In production for over 10 years, the Skymate has been a popular wind meter with professional and recreational users alike. Often used by wind sport enthusiasts, boaters, environment monitors, shooters, climbers, campers, and agriculture professionals, it's accurate and reliable. A handy, pocketknife-style case makes for easy portability, while also improving accuracy by placing the user's hands further from the wind impeller and temperature sensor. The unit is water-resistant, and its bright yellow case makes for easy retrieval if it ever goes in the drink.
Accuracy is the most crucial component of any weather meter, and the SM-18 is accurate to 3% with wind speeds. It can measure wind from 0.5 to 99 MPH, and captures current, average, and maximum wind speed over five-, ten-, or 13-second intervals, and additionally measures temperature and wind-chill in both Fahrenheit and Celsius.

This is a good product, convenient and accurate. It is a bit expensive, but typical for similar products. The screen tends to get scratched by the swivel holder cover.
The big complaint that I have is that it is not waterproof. Their rep. said it will float, and is water-resistant, but is not water proof, cannot go under water. A dubious distinction, since their web page says: ""water resistant to 3' ". Many of their sales sites say "waterproof". but it is not. the repair person made a fuzzy claim that it would float, and withstand rain, but not submersion. i reminded him of the specification on their site, and he basically disclaimed it.
I put it in a breast pocket of a life jacket, and after one spill, it was flooded & ruined.
Anyway, be warned!!

We have a Skymate Hand-Held Wind Meter on every one of our work trucks. We are required by the law to know the wind speed and air temperature at every job where we make a chemical application. This little Wind Meter does the job nicely. We have re-purchased them when they have been lost or when we have added vehicles.

This is a decent wind meter for the money. I bought it to get rough estimates on air temperatures and velocities coming out of AC registers. It would be absolutely perfect for my usage if it measured humidity too. The case protects it nicely while in my tool bag. Mine did arrive with dead batteries, so that's why I rated it as a 4.
