Barometer Adjusting
Obtain the standard atmospheric pressure from your local observatory or other ways.
NOTE: Please hang the weather station in adequately ventilated place to avoid sunshine and corrosive air.
Use it in the required range, don’t make it touch water or steam.
Avoid violent vibration and hitting, and do not disassemble by yourself.
Adjust the spiral on the back of the barometer with adjusting tool, and then make it point to the air pressure you obtained.
Surface needle can be adjusted by hand, can compare the baro value changed after setting.
Knock at the face lightly in order to eliminate the friction caused by the transmission movement.
To avoid the loss caused by internal components, please adjust the hands slowly.
If the adjusting range is wide, please adjust for several times separately.
Imperial System
This portable weather station is composed of a barometer, a thermometer and a hygrometer.

Bought for my dad as a gift and he uses it in his home in Auckland. Lack most of these types of devices they are reasonably accurate but not tremendously. Works fine so long as you give it a few soft taps to let the needle settle in the right position.

I've had this since early 2020 and have now used it in two different residences without a problem. It hangs on the wall, and not too high so the temp/humidity gauges don't get affected by the height and it being warmer. I use the barometer everyday a LOT and have it calibrated to wunderground.com which I also have used for decades for its accuracy. I adjusted just now and initially when I first got it years ago, and it's my reference to weather every day! I can tell if it'll be cloudy as the barometer pressure drops, or gets clear and sunny as the pressure increases. There's even a dial marker you can turn as a reminder as to when last set, to compare to a more timely reading. I've read the other reviews and am guessing others really don't know HOW read it. The pressure does NOT really change much, unless you have a hurricane or tornado coming your way, then it should drop in pressure waaay down! In the two different locations I've been, I have had NO problems at all, adjusting it as necessary [tool provided] and it has been accurate in all aspects: humidity, temperature and barometer pressure, and this is the very first and only one I've ever owned. I later purchased a handheldd wind/temp/pressure reader which is VERY handy to use also. As a photographer who ventures out in all sorts of weather, these weather and barometer instruments are very useful. I have had NO problem with this , and for those who know how to calibrate it with the included tool, will be a very useful tool for them, as it has been through the years for me. I highly recommend this, and I have NEVER had a problem with this throughout the many years I've had this.

Some might wonder why the pressure scale if off about 10° from vertical. That's because 29.92 inches of mercury is standard barometric pressure and is displayed at the top on this particular model.I found the device fairly easy to calibrate with the tool provided. I used the NOAA observation to set it to my elevation.Android barometers are kind of gimpy so you have to give it a little tap to make the needle display the accurate pressure.The unit in my photo is mounted on a slab of bass wood.

I was uncertain about getting a barometer at all after looking at multiple reviews (for multiple different barometers); so many reviews say they are unreliable. However, after getting this one and setting it the way the instructions said, it has given the same readings as a local weather station every day for the past two weeks. I pick it up and tap gently to let the needle swing around some but it's final stop is always very close to what the local weather station says. So I have been very pleasantly surprised by the accuracy of the barometer part.The thermometer also seems to be accurate. I am not as sure about the hygrometer, because I have another hygrometer and they seem to disagree with each other most of the time. But the needle definitely moves and I can see when it is more humid or less humid; but whether the actual numerical reading is accurate or not with the hygrometer I cannot tell.Overall I'm very satisfied with this item and it is nice to have all three meters in one.

I didn't purchase this for accuracy. I purchased it for one simple purpose.I have discovered that severe increases in atmospheric pressure trigger sinus headaches. I know that we see a sudden drop, a sinus headache is on the way, and if I can know it's coming, I can take steps to avoid it.It does it's basic purpose, but it is just annoying that you have to tap the glass to get it to respond. I guess from now on, when I check it in the morning, I'll just automatically tap the glass.Yesterday was the first big test. I didn't see a forecast for rain, and it was actually day two of having it mounted. I was surprised to see that when I tapped it, the needle dropped significantly. Well, I wouldn't have even noticed had I not intentionally tapped the glass to see if it was working, and sure enough, it got really windy with an extreme pressure spike later on in the day. Once again, I had to tap the glass to get the barometer needle to accurate respond to the change.So yeah, it does work. It's not going to suit my purposes, though, as it is mounted in a place that's not easy to tap, so I guess I'll be keeping the stepping stool handy while searching for a replacement.

This barometer flat out does not work. I’ve set it and carefully placed it on the wall and in 2 weeks with major swings in actual barometric pressure changes it never moved. I’ve tapped lightly on the wall next to it, no movement. I’ve lightly tapped it, still not working. I’ve recalibrated it several times and it does not move at all. Last time I set it the altimeter setting was 30.05 and today it is 29.74, but the stupid thing is still holding steady at 30.05. A broken clock is least correct twice a day. This thing is only correct the exact moment you calibrate and then never again. Don’t waste your money.

This is a nicely crafted piece of equipment and looks nice too. The numbers are big enough to read in low light. The temperature is accurate. However, the barometer is slightly off and the humidity way off. For example right now the humidity is 96% while the device is claiming its only 55%.

I live at the beach. Hasn't rusted out which is a great thing. Relative humidity is a bust. Temperature is accurate. Barometric pressure is so-so. We have a NOAA weather station close by. If I calibrate it today, it will be in range tomorrow but usually off by a tenth or more. After a few days, I need to check the NOAA site and recalibrate. Using it to tell relative pressure from day to day is what it's good for but, at the price, it is a reasonable device. Would I buy another? Probably not. Would spend more next time.
