After a ton of research I got an AccuCheck scale (~$30 on Amazon) which I'm happy with, and at least avoids most of the problems with modern digital scales. Clean minimalist look. Takes 3 AAA batteries.

It claims 0.1 lb accuracy, and seems pretty repeatable, but I haven't tested it for accuracy. These digital scales have multiple sensors (this one has 4), so it makes sense that individual sensors may give different readings as you shift your weight around - not sure if there's an exact science to combining the 4 readings into the single one that is displayed.
- nuancebydefault 3y agoLuckily the exact science is an adding operation, ifi the sensors behave in a linear way, that is.
- numpad0 3y ago0.1lb is ~0.5kg so same precision as parent. 0.1kg is 0.22lb, or literally glass half full of water, or slightly less than two Medium eggs, or 2/3 an empty glass itself, or 2/3 an iPhone, etc. 0.1lb/0.5kg/500g is about 16 fluid ounce in water, so it's probably a good balance point.
- dhosek 3y agoYour math is off. 0.1lb is ~0.05kg. 0.5kg is ~1.1lb. 0.1kg is the weight of 100ml of water, which is about 3.3oz
