I need to weigh jewelry and small gemstones precisely — is 0.001g accuracy reliable enough for this use?
Yes, this scale reads to 0.001g accuracy with a 50g maximum capacity, making it suitable for weighing jewelry, gemstones, and small gold pieces. Calibrate using the included calibration weight before first use.
The scale gives slightly different readings each time — is this a defect?
A variance of up to ±0.003g is within the normal error range for milligram-level scales caused by air currents or surface vibration. Use the scale on a flat, stable, draft-free surface for consistent results.
Does this scale need batteries, and how long do they last with regular use?
This scale is battery-powered. The backlit LCD and high-precision sensor consume moderate power. An auto-off function helps preserve battery life during idle periods. Battery life varies with usage frequency.
Can I use this scale to weigh powder for reloading or medicine accurately?
Yes, this scale's 0.001g resolution is suitable for fine powder, medicine, and other small quantities. Always calibrate before use and weigh on a vibration-free surface away from air vents for accuracy.
The scale shows a reading before I place anything on it — how do I zero it correctly?
Use the tare function to reset the display to zero with the empty pan in place. If the reading drifts, recalibrate using the included calibration weight and ensure the scale is on a completely stable surface.
