High Precision (Readability): This is the most important factor. It tells you the smallest increment the scale can measure. Common Precision: $0.01\text{g}$ (measures to one-hundredth of a gram) Ultra Precision (Milligram Scale): $0.001\text{g}$ (measures to one-thousandth of a gram), ideal for highly sensitive items like medicine or powders. Maximum Capacity: The heaviest item the scale can handle. Common Capacities: $100\text{g}$, $200\text{g}$, $500\text{g}$, or $1000\text{g}$ (1kg). Note: As capacity increases, precision often decreases. A $500\text{g}/0.01\text{g}$ is a great balance. pocket scale
