Stanley Sellers · Answer 1

If the scale reads a number less than ' 1 ', then the unit is most likely kg.

If the scale reads a number more than ' 1 ', then the unit is most likely grams.

Since you neglected to tell us the reading on the digital scale, I have to

base my speculation on my experience with cell phones.

Grams.

Hardly any cell phone weighs a kilogram. Grams would be the most accurate.
