A scale is not a necessity when you have chins. It helps you know if your chin is healthy. A chin can lose an amazing amount of weight without showing it, due to their dense fur.
If you are breeding however, a scale is a MUST have. Babies should be weighed at least once a day to ensure they are gaining weight and so you know if mom has milk.
Ideally, after the first day or so, baby chins should gain, on average, two grams a day.
There are many scales on the market, at all different price levels.
Scales are a bit more costly, but are really good quality are:
Sunbeam Nursery Scale
Tanita Digital Scale
eX-10 Exacta Scale
Investing in a good, quality scale could save a lot of heartache and a chins life down the road.
