Last Chance Archery HS2.  Been using it a couple of years with no glitches.  Original batteries still working.

I use an $8 luggage scale purchased off ebay.  Amazingly accurate per testing with some weights laying around.  Only problem is it doesn't store the highest weight- pretty much have to have someone to help you by either reading the scale or observing the draw length.

I use a cheap fleabay luggage scale as well.  I will try to attach a pic of the one I have.  I can scale a bow by myself.  I attach the strap around the bowstring.  I have an arrow with inches marked and a tight fitting fender washer "stop" that I can slide to the draw length I want to measure.  Pull it back to the washer stop and after a few seconds of holding steady the scale will beep and record the weight.  Seems to be unbelievably accurate and weighs to decimal points (tenths of a pound).

I've got a digital SKU 5950 from 3 Rivers. About $25.
