Scale recommendations for lbs

Just what the title says. I’m tired of weighing larger quantities an oz or two at a time on my pocket digital scale.
Looking for something that can handle 1/2 lb minimum but preferably around 1 lb at a time. No need to weigh more than a lb though

looking for accuracy so it must read at least grams to points. Ie) 3.2g 3.24g would be better but I understand most larger scales just go to one point

Absolutely must come with the ability to calibrate. I see all sorts of kitchen scales on Amazon that fit what I’m looking for but none mention being able to calibrate. The scales that come with bowls to dump the weed in are a plus but not necessary as how hard is it to find a bowl really??

Thanks for your help.

Precision and accuracy are two different things. Finding a scale that is that accurate to that precsion over that range simply isn't going to be cheap. If you want it adjustable I assume you have something to calibrate it with? If you have an accurate one pound weight just buy a cheap scale and note the difference and adjust accordingly. Otherwise, pay the $800.

most kitchen scales are accurate ime i got some precise weights at 5gr 10gr 25gr 50gr and so on so i weigh them first to get the correct reading and put my weed on top of that and then substract 50grs at the end :)
works even with the cheapest kitchen scales

Speaking of scales I didn’t find out weed pounds were less than real pounds till I started growing. Mf told me “bro you gave me an extra 1/4” like nah a lbs 454g I gave you maybe an extra gram.

“nah it’s 448 bro 16 x28”

me: oh ok(seething internally: why are all my friends complete fucking morons)

I bought one of these three years ago. It's accurate and still going strong. It also doesn't have an auto-off, which I absolutely hate. Mine was only $60 back then though. I'd prefer one with a bigger pad, but it will hold pretty much any container to weigh in.

You sold your boy an lb and weighed it down to where you "maybe" given him an extra gram? What a jerk.

Why do you need such an accurate scale? I mean if you are weighing 100+ grams it just seems silly. One gram is only 0.2% of a pound.

The industrial scales have to be the best for this purpose. They are the most precise ones, and they are the best ones overall. However, the prices for most of these are exaggerated. That's why I would recommend you to keep looking for some other variants. I actually have a great smart scale that works perfectly, even though I bought it a couple of years ago. It's basically the perfect scale for all of my and your requirments. The price for this one is also pretty adequate and the quality of this product is also fine.
