American Weigh Scales BT2 Series Digital Gram Scale for Accurate Pocket Weight Measurement

Zachary S.: I would not use this to dose bulk supplements. It bounces non stop it never stays at 0 tare. I'm very proficient with these tools. I know they are precision items and need to be handled more seculy than a baby to keep them functioning correctly. Even taking laboratory precautions, this thing has never been exact, as a milligram scale should be

Hannah Couch: Better than I imagined! Small and compact and accurate. Amazing for price. Just be sure to buy some weights to make sure it’s calibrated right.

Jason B.: WORKS OK I GUESS BUT IT NEEDS CALIBRATED MORE THAN I THINK IT REALLY NEEDS. THE OTHER ISSUE I HAVE IS IT WON'T WEIGH ANYTHING OVER 6oz AND THAT IS A HUGE DOWNFALL FOR ME

Beth A: I drink tea, lots and lots of tea, and I drink it high test, in cha day, gong fu strength. For that, I need to weigh my leaf in order to get the right proportion of tea to water. I don't know what happened to the other AWS pocket scale I had for tea on the go, but when I was trying to replace it, I found that scale unavailable, and got a "similar" scale in the other top brand. I had to return that because it was nowhere near as accurate as claimed, and when I'm preparing something as valuable as true ceremonial grade matcha, I really don't want to make an error, and spoil what should be a wonderful tea experience. When I looked again, I saw that this had become available, and understood that the company must have been just about to introduce this new model when I purchased before. I was happy to order it because it appeared to me that it has easier controls, and a much easier to read screen – and those have been borne out. Accuracy seems to be extremely good, even at very low weights. It's definitely an improved model, which I'm glad to have!

Thank you for reading my review. I hope you found it helpful.

Peter Henry: This is a good little pocket scale at a good price. I would not recommend this as a gemstone (carat) scale but it is good for metals and heavier items. The removable lid is a nice feature to use as a tray.

This does not come with a calibration weight. The unit is designed to use either a 100gram or 200gram weight for calibration. It calibrates itself as soon as there is a settled reading, so if you are using multiple weights to make up the full calibration load, they all need to be placed at once. There's no "sanity check." If you put a 50 gram weight on when it's expecting 100grams, it will calibrate that point to 100grams. It's easiest to just buy a 100gram or 200gram weight. There's no storage provision for a calibration weight, but the scale seems to hold calibration acceptably in transport.

Build quality is OK. With my unit, the case seems very slightly warped and does not settle firmly on a flat space. The adhesive on the rubber feet is horrible and they tend to pop off very easily, especially when pulling it out of the carrying pouch. I'll probably work on the levelling and put a bit better adhesive on the feet to make it more robust. The display is very...
