No Problems, If you adjust the small screw on the left of scale, you will get a proper weight. took me about 20 minutes to get it set right.

Did not come with weight. Scale must be calibrated. Suggest amazon search 200g weight

We have weighed at home and then went directly to our gym and weighed on their balance scale. The weights "seem" to agree. We have done this several times with the same results.

I discovered after I had the same issue that I needed to press the scale quickly and let it "set". When you see the zero's on the display, you can then step on the scale and it will calibrate your weight. Hope this helps.

It's accurate enough for such a low priced scale. You can adjust it to make sure the needle is pointed to 0 lb, then when you get on it it will show you weight 50 lb.

There is no initial calibration needed and I don't find anything regarding instructions on how to calibrate it should there be the need to in the future. I am assuming that since it works as most digital scales do, measuring changes in electrical resistance distributed to load cells, calibration is performed at the factory and would need to be performed by the factory in the future if there was a need to do so. I have had other digital scales which operated the same way and lasted for many years. It measures the same as a mechanical scale I have so I believe it is accurate from the factory. The only way to tell for sure is to locate a standard and periodically check to ensure it is calibrated against that standard.

Yes. That is the correct weight. And when you step off, the correct weight is still showing.

The calibration weight may vary by the model of the scale. Mine is a Blade - 1KG. It uses a 500g calibration weight. Look in your owners manual. If yours specifies 500 and it's "asking" for 1000, it may be defective.

I don't think it captures peak weight, I use it for real-time readings. As far as calibrating, you leave it idle, and it "zeros out", then you put it in use.

No it doesn't need to be calibrated. I would say it's a guide. We had fun over Christmas testing everyone from people who drank nothing to a person that did a shot before testing. It seemed pretty accurate.

I never calibrated and just started using it. I took several packages to the post office and everything checked out perfectly. They explain how to calibrate it in the manual.

You can order calibration weight at AMAZON.com. They have various sizes of weight to choose from.

I found no calibration feature. You can contact the manufacturer and they will answer your question further.

Yes. This scale measures in Oz, Ozt (Troy Oz), Grams and Gr (Grains). It is very accurate and did not need any calibration out of the box.

it can not be calibrated. We are using it in medical office to weigh people in exam rooms rather than hallway scale.

It does not require calibration, but it sometimes under-weighs by .1 ounce. I bought a set of 1 oz and 2 oz weights and test it occasionally, especially when I get a reading that is exactly 1, 2, or 3 ounces.
