Mobile Weather Device Altimeter Barometer Compass Hygrometer Thermometer Pocket Handheld Keychain Clip Climbing Camping Outdoor (Orange)

Good for travelers

Setup and adjustment instructions very confusing, does not feel rugged at all, the screen is very shiny you got to position it just right to read because of glare especially outdoors.

I got this nifty device because I wanted to know how how humid it was getting in my basement, where I have my home office. It's within a degree and a percentage of humidity from another thermometer/hygrometer that I have in the house. Works great! The altimeter feature is a nice touch and it's within a foot of what the USGS say is the elevation of my house (82 feet above sea level) in Jersey City, which is right across the Hudson River from Manhattan. I haven't really played around with the compass feature on it. I'm sure it's fine. I wanted a pocket weather station and got a few bonus features thrown in. Very happy with this device.

Nice portable weather gizmo if you want instant on the spot weather information. Unfortunately, the barometer fluctuates more than the actual pressure. Maybe the machine is reacting to temperature in calculating pressure but it shouldn't! The temperature and humidity functions are very accurate but pressure is the most important component of weather prediction and trends so, this is somewhat distressing. But it's not wildly inaccurate so you can still get good use from the unit. The altitude function is pretty incomprehensible to me. I don't really know how it works. And I haven't been able to calibrate the compass function so I don't know how accurate that is. Overall, it is a functional unit for the cheap cost.

I was skeptical about the product after reading the negative reviews, but decided to give it a try. My unit came with the battery installed and running, but appears new. I spent about a day reading the manual and setting the unit up. Everything works as advertised. All readings are within spec.One thing about the compass: It is very sensitive to environment inference ( don't use the compass while you are driving! It will read error. ). Be prepared to re-calibrate the compass when you start your hike. I would bring a magnetic compass as a reference and back-up. I will do more field trials to ensure the reliability of the unit, but overall, this is a good buy.

Difficult to program and compass always shows error.

I love this it does all the thing I want when I go backpacking. I just wish it was a little more sturdy. But I would recommend it.

Complete weather portable station, you can carry on
