I tested my fox digi scales (latest version) at work with proper calibrated weights like they would use if you sent them off to be checked by the brfc if you caught a record fish and the were bang on to the ounce all the way up to 60lb, very impressed. Ive also got a set of rueben flyweights and they are pretty crap if im honest, they are miles out on accuracy and feel very cheap but the are so thats probably why.

If you have ever removed the back from Heaton Lightweights you would see why.
Chatty pressed out components and gears made with less precision than something out of a "Lucky Bag."

Yes very straight forward to use,...zero the scales by pushing the button ,little red light starts flashing,...
I believe them to be accurate, I use them for Perch mainly , have used them for carp but I don't always weigh carp much ,I'm not dismissive or anything,it's just the way I have gone,...catch ,admire,return...!

I prefer not to waff imo, if I can be bothered to weigh a fish.. I have fish in weigh sling zero scales weigh put fish back weigh sling again (they are 1/2lb) when wet. Deduct from original weight of fish and weigh sling.

A second head Kenwood Waymaster is also a good bet. Same company as Heaton, much cheaper but equally accurate.

Sorry to hijack but didn't want to start another scales thread.
Had anyone got the new Korda digital scales? If so any good?
