ThermoWorks' Gravitas scale has a detachable display and a 20-minute memory - Engadget

Gravitas is ThermoWorks’ first scale, built for precise kitchen measurements with certified calibration and rigorous testing. It features a fully wireless, removable, backlit display that can be placed conveniently, including large digits, 180-degree auto rotation, and integrated magnets. Wireless connectivity uses a 2.4GHz RF link, avoiding Bluetooth or Wi‑Fi pairing. The scale stores the last measurement for up to 15 minutes, with standby after five minutes of inactivity and a 20-minute memory capability. Battery life is rated at 300 hours for the base on four AA batteries and 350 hours for the display on two AAs. The setup is IP66 rated, and the measuring plate is removable and hand-washable. It measures to the tenth of a gram and the thousandth of an ounce, with NIST-traceable calibration and accuracy within 0.7 grams, supporting up to 11 pounds (5kg). Pre-orders start at $119 in multiple colors.

"The main feature of the Gravitas is a fully wireless, removable display so things like large bowls don't block your measurements. The backlit display can be easily pulled off the base and placed in a more convenient spot. What's more, its large digits, 180-degree auto rotation and integrated magnets give you even more options for placement. A 2.4GHz RF connection provides the wireless connectivity, which means you don't have to worry about Bluetooth or Wi-Fi pairing."

"Another standout aspect of the Gravitas is its 20-minute memory. The scale will go into standby mode after five minutes of inactivity, but don't be concerned about losing your last measurement. In this mode, the scale can remember the last reading for up to 15 minutes. Long battery life is also on the spec sheet: The Gravitas base unit can last 300 hours on its four AA batteries, and the display can run up to 350 hours on two AAs."

"In terms of performance, the Gravitas can measure to the tenth of a gram and to the thousandth of an ounce. NIST-traceable certified calibration backs ThermoWorks' promise that the scale is accurate to within 0.7 grams. And as far was a weight limit goes, you're fine to measure loads up to 11 pounds (5kg)."

"The entire setup is IP66 rated and the measuring plate can be removed and washed by hand. The Gravitas is available for pre-order now for $119 in charcoal, red, white, blue and yellow colors."
