12 Inch Vintage Large Outdoor Thermometer - Antique Copper, Big Easy to Read Numbers, Premium Steel Waterproof Wall Thermometer for Garden Patio, Decorative & Accurate, No Battery Needed

Arrived in perfect condition, looks and feels very nice. Easy to install with included screws. Very easy to read, it is bigger than expected. Shows the correct temp, as long as it's not in direct sunlight. Installed on the wood trim outside window. Can be easily seen from inside.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I wanted a copper analog thermometer that had clear Celsius and Fahrenheit and a fairly accurate measurement. I placed it in the shade on my porch and it has consistently displayed the same temperature as the weather report for my area (+/- 1 degree).

This so called compass, doesn’t work not accurate at all and the glass/screen on both sides are scratched…lime it was used

The first one was made of plastic. The plastic rotted and fell apart. The second one was cheap and didn't work. This one is metal and works. It looks good, too.

Accurate, but the temperature line (red whatever mercury substitute they use) is barely visible unless you’re right next to it. I have this mounted on my back porch about 4-5ft from my sliding glass door and can barely see it from inside.

This is a great-looking, sturdy and apparently accurate thermometer, but I have two problems with its readabilty. The first, and this is more a matter of just what I'm used to, is that the Centrigrade readings are on the left and the Fahrenheit on the right, which is the opposite of all other thermometers I have ever owned, so until I get used to it I need more than just a quick glance. The other problem, and it's more significant, is that the finish on the metal is much darker than shown in the illustrative photo and, while it is very attractive, it is extremely difficult to see the black numerals against the steely gray of the body. The only way to make that easier would be to move it into direct light, which is exactly where a thermometer should not be. Were I to buy another, I would not get this color. Edit: I neglected to look carefully at how this thermometer is calibrated. It only goes to 104 degrees and this range is no longer adequate for summers in inland California.

value and size

I liked the rubber washers it came with, I pre-drilled small holes and installed it in a snap. It was accurate when compared to my local weather app, and the large red gauge is very easy to read. Can recommend
