You need a true balance to really measure mass. When in balance, your unknown object's mass is compared to the known masses on the other side of the pivot.
A precision digital "balance" is really a scale and not a balance, since it has force sensors under the pan. However, these usually have an optional calibration mass. With the cal. mass you can actually remove the variation in gravity that occurs at different places on earth.

Either balance scales or you can weigh the mass and divide by the pull of gravity.

If I'm out side a lab with a scale, best options are a pot or bath tub, depending upon the size. Displacement is still the best all purpose option.

you may degree the mass of an merchandise by using acceleration. in case you evaluate the acceleration to that of an merchandise whose characteristics are general you receives your answer. you may also use a spring & degree how briskly something is going lower back to that's foundation.

A scale. Any type of scale will do unless you need accuracy.
