Number or grams display keeps changing value moment to moment. Never did this before and I've had it for many years.

The Weight Watchers Electronic Food Scale display changes values moment to moment because it updates the weight of the food placed on the platform. If food is added or removed, the scale recalculates the weight and, if applicable, the PointsPlus™ value. Additionally, when building a recipe, the scale updates as new ingredients are added.

The Weight Watchers Electronic Food Scale displays "overload" when the items placed on the platform exceed the maximum weight limit of 3 kg (6 lbs., 9.8 oz). Overloading can damage the scale and is not covered by the warranty.
