I bought this hygrometer after my digital one kept being a pain.
And after a week of checking calibration on it (salt test and putting side by side with a known good one), keeping an eye on it's accuracy and using it in my tower, I've come to a conclusion.
This is now my favorite hygrometer.
No messing with it, no fighting with calibration. I like it.

Those are great. I have the square and round both. And can be found fairly cheaply.

I also have that brand in both round and square, they are consistent. I also use Caliber 4R which is my favorite.
I would never use an analog again, they are not dependable. Even the 2 small boxes with an analog through the wood has a Caliber 4R inside.0 -
Well, if JD is gonna talk about Caliber Fours, then I'm gonna throw in a plug for AcuRite

During the past four years or so, all my other "cigar hygrometers" button-cell batteries have died, been replaced, and died again while these two cheapo hygrometers batteries have kept going. I don't recall ever changing the batteries. If I did, it was effortless, no re-calibrating. Uses standard pair of AA (or AAA). And they've always tested well when salt tested and also matched well side by side with all my others. And you can read 'em easy,......without having to squint at all.1 -
That right there is what I use, mine reads a consistent 5% low so I add 5 when I can easily read itA little dirt never hurt0
