Which carat scale?

Hello

I'm looking at mini Diamond scales.

Within this class of portable carat scales, I've seen two models: My Weigh "GemPro 150" Diamond Scale. And: American Weigh miniPro-30 Professional Portable Balance

Both are 200$ and with the same specs. 30g-0.001g.

Anyone familiar with these scale, I'll be happy to know which one to choose..? Or is there another model out there?

Thanks Orchid
Love and Light

Both are Chinese made cheap scales. If you are a gem dealer stick
with Tanita, Satorious, Ohaus etc.

The absolute best carat scale on the market is the Dendritics scale.
Unfortunately I'm not sure if they are still making them but if you
can find some old stock I would buy that in a flash. I own three of
them myself.

scale.

You are correct that was a great scale but sorry to say they are no
longer around.
