Skywatch Xplorer 2 Electronics Weather

This is a great "Wind" meter. I purchase this Wind meter, because I just started to kite board and needed to know the winds velocity, in order to fly my kite. Being a novice at wind speeds, I had no clue what 14 mph wind would feel like on a beach. Now I have something to measure the velocity for future reference. The Meter also shows you the temperature of the air or water. It will take a few minutes for the Meter temperature to become stable. I do recommend this product

I use this to take measurement when I got kiteboarding, sailing, parasailing, and even when I go rock climbing, this thing is accurate quick and I love the temperature piece, lets me have a better idea of what gear I need when I get out of my car. Skywatch is the most important piece for any kiteboarder its efficient.

The product arrived before anticipated delivery date and was securely contained in shipping box. My only concern after a few days of use on the golf course is the difficulty of setting wind speed (MPH vs KPH & FPS), temperature (C or F), Chill Factor, and "max wind speed" vs. "temperature display preferences with a "single button" to navigate thru multiple menus displayed on the screen in several locations (plus CF at third spot). After stumbling into "MPH" wind speed setting at top of display and "F" temperature read-out below that in lieu of "max wind speed" (measured), I limit my button presses to a single "power-on" press (it uses an auto-off feature). Note: the manufacturer provides a flow chart of sub-menus on their internet site per guidance from the 1/4-inch thick user guide booklet (used for Xplorer 1, 2, 3 & 4 models). This small (pocket) size wind, temp, and CF gage meets my needs quite adequately and can be used to measure water and solid surface temperatures by direct contact.

After reading so many reviews I chose this anemometer and am very happy with the results! Would recommend to anyone.

Neat little piece of equipment. does everything the manufacturer says it will do. Relatively easy to operate and read the display.

Temperature takes to long to give a coordinate measure

This was a gift for my Brother-In-Law and I was happy to get it in time for Christmas Day. The shipping and packaging was perfect also. I would recommend this item and company to others. Thanks again for your professionalism. Sincerely, Philip Orlando

Very good tool. Have used it on my days sailing and at work. Easy to use and waterproof. The temp. function may not be quick and you must hold from the sides so not to read the heat from your finger. But in summary for the price can't beat it.
