What is the resolution (accuracy) of this scale?

I would say with in 1 percent , I have used it in counter top angle about 6 time and it works super . nice product at a great price .

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.

Don't own it, but the product dimensions, a Wikipedia search for the real thing, and my calculator suggests that it's 1:38, which is a common enough scale to be believable.

No, if you compare to a microscope this is maybe 10x or so. I normally use a scope that goes up to 50x so I am comparing the resolution, this is nowhere near the resolution of a 50x microscope.

There are lots of things that can effect a scales accuracy. Ie: carpet, uneven tile, leaning one way or another. To use mine I have to move it out from the wall place it on even tile,(challenging because my bathroom has small tiles) stand up straight, and not tough anything (like the wall for balance).

No does not require calibration. I compared with another scale and it was accurate.

I only have my doctor's scale to compare it to and I find it off by .1. Gave this as a gift and my friend's tell me it is exact.

Not sure, bought this scale and it was broken, they wanted me to send it back to fix at my cost. My opinion, do not buy this. Check Ali Baba they have a scale that is cheaper that is equivalent.

Seems to be very accurate and consistent. It measures in the tenths of a pound, though, and will take a few seconds to "settle" on a number, very sensitive to any movement while standing on it. We use it at our TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) meetings, and so far have not had anyone "blame the scale".. :)

Sorry, I can't give good opinion on this particular scale as mine arrived defective and I returned it. I have an older scale with tempered glass and have had no problems with it however it is glass so if you are knocking things about you might have to get an old fashioned metal scale.

Not sure, but let me tell you about my experience with this Chinese junk. We bought this thinking it was a solid scale like you'd see in a doctor's office. However, it failed within a year. The dial doesn't move much and is not accurate (by over 30lbs). Simply broke. And I only weigh 176lbs.

I tested the scale with 1 sheet of 8.5x11 of paper. It did not show any measurement. With two sheets it read .006kg and .2oz, with three sheets .0010kg and .3 oz, hope that helps. The scale will calibrate and zero itself every time you turn it on. I'm happy with my purchase. I measure letters and packages on it.

The one that I received was very inaccurate and never consistent. I would not recommend this scale.

I have no idea, I would suggest contacting the manufacturer or googling the words, "is a digital scale affected altitude" I can tell you its very accurate. Thats why I went on a diet and just lost 10 pounds! My old scale weighed me almost 5 pounds lighter than I was.. so if it is affected, it would still be accurate and it would be relevant to each time you weigh. Good luck!!

I don't know but the scale works perfectly in all the applications I use it for.

I've never tried it, but have you checked with the USPS to see if they have any calibration weights on site? I'm sure their scales, like all scales, have to be calibrated regularly. You could take it to them and see what they say. I live in a rural area and the local branch is never very busy, so I'm sure they would help me. A busier location may not be as helpful.

I found that the scale was not entirely accurate. I do think that it has to do with the fact that my foot is bigger than the platform of the scale. However, you can work with it, and if you are using it for travel, it will at least give you an idea of where you stand. If you want an accurate scale, get something that is bigger.
