dial hydrometer recs?

Can anybody recommend a reliable dial hydrometer?
I'd like to buy a bunch and stick them in individual tubs.
I have 3 accurites that are making rounds in all of my tubs to maintain humidity. I'd rather not buy a bunch more. (I have a temp gun, so the accurites are used purely for humidity readings)

You need to get one that can be calibrated and has a metal back (not paper like pet store ones)

This is the cheapest one that I have found, I don't know how good it is...

Yeah. I don't trust the pet store kinds at all.
And funny enough, I used to have the one you linked in my violin case. LOLOL. Hydrometers for musical instruments are really good. Heat and humidity can change the sound of a violin by warping and stretching/loosening the strings. Maybe I'll buy some of those if there aren't any more recommendations.

I figured that they would be, I played cello for a few years before I realized that woodwind instruments and conducting was what I was good at lol.

I'm using a Xikar digital, calibratable humidor hygrometer in one of my cages. It also reads ambient temperature. It cost me $25 at a cigar shop, and I'm sure you can get different and cheaper ones online at places like Amazon.
