I have a variety of electronic humidity monitors in every room in my house to assist with my humidifiers due to my sever excema. I know this is more geared toward monitoring a cigar humidor, but a humidity gauge is a humidity gauge. I bought this because although I'm tech geek I love analogue watches and anything else with dials and gauge meters. Just touching this gauge you feel like you are going to break it; glass or metal (or something) shavings always end up in my hand if I touch it. The metal surrounding the glass bezel is whatever the cheapest alloy there is, plus it's not that accurate. As I said, I have an electronic humidity monitor in every room and when put them all together they will almost universally read the same humidity level, maybe a percent deviation at most. I'm not sure what the gauge is "reading"...it is always +-10% at the least off, but it can be as much as 25%. At a distance it looks like a kinda cool antique, so I have it set on shelf with my vintage Transformers and Star Trek models from when I was a kid. It's more of an ornament than anything that actually works.

2.0 out of 5 stars Hygrometer review, December 28, 2008

When you look at the photo of the hygrometer on the website, it is very appealing, but the picture is deceiving. This hygrometer had no dimensions on which to base it's size. It is only 1" in diameter, which is very small. I had hoped it to be at least 6" so it was very upsetting when I got it. It was a gift for someone and I was quite embarrassed to give it to the person.

Ordered two of these at separate times. The first I tried to calibrate using the wet cloth then salt test and it was about 5% of. Reading online articles about how to adjust by using a tiny screwdriver, I tried it and low and behold mine was not adjustable. So after extremely messing that one up, I ordered a second one. It arrived along with a few other things I ordered and it was shattered during shipping. Contacted the seller and they were fantastic about getting me a free replacement. After calibrating that one, its approx. 22% off. Since then I have learned my lesson about analog hygrometers, don't buy them unless you know it is a reputable brand. I found that Xikar's digital hygrometer is by far the best. Yes you pay quite a bit for one, but it pays for itself when you are trying to keep you cigar stash in excellent condition. I am currently using it in my humidor of 50 and its working fabulous.
