Works really fine (the battery is working for more than 6 months already in standby). It is small and light, fitting fine in a small space in my purse. Measures in Kg and C too (which for me is important, as I am used to the Metric System - but it can be changed, quite easily to Pounds and F). So far, it saved me quite some funny situations (of stepping on a scale with my luggage, and balancing myself while holding it and trying to read the weigh), or some stress of not having scale and not knowing if I will be over the limits allowed. For those who travel a lot, I recommend it.
