Digital Wind Speed Meter Anemometer,Handheld Heat Stress WBGT Meter Tracker Measures Wind Velocity/Wind Temperature/Humidity,Wind Gauge Wet-Bulb Globe Temperature Monitor for Industrial and Outdoor

It's inexpensive, the impeller is not balanced properly, and I don't think it has auto off.Measured against a Kestrel, it was off (eso wind speed ... see above), Rh was similar but only provides while numbers, not decimals. It would be good for trend measurement, but i wouldn't use it for absolute measurements.

I got this item because I needed an anenometer for flying. This does more than just provide wind speed.It provides information on humidity, wind speed and temperature. All important things needed for flying. Now this is not designed to be used for flying, but it is used as a way to read the local climate to avoid things like heat exhaustion. Something that is very common in the southern part of the U.S. especially during the summer. As for the flying portion we like to "Hike and fly" which is very strenuous physically and this device gives us a better of idea of if we should hike and fly or just fly.One other note I would like to add is that it is easy to operate and it provides information in different types of measurements with the press of a single button. It also has a button for max and min wind levels it detects.It reads the climate information and lights up in colors if the conditions are relatively safe, if we should be cautious or if a hike would be dangerous by showing colors associated with each level. I am not sure how accurate the devices is, but the fact there is a device that can be used is comforting to know. Especially if your kid is going to be outside participating in activities. This device would be a good idea for any counselor that is supervising kids outdoors to use. Too many stories in the news about kids collapsing or dying outside because they or the person in charge didn't take the proper precautions.I will continue to use this when getting ready to hike to avoid heat exhaustion or other heat related health issues, and it is handy for wind speed.

Bought this for the WBGT. It’s extremely slow in getting to the actual ambient temp. Not sure it ever gets to WGBT.When I compared the device to Perry Weather station, Zelus, Heatstroke and weather apps the WGBT appears to be closer to simple wet bulb.And that was after 30 mins. of being outside.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS: Comes in a box with a soft fabric case and instructions, two AAA  batteries and a small screw driver to open the case.  I have a pet peeve about having to use a tool to access a a battery compartment, especially tiny little non retained screws.It does look and feel cheap in the hand.  It is strange with the large sphere at the top.  I am not sure what sensors are in there as there are no orifices on it, I'm assuming it is for outdoors in the sunlight as it is black.USE: It works, it has a light, it's easy to see the display with the light on, not as easy as other meters I have at a comparable price point.  The temperature and humidity readings are consitent with other meters I have so I am going to assume this is reasonably accurate. My concern is that I have much better meters than this for the same price so I believe this overpriced.REVIEW PHILOSOPHY: I only review a product if it is something I am capable of critically evaluating through comparison, testing and use. This means I have experience of using similar items; or that I have equipment or tools that I can test it with; or that I have an upcoming need so I can actually use.  I am as selective about getting an item to review as I would be about purchasing that same item, so yes, I expect it to be a good product.  My reviews are NOT based on packaging or if it was delivered timely.

I'll admit, for my purposes this was more of a curiosity/novelty item I acquired as a Vine Voice reviewer - as opposed to any real need.My curiosity was probably piqued a few years ago when my HVAC system was in the beginning stages of failure, and a less than reputable repairman used a similar device to try and convince me that not enough air was flowing from the vents and I should upgrade to a newer, bigger system. I had no idea what the numbers he was showing on the gauge meant, but it sounded ominous.I eventually did upgrade my HVAC, but not through him...and now I know what the actual CFM airflow is from a fully functional and working system.I believe these devices do have real world value for weather professionals, and as one reviewer already mentioned here -- monitoring of heat index by school and camp professionals. I have a daughter in marching band who frequently is required to practice outdoors with her class in the blistering summer heat. This would be a great device for the instructor to use and I will be recommending it to him.My only warning to would be buyers, the instructions are not very clear and the buttons on this device feel very iffy and like they may not last a long time.For me, it's really a novelty gadget that is fun to use while camping off grid when away from online weather reports and warnings. Not a necessary item for me personally, but fun and educational none the less. I enjoy having it.
