This irritates me greatly. It's also a little tight. This would be a great digital thermometer if it were twice as big as it is now and had an auto off feature.
This is a fantastic product tool. Unfortunately, there is no backlighting on the compact zipper pull digital thermometer, making it difficult to read in the dark. However, with a small flash light, this is not an issue. It was intended to be worn on a coat jacket or in a vehicle's interior.br>It was very well designed, and the measurements were fairly accurate. Now it's time to hit the slopes again. Cheers!
No, it does not tell you what the lowest temperature was in the previous 24 hours.
Since I changed the battery once, it appears that the "O" ring in my unit has vanished. My rubber ring has held up well in the rain and cold, but I would keep it in the round slot. It will also make it easier to remove the cover when changing the battery.

This review is being written because they specifically requested that I "leave a positive review. " " I'm not a fan of that business practice; it appears to be dishonest. br>br>I chose this book over others available on Amazon because it appeared to be simple to read. I also don't have to worry about breaking it as much as I would with a liquid version because it's digital. br>br>In terms of precision, the jury is still out. It appears that adjusting to large temperature differences, such as indoor vs. outdoor, takes a long time (45 minutes or more). br>br>As I type this, I am sitting in my office. The temperature has been set at 72 degrees Fahrenheit. The device displays a number of 74. That, I suppose, is acceptable. br>br>If my mind changes, I'll let you know. br>br>I'd give it four stars, but I'm not happy that I was asked to write a positive review. Especially since it was a full-priced item.
It is something I purchased on my own. This isn't a paid advertisement. br>Before I received it, I enquired with the seller. br>Perfect for taking temperature readings that are close to the real thing. br>In February, I drove it to the world's largest lake. br>The seller has stated that it will work up to a maximum of - 30C - it did. br>During a week below zero, the battery did not die. br>Below Zero, the LCD was working. The dimmer gets lower as the temperature drops, but it works as expected - 25c (- 13f)br>Because the thermocouple is so sensitive, you must keep it out of direct sunlight and away from your cloth to get the most accurate reading. br>I've been mounting this thermostat on the tent's door (as shown in the photo). During the movements at night or on the sled's shadow side (see photo). It's about the size of a quarter in the United States. br>I strongly suggest this product. br>It is the best of its kind on Amazon for the price range.
I've been looking for an accurate, dependable, and light-weight solution for several years. To take on backpacking trips, bring a weight thermometer. I'm interested in seeing how my gear, particularly my sleeping gear, performs in different weather conditions. And as I've gotten older, I've become more of a gram-positive person. I'm going to fight back with my gear. This is, without a doubt, the best thermometer I've ever seen. I compared it to a known-good source of information. It was rarely more than 0 degrees with an accurate thermometer. Over a temperature range of 20 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit, there is a 2 degree Fahrenheit difference. It's not too heavy; It only weighs 11 ounces without the split ring. 7 g (0. The weight is 41 ounces. In addition, there is the off-season. It has a rubber O-ring on the on switch, which helps to extend battery life. to add a ring to the battery access cover to make it more water-resistant anti-resistance I haven't taken it backpacking yet, so I can't comment on how long it will last.
This item was delivered to me this morning. Two different thermometers say it's 15 degrees outside, but after a fifteen-minute walk outside, it's 33 degrees. I'd like it to be 33, but it's not. When the reading is so far off, this thermometer is useless. At 67 degrees Fahrenheit, it appears to be reading correctly, so perhaps it just doesn't like cold temperatures. On my morning walk at 10 degrees, I tried it again, and it read 32, which was still way off. This was a complete waste of money for me.
From freezing to the low 90s (low 30s C), this thermometer consistently reads one degree higher. That isn't a problem for me because it is linear and I don't use it for scientific purposes. br>Apart from that, it works flawlessly. I usually hang it from a loop on my pack and glance at it every now and then. It's very light, and I'm not sure how long the battery will last, but it's been going strong for the past nine months and shows no signs of giving up. Overall, I believe it is an excellent addition for those who are concerned about temperature while out and about.
Although I like it because of how simple it is, I found the readings to be a little inconsistent. I put it through its paces with three other thermometers in temperatures ranging from 27 to 70 degrees (F). The accuracy was usually within 1 to 3 degrees of the others, but there were a few times when there was a 4 or 5 degree difference. Although one could argue that the thermometers I was comparing were inaccurate, they were always within a 1 to 2 degree difference. br>I'd like to point out that I previously owned a Dakota carabiner digital watch, which I did not enjoy. Although the thermometer on this watch/therm combo was extremely accurate, the watch functions were impossible to set unless one had an engineering degree. The included written instructions were impossible to understand, and when I emailed the company for help, they sent me the same printed instructions I already had. The thermometer's accuracy was the only reason it stayed attached to my pack rather than being thrown away. All of the functions on the watch were ineffective. It was also difficult and inconvenient to access and replace the battery. I wish the current Zipogage of the Sun Company was more accurate.
This was purchased for a trip to Yellowstone National Park in the winter. The battery was dead and there was no insulating patch when it was unpacked. I spent $6 on batteries because I needed it right away. When I went outside from a hot environment, it took about 5 minutes for the temperature to stabilize. I had the impression that it registered higher when attached to my coat than when laid out on an outdoor surface, but I didn't test this thoroughly. I had hoped to get a quick read on the outside temperature so that I could adjust my clothing accordingly. It was so slow that it was completely useless in this situation.
It's simple to use this small thermometer. simple to understand; in addition to being precise I put it to the test with my home thermostat and a digital thermometer built into an alarm clock that I keep near my bed. I can't wait to test this out in the elements with the Sun Company Digital Zipogage, which nearly always matched the readings of the other devices. During camping trips, I am now confident that I will be able to get an accurate temperature reading inside my tent or hammock. One thing I would advise other users to keep in mind when using it is to avoid touching it directly while attempting a reading, as this will cause it to factor in the warmth of your hand in its calculations. It should be suspended from a caribiner or cordage so that it can read the ambient air without interference.
