Alot of the members including me seem to have these, Thier decent 

Also buy some calibration weights too the Triton allows you to calibrate 

[Spyder]

These are £15 with its own calibration weight. Unless you need precision to 100th of a gram, these are good up to 200g. The higher the weigh on these tiny scales, the less accurate they will be.  Under £20 there is not much in it. Keep away from under £10.

Any good calibration weights you would recommend? I've come across some weights that consistently weight 101% across several different scales...

 

Re OP's query, if you'd like a precision scale (and have the budget) try one of those laboratory balances like this

Apparently you'll have to keep it in the same position and perfectly level. Away from magnetic field, too. That's what the scientists say. There's also this acrylic shield that prevents airflow disrupting the reading.

Not really re weights not to sure how different expensive or cheap ones are 

[Bogart]

Nothing wrong with cheap Amazon ones, mine cost about £5 and confirmed by a jeweller to be bang on.

cheers mate bought these from amazon but didn't read info right. School boy error only go up to 50g max (never read the description. pure dafty.

so looks like try again after new year for ones with big range
