shouldn't be difficult. I often use the gram scale

I have found it to be quite sensitive to minute changes but I don't use calibration weights. The smallest units are 0.05 (1/20th) ounce and 1 gram (30 grams ≈ 1oz). Considering that 1/8th tsp is roughly 1.125 grams, you have to decide if that's sensitive enough for your needs.

I routinely measure 0.04 grams, works for me but I have no way to compare. The calibration seems right on.

Hi, I had shipped the scale back the same day it arrived 'cause the digital display was not working properly (the lines were incomplete and so I couldn't make out the numbers). I don't recall if it had both grams and ounces. I purchased a Kamenstein brand, model #5105597, which is very sturdy and can weigh up to 11 lbs / 5Kg and love it.

It measures in either tenths or hundredths of ounces. Sorry I don't know which, but it is a decimal amount, because I use the grams. It seems to be accurate as far as I can tell, but a tiny bit slow on the read-out. If you need speed as well as accuracy, this isn't the one, but give it a second or two and read-out catches up. Good scale for the $$.

I just checked mine and on the ounce display the item I was weighing showed 0 pounds 2 1/4 ounces. It is a great scale and I too use it everyday. Hope this helps.

The scale as far as I can evaluate does not. The scale has some other measuring features but not that. Also I find that when I use the scalefor a 1g measure, sometimes the scale shows 0 but when I pull romaine off the scale reads -1g......go figure. A rare glitch for my purchase?The strange thing is that I experienced that -1g effect with the previous scale I had from amazon, which this scale had replaced.

I only use the scale on the metric base. But I checked with an item of 15 gramms (which ist equivalant to 1/2 oz) and the weight was correct.

The smallest unit is 1g for this scale. So it can not measure the item less than 1 gram.

Grains, I haven't used the scale once. A Frankford arsenal digital scale took its place. Much easier and faster

Buy one of the new electronic scales. Less meshing around and probably more accurate and take up less space. Pounds and inches.

The accuracy of this scale is 1 g so it will automatically round off to the nearest gram. Therefore it will not accurately measure/recognize the difference between 1.8 and 2.2 g. If you need accuracy to +/- 0.1 g you need a different scale. However for cooking purposes 1g accuracy is all you need.

I dont know about the other scale but i have this one and ot works great at a very reasonable price. It convenient, its small enough to fit in your perfectly and it does the job.

Accuracy aligns well with another scale I bought from China for only $3.20, so I use the cheaper scale now.It is only called "Portable Electronic Scale" & is 3.25x2 inches & has a dark blue case. A friend also uses it in his bike shop. Works fine.Units of read out on the cheaper one are lbs., ozs., kg., & "JIN" ? It weighs to 88 lbs (40 kilograms) I guess for the luggage limit. It amazes me how many cheap things I buy from China directly that are of quality and work great. Shipping is always included (yes at $3.20!) and usually takes about 10 days, maybe 2 weeks.

Honestly, you will want a scale that will measure to the .001, and a scale such as this would be doing you a disservice for that amount of accuracy. I would check in to a higher end scale, not a pocket scale like this one.
