What’s everybody's opinion on the Govee Hygrometer?

[JustAChickenLoverOverHere]

So, I was wondering on opinions about this hygrometer. I’m looking to get one that doesn’t break the bank/ is under 25 bucks. Any other recommendations for a thermometer and/or hygrometer would be gratefully taken. Thanks!

I loved it. It really helped on my crappy first incubator. If it wasn't for that, I'm sure not one egg would have hatched! When I got my nurture right, it always matched 100%. It was great for alerting me when humidity would go down if I wasn't near the incubator.

Hmmm... I have the digital readout one in the greenhouse right now. I'm going to go get it and put it in the incubator at the next candle. (We're in the "it's hot and windy, or hotter and windier" season now, so it's not useful for anything for a while.)

I can't say how truly accurate it is, but it was nice to be able to monitor the greenhouse during the winter without going out there, and to see the logs to know how bad it got during the polar vortex.

I bought one and put it in my Nurture Right 360. I used it as a way to compare what was displayed on the incubator to the Govee and they seems to match up. After that I used it to display the history, it is nice to see how stable the incubator is over time. I will continue to use it.

I loved mine right away but had a bad hatch (cheapo incubator) and wanted to be sure it wasn't the Govee. It was dead on accurate when I calibrated the temperature, and wasn't very far off (about 1%) when I did a salt calibration for the hygrometer. I contacted Govee about calibration instructions and they said that the hygrometer portion was only accurate to +/-3%, but that's still accurate enough to hatch with.

I almost got one, but my uncle said he had one and didn't like it. I got these instead- small enough to fit in my Brinsea Mini II, battery powered, incredibly accurate. I calibrated them just in case, but they came perfectly calibrated.

Oooh I might have to order those as a cross-comparison! I do like that I can check my Govee from the comfort of my bed, though.
