digital scales

Numeric weight display

Digital scales are weighing devices that display weight as a numerical readout rather than on a dial or balance beam.

They use electronic sensors to measure weight and show results on a screen: The digital scales in the bathroom showed I'd gained five pounds.

Kitchen, postal, and laboratory scales are now predominantly digital.
