Fast respond thermometer, very accurate reading! But care must be taken to handle these glass thermometers they are fragile and could brake from just a 3 feet drop!

The thermometer came without any instructions on how to use it to achieve its rated accuracy. Also, it didn't have any kind of a calibration document, so I have no way of knowing how accurate it really is. It reads both Fahrenheit and Centigrade, which is a plus, and it seems to be very sensitive, but without really knowing how to properly use it, I can't rate it much higher.
Note that I did search the internet as well, looking for some clues. There was no manufacturer's web site that was nay help.
I bought this RazR V3 to replace tthe other Razr V3 I lost. It is pretty much the same except for reverse placement of controls unlike the US version. While it wasn't difficult to learn the keyboard is perfect, not hard to use Bonus is a microSDHC slot for expanded memory. It is probably of more recent production run in Singapore. I also like the charging cable that connects to a USB wall charger. It is long enough to charge with a car charger.

I have one of these, bought in a photographic shop about 40 years ago, which I have used to calibrate many digital thermometers over the years. Feeling I have had my money's worth out of it, and seeing the exact same thing available here, I decided that it would be interesting to compare two. The new one reads lower than the old one by about 0.4C to 0.5C (tested at 20, 37 and 50C), which, if we assume one to be high and the other low, is outside the maximum expected difference of 0.28C. While the old one came in packaging that states the accuracy as +-0.14C, the new one does not, casting doubt on the meaning of 'certified' (shouldn't it come with a certificate?) The specification does not say at what temperature the specified accuracy applies - can we assume it applies over the entire range? Resolution is not the same as accuracy of course - the fact that you can read a thermometer to 0.1C says nothing about whether it reads correctly.
Measuring temperature to a tenth of a degree is problematic, and despite the above reservations, these thermometers remain about the best reference easily available. I recently bought two digital medical thermometers on Amazon, only to find that they gave different reading from each other and from my 'old faithful' digital that I have relied on for many years. These, like most digital thermometers, come with no specification of accuracy. The TTC 'Body Basal Thermometer' has high resolution with readings to a hundredth of a degree, but reads -0.6 at 37C compared to my old Paterson, and -0.3 compared to the new Paterson; not really good enough even for basic temperature checks, though for the intended purpose of fertility testing it is fine as only relative readings matter. It settles in about a minute. The 'Best' Digital Medical Thermometer, is much quicker to use, settling in about ten seconds, but reads -0.3 at 37C compared to my old Paterson, or correct according to the new Paterson. My 'Old faithful' digital, reads -0.4 compared to the old, and -0.1 relative to the new Paterson. What to conclude?! I really need a better reference, and also an accuracy specification at 37C. Basal body temperature is important for anyone suspected of sub-clinical hypothyroidism, but it turns out that while my typical body temperature of 36.3 might well be on the low side, I still have no way of truly knowing, and I wonder whether anyone else has!
I compare these thermometers by immersion in a washing-up bowl of warm water, with two thermometers close together, observing as it slowly cools while gently stirring (it cools quite slowly and needs very little stirring to ensure no temperature gradient. I recently discovered that a recognised reference for calibrating is the melting point of Gallium, and there is a good webpage on how to do this. Gallium is readily available online for 10 or 20 pounds, though I have not gone this far in my investigation. I have however contacted Paterson asking for their opinion regarding the discrepancy, and await a reply.
