I've never tried mine adding weight to it, but I would venture to think it will measure as you add weight, cause when I weigh fish, it weighs them very quickly, and If I add a little pressure to the fish it will show the increase...hope this helps.

Hi, yes these show increases of 1 ounce at a time so you can see the exact weight at all times.

The one I have shows the weight increasing and decreasing. I don't think it has a hold function.

It does, in that if you place a container on it and press to zero the scale, then put in the container what you are weighing,and press the activating button again you will get the weight of what you added.

The scale is usually consistent if you keep the scale in the same spot and weigh yourself each day at the same time. Unfortunately, after a few weeks of use the scale was off by about 7 pounds. Even after putting it to zero, it was still saying I was 7 pounds less than I was. My doctor's digital scale agreed with my other digital scale. Not a good thing .

I have no way to verify accuracy since I don't have nist traceable standard weights. Precision seems OK. I have noticed that the scale sometimes doesn't want to zero. I'll turn it on and it moves away from zero (I have seen it go higher and lower). When it does this the zero may wander as much as 10 lbs. Eventually the scale stabilizes. I have not contacted the mfg. I find this annoying but am willing to live with it since it rarely happens.

The scale as far as I can evaluate does not. The scale has some other measuring features but not that. Also I find that when I use the scalefor a 1g measure, sometimes the scale shows 0 but when I pull romaine off the scale reads -1g......go figure. A rare glitch for my purchase?The strange thing is that I experienced that -1g effect with the previous scale I had from amazon, which this scale had replaced.

I have had this for a month or so and have a feeling it falls back on prior measurements (readings from a few seconds ago) - for example if you step on it again right after your first measurement, it seems to gravitate towards, and lock in to, the same exact reading it gave you a few seconds earlier.

My understanding of the product for accurate weights recommends the scale is stationary when taking a weight and also whatever you're weighing is not moving (Ex: fish). Anytime you are pulling and imparting more stress it will register it, but you would have to be looking at the scale to capture that information. I hope that helps.

The scale actually does factor in the weight of the handle according to where the handle is when you turn on the scale. For instance if the handle is clipped in when you turn it on it will read zero. In the same way if you would unclip and hang on to the handle, then turn it on, and place the handle back down on top of the scale, it will now read 1 pound.This is why the readings will be different if you weigh yourself first holding the handle then weigh yourself again just stepping on the scale it will show you a difference of 1 lb.

This scale does not do oucnes until it's over a pound. I returned mine due to that fact because I needed the scale to be more for oucnes than just pounds.

Strangely the packaging reads "Holds 3 kg 7.5 lb" but 3 kilograms equals roughly 6.6 pounds. But I find both of those weights to be conservative. We moved into our current house in 2006, shortly thereafter I put four of these up in the garage and have hung multiple things on each, some more than ten pounds most closer to eight pounds--we've never had one fail yet. Be sure to follow the directions and clean the surface and the hook with rubbing alcohol before attaching, apply pressure for at least 30 seconds and wait at least one hour before using. People that don't follow the directions are very likely to experience very premature product failure. Strangely the packaging reads "Holds 3 kg 7.5 lb" but 3 kilograms equals roughly 6.6 pounds.

you need to balance it, by pressing long on the right buttonthe reason it is this way is because it allows you to put a container on it and balance it to 0 - it will measure what you put in the container without the weight of the container...

No, but you can just press the button again and it will reweigh it. It stays on for about 15 seconds. If the weight is changing (if you are pouring the water onto the scale), yes, it will stay on. I was using it for candles and was adding and subtracting wax for about 30 seconds and it stayed on the whole time as the weight was changing. It will only stay static for about 15 seconds. I don't remember the exact amount of time, but it was not very long. It's a nice little machine. I would recommend it. I hope that answers your question.

I keep pressing the button underneath, and I have no idea why one method of measuring weight comes up and not another. However, I can use any of them easily, so it's not a problem to me. I suggest you contact the company and perhaps the mystery of why you can only get that one will be solved. Aside from the fact that I don't control the weight indicator, I love this scale. I can easily pack it in and I weigh my food on the plate I'm going to use eating. It's really ingenious. I enjoy it.

The scale is automatically calibrated to zero when the scale is turned on as long as it is on a flat level surface with nothing on the scale. If you are weighing items over and over again and somehow with nothing on it, it does not show zero, then you can hit the "tare" button and it will re-zero itself out.

Calibrate, meaning to get it back to 0? I put the item I want to hold the food such as a paper plate or a bowl/cup on the scale, push the "tare" button and it will reset to zero. Then I add the item/food I want to measure the weight of.

Thats normal, when I got mine it was very cold and it also said that as well, I just let it sit for a minute or so and then the zeros popped up automatically. Hopefully it adjusts, and when it does, crumble up a $1 bill and put it on the scale, it should weight exactly 1gram. Thats when you know your scale is precise

It can measure accurately. However, the displayed number can disappear in the middle of weighing. The display often goes "blank", so you have to re do the weighing. If you weigh more than one item and try to add another, you will lose count if the display goes blank. If you only weigh one item, you can just reweigh that particular item. I hope this helps.
