I wanted a time & temp device to put on the ridgeline of my backpacking hammock. The OS EB313HG has a wider temperature range than most inexpensive devices; that is the most common failing of other products. It is a little bulky, just a tad larger than my cell phone, but it is light weight. The lock feature allows you to toss it anywhere, and trust that the Max & Min won't be reset, or your alarm won't be inadvertently turned on or off. I wish it would give the barometric pressure in mBars instead of just a trend arrow. The trend faithfully shows the diurnal pressure change, and predicts rain and sunshine, alternately, on a daily basis. At the price offered by Amazon, this device is a no-brainer!

I took this unit with me to Central America and found it to be amazingly accurate. It performed "forecasting" at least as accurate as the local weather guys on TV. I found it to be very handy and practical. It allowed me to see what the current temperature and humidity was in several different micro-climates. It was nice to have the time and date displayed also so my journal keeping was accurate. The only thing missing was an anemometer!

This is a nice little gadget to have, but there is one problem with it, and that is the belt clip/stand. It is a straight, smooth piece of plastic that can easily slide off a person's belt if they are not careful.
