Excellent
I was looking for an outdoor thermometer to replace and old, cheap, ugly and inaccurate one. This one fits the bill very nicely. It has a very simple but attractive design, seems very accurate, and is easy to read with one caveat: it has a small dial, and can't be read from more than a few feet away. For my application, however, that is not a problem. As for accuracy, there is a set screw in the middle of the back that is accessed by removing the dial (it slides off) from the arm it is mounted on. Very slight turns move the needle one way or the other, so it is very easy to calibrate to a trusted source such as a thermostat. It took just an hour or so indoors for the temp reading to stabilize and allow said adjustments. Finally, it mounts outside easily using two wood screws, and the arm pivots at both ends to allow precise placement. Very nice!

Pretty, Reasonably Accurate, Almost Impossible to Calibrate
This thermometer is attractive and easy to install.I live two miles from a US Coast Guard weather station. After calibrating this thermometer to match my others, it tracks the Coast Guard station to within two degrees.Speaking of calibration, the adjustment is extremely finicky. If you're easily frustrated, don't get this. Just touching the adjustment screw causes the pointer to bounce around. Then, a minor turn of the screw results in no movement of the pointer.Here's how I calibrated mine:1. Put it in the refrigerator long enough for it to read about ten degrees lower. Then remove it and allow it to return to room temperature. This, I guess, lets the mechanism settle in.2. Turn the calibrstion screw a tiny amount in the desired direction. Completely ignore the pointer while turning the screw. It might bounce around, or not move at all. This requires some guesswork. If you can feel the screw just barely move, you will have changed the calibration by a couple of degrees.3. Repeat step 1, in order to check the result of the calibration attempt. Then, if necessary, repeat step 2. Continue in this manner, until satisfied.

Pretty good thermometer
Easy to read, I think it is pretty accurate. I use it inside my cabin to give me some reference. Simplicity is key and so far this thermometer has delivered. I would recommend it.

Easy to Read
This is a nice looking piece and is easy to read. The only problem with it is the dial has a large tail that covers up part of the humidity dial when pointing upward. That aspect needs a re-think.

Brass swivel thermometer
I love this thermometer. When I got it, I left it out in my living room for a couple days, occasionally checking the temperature vs. my thermostat. It was reading a couple degrees cool, so I removed it from the bracket and used the adjustment screw to calibrate. For the next day I observed the readings vs. my thermostat and it tracked accurately. It's installed on my covered back porch, and now I can get a reasonably accurate outside temperature reading. This is FAR BETTER than the totally inaccurate and fairly expensive digital WiFi thermometer I had from AccuWrong. That thermometer was off by at least 10 degrees. Very happy with this analog dial thermometer. Do not hesitate to purchase.

Good idea for deck window
This is my second one, love the design and easy to read…but…unlike the first one the temp accuracy is off by about 4 degrees ☹️

Accurate in the Shade
I love the look of this thermometer, and it's accurate—as long as you keep it in the shade. Where I installed it, the sun hits it all afternoon and it reads about 20 degrees hotter. Probably because it's metal. I don't mind, and will reinstall it somewhere in the shade, but it might affect your use of it.
