I've had a digital hygrometer for a year or so. A few days ago I picked up a few extra ones from a different maker. Smaller ones to go into uke cases. As an experiment, I placed them all in the same spot of the room where my larger hygrometer sits at.
Watching them for a few days, they don't agree on the humidity level. The difference is up to 6%. Not necessarily a huge discrepancy (though 45% makes me feel a lot better than 39%), but now I wonder how reliable these devices really are.
Are mechanical hygrometers more accurate than digital ones?
