Re: digital temp measurements
Yeah I had a similar problem with two digital hygrometers.
I bought cheap ones. I think with digital you get what you pay for.

I had two digital accurites in one of tubs this weekend, checking temps and humidity before putting my snake in there. I started with one, but I felt it was reading low on my temps so I put another in beside it. One read 72 degrees, the other read 77 degrees, both showed about 70% humidity. I replaced the batteries in both of them (out of curiousity's sake) and then one read 77 and the other read 76 degreees. It seems odd to me that a low battery would through the temp reading off, and maybe this was just a random one-off issue, but something that makes me wonder....

I reckon I must be the luckiest sumbuck on the form. My analogs are dead on.
I have one set over 13 years old and three sets at 3 yrs. All el cheapo Zoo-Med types bought at Petsmart.
I've heard countless dissing of analog gauges here. While I don't use them anymore them per se, it's always interesting to compare them to the digital gauges in the tank and see that both types have exactly the same readings - both temperature and humidity!
I think the problems many folks are having stem from the analogs getting submerged or contaminated from chemicals during aggressive cage cleaning.
I've kept my mouth shut for a few years. Figured that I ought to be honest here and swim against the tide.
The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

Data is Data. I appreciate hearing others findings even if, and sometimes especially if, it bucks the trend. Don't look now but here come the villagers with torches and pitch forks. Gotta Go! Thanks for sharing.

The reason most people talk smack about analog gauges is because 98% of the time they're either horribly off, in the wrong spot or never been calibrated. I have an analog gauge for my humidor but even that was off before I salt tested it and made the proper adjustments. I also have a digital gauge to make sure that it's correct.
Digital gauges in general are an easier alternative for newer members and that's why I personally suggest them over analog ones.
Now about that pitch fork... 🔥🔥🔥

Re: digital temp measurements
I've had two Accurites, the first one stopped working due to being thrown in the water bowl (the snake did it, not me!) and I'm using my second one right now. Both seem(ed) fairly accurate, although honestly, I never checked it with the salt test. I guess I should go check now, heh!

Re: digital temp measurements
I like analog. I even use an analog scale which is definitely going against the trend.
