I have this one. I mainly like the pressure gauge. Helps me keep logs when hunting and fishing. It also shows trends. Many times I think a front has passed and the weather should be improving and pressure rising making it a good evening to hunt but this thing will tell me different and ive found that pressure doesnt start to rise till hours later

funny, that is the one I was just looking at. The price is ok and it seems to do a lot. I just know nothing about brands and how they last

We've had ours a year and it holds up. Gave 4 of them away as Christmas gifts last year and everybody likes them. Only issue is the wind gauge. It has to be elevated and unobstructed. Never can get what I think is an accurate reading on it

We used to have a large rock hanging by a rope on crude looking tripod setup. Looked a little like an improvised camp stove. We called it our weather rock. Whenever the kids would ask us what the weather was, we sent them outside to touch the rock. Damn thing absolutely got the current conditions right every time. I'd recommend a weather rock to anyone.

Partially correct. Davis makes the best ones for non-scientific use. I did a good bit of research on them a few years ago for a client, and ended up buying him a Davis system. I talked with Jay Grimes (channel 9 weathermand and all-around smart fellow) and a couple other guys including a professor at LSU. The consensus was there are many better than a Davis system, but the Davis can be had for less than $400, whereas the higher end ones start at $2k or so.

I ended up going with something like this LINK. It's held up well for a couple years in pretty much the harshest environment in Louisiana (Johnsons Bayou).
