    The second ones are the ones I've got - quarter-pound/100 g accuracy is good enough, and they hit it easily.

    I think they are the same just marketing to think it is a superior product for a specialized thing. I buy the cheap ones do same thing.

    I was looking at a few of these scales from China etailers, they seem to be around $3-$5 USD but wasn't sure how well they worked.

    they work very well!!!
    Go to your local gym get like a 20 pound weight or whatever and just check it. Mine work perfectly fine. My tennis boss bought a $200 calibrator and saw mine, tried it and told me to order him 4, we have been using them at WTA events for like 4 years now.
