    I just have one of those little round adjustable ones with the red diamond button. I keep telling myself once it dies or gets too far off I will replace it, but after a few years it keeps within spec tested both with the salt and Boveda.

    I will replace it with http://www.theweatherstore.com/nicedihy.html
    Price isn't bad considering how much time and money I wasted testing cheapies.

    I have a number of electronic hygrometers and none are trust worthy. They are consistent showing the wrong rh. The analog type are my choice. Give them all a salt test every few months. Once their set they all (have about 10) seem to stay close +/- 3 to 4 rh.

    This is what I use:
    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    I like it because it is wireless so I can monitor my humidors without opening them. Once I calibrated them, they have been spot on.

    I've had good luck with the Hygro-set rectangular ones.

    I'll echo the Caliber IV recommendations. I own six of them, plus an older Caliber III. None were more than two points off at either 75% or 65% (both tests using Bovedas), and the Caliber IV is adjustble up to six points plus or minus. About $25 most places, but I've seen them for $20 on occasion. They use the common CR2032 button cells (about the size of a quarter), and should last six months to a year or longer; if your reading seems to be off, it's probably a battery near the end of its useful like. (I buy CR2032s in five-packs and keep spares on hand.)
    Smoke what you like, like what you smoke. Or don't. What do I care?
