best cheapo barometer/clock device

[pcatterall]

Have read the thread on self build barometers with interest. As we are now doing longer sails weather forecasting and information seems more important.I would like to have 'a device' in the (semi) wheelhouse that the watch keeper can use to record temp and ( especially ) pressure. It would be nice if there was some kind of history chart showing pressure over say 24 hours.I'm looking for a cheapish eBay/liddl job with batteries.Any recommendations please?

We have one exactly like this http://www.amazon.com/Ambient-Weather-WS-1171B-Temperature-Barometer/dp/B003OSSH9G which gives a bar chart of pressure over the last 24 hours and inside and external temps.

This is not on Amazon UK as I searched for images but there will be loads of the same "weather stations" for sale on UK Amazon. Just look for the bar chart.

Many years ago I got an Oregon scientific BAA928U that displayed pressure and a bar graph and recorded pressure and inside/outside temperature and other factors

Here's ca copy of manual

Don't know if it still available but may be a replacement model

All I want is a digital barometer ! - not a weather station !

Why is not such a thing made ?

Its way cheaper than an aneroid set up - just a plastic case - digital readout and a 24 hr bar graph ?

Auriol handheld weather station model Z29592 from Lidl about 3 years ago. Does everything you asked for but pressure trend only over last 12 hours. Also lots of stopwatch, timer, alarm, world time functions etc. Don't know if currently available anywhere but manual can be found via Google. Can't remeber what I paid, probably not much more than a tenner.

Google SUNROAD, they do little barometers that show trends and have several other, superfluous, features
- like temperature, mostly yours if you hang it around your neck.
- time, handy if you want to know the time
- date, I don't design these things
- actual barometric pressure, can be calibrated and seems to be quite consistent
- altitude change, handy I suppose if you are skiing or climbing but totally useless on a boat.
- and a compass. Might be last resort handy.

Yes, looked at meteoman but a bit out of my spec. price wise. I appreciate that the cheapos may not be so accurate but some can be calibrated and it is changes and trends we are looking for

I decided not to fit my MeteoMan, so available to buy at cheapest price you can find but including custom NMEA lead.

have just pressed the button for Opes Wireless Weather Station from Amazon. Good reviews and £30.
Get yours on ebay !!

When you get one of these super barometers, you still buy one of those swish brass barometers and clocks!

No!! ( because I have those ornaments already)

 

[Seajet]

I can tell you what NOT to get !

Largely for ornamental purposes, a few years ago I bought the £165 Plastimo brass clock & barometer on a nice bit of wood ( teak ??? ) - within 2 years both units had packed up...

Not surprisingly a wide selection of uber sensitive digital electronic devices recommended, but if all you want is simple barometric pressure and temperature you could go traditional (analog?? ) style.. when i got mine I went on eBay/Amazon and looked in the gardening section for outdoor weather instruments and chose based on feedback/price...
