not seen this one before but have seen hygrometers on the market that have specs that are far more precise then that one so i would say it could be what it says it is

 

my hygrometer updates every 5 secs

Can't beat a wet bulb/dry bulb thermometer. It takes all of the electronic problems out of the equation.
