Small and sturdy. Well made. I’d buy again
I bought several of these for Christmas gifts. Everyone liked them. They were all the same temperature as my house thermometer, so I feel that they are accurate. They seem made of sturdy plastic on the outside and hopefully they won’t break. The item is small so the temperature marks are a bit harder to see. If you wear readers you might have a hard time seeing the temperature. Wind chill chart is fun but I’m not sure how I’d measure the wind speed while I’m outside. Overall a great little thermometer and I would definitely buy them again.

What i expected except calibration is 10 degrees too high.
Mine reads 10 degrees warmer than displays of other outdoor temperature readings. At least an even 10 is easy to subtract to get a correct reading. The thermometer works it's just that the printed scale is positioned too low. Other than that it's what I wanted, a tiny thermometer with a fine print scale.

For a tiny, inexpensive thermometer, it's decent. Mine are quite accurate.
I bought two of these for kayaking and backpacking. I immediately checked their readings against a NIST calibrated laboratory thermometer and they were both off by less than 1 degree Fahrenheit. Part of that inaccuracy is probably due to the difficulty in reading a unit so small, but they will suit my outdoor needs just fine. Some things to consider: Some reviewers who have attached this to the zipper pull of their jackets and gone out in cold weather have complained of high readings. This is to be expected since your body gives off heat right through your jacket. Also, sun will warm the surface of your jacket significantly. You need to get it away from anything that might be warmer than the air. Also, since it is encased in plastic, it will not respond instantly to changes in temperature. Give it a minute or more to equilibrate.

Not so good.
Print microscopic, poorly assembled, impossible to read. Buy something better, not this.

Hard to read accurately, making them less useful
The plastic is curved in front of the glass capsule so reading it is difficult. The shape is odd so it is hard to mount, hold, or use effectively. The temperature is more accurate than many bimetal dial thermometers.

Great for a hiking daypack
Perfect for hanging off our backpack. It's too small to read exact temps, but we understood that prior to ordering - we're not interested in an exact temperature, just a general idea.

such a handy thing
Had one of these forever and a day ago on my favorite jacket, such a handy camp gadget. The Acrylic face shield can take a beating, but the back panel with the wind chill chart is just a snap in panel. Still it's a great zipper pull on basically any cold weather gear. And I wish I had picked this up a couple years ago when it was 100+°F every day for three months. Heat sneaks up on you just as bad as cold.

Mini Thermometer a must for outdoorsmen.
Outdoors survival especially in colder climates, requires more focus on changing temperatures. Always have a mini thermometer close at hand!

La verdad que es bonito o chulo para colgarlo en la creamallera de la chaqueta, pero ahí queda todo Los números - rangos de temperatura son minúsculos y aún teniendo buena vista cuesta de leer. Por otra parte la parte trasera con las referencias de temperatura - viento, los números son más pequeños aún, y es una "tablilla" plastificada encajada con la parte delantera, que claramente da signos de que no va a durar mucho. Ahórrate el dinero, es mi opinión.

I use this to monitor the temperature of my medication storage.

Be aware it is quite small, so if you want pinpoint accuracy you won't get it. But it is cheap, and works.

Is a tad expensive for what it is, however it’s very accurate and works well, not really worth £10 but you do get quality I guess
