    My analog hygrometer was close to being accurate when I first got it but now has deviated quite a bit after 2 months. Right now it says my humidor is at 45%. Even $200 certified analog hygrometers have a deviation of +/-3%. The cheapest digital will likely be as or more accurate.

    If you use beads, your hygrometers don't have to be accurate. When you notice them dropping, add water.

    Thats what I figured. From doing some reading I will put my trust in the beads. And I will finally get them Sunday!

    I always doubted my hygrometer (digital).
    Then I got the 65% heartfelt beads.
    My hygrometer now always reads 65 or 66 %.

    It'll be interesting to see what they read once I get the beads.

    There should be some kind of program on the board where everytime the word "hygrometer" is in the title of a new thread, the system automatically applies this message.
