I wrote to the company to urge it to set its default to kilograms instead of pounds---just a letter to push the company in the right direction despite the anti-metric orientation it possesses when marketing its products in the U.S. It was easy to switch the stcale over to kilograms, but as I explained, I wanted the company to set it to kilograms right from the start.
Nice scale, by the way! It reads out much faster than my old one, and it has an LED readout, so you can weigh yourself in the dark (grin).
