A thermometer should tell the temperature

Comment:
I've had this clock/thermometer in my backyard, mostly out of the sun, since late summer. For all I would know from its readouts, it's 65-70 degrees every day except when temperatures top the 90s. Looks nice, but not much help.

Comment:
Nice big temperature dial and reddish orange pointer make it easy to check the temp from 20'. I hung the thermometer under a covered patio about 20' from the house and can check the temp from inside during our hot 100+ Sacramento summers and cool 40 degree winters.
The nicely antiqued metal frame is made of heaver metal than I expected so it is nice and sturdy. The glass is nice and clear, easy to keep clean and being glass should stay clear for many years. The plastic ones I've had a work yellowed in a few summers and became quite scratch from cleaning.
The temperature coil and clock mechanisms are enclosed and should remain dry if not put in direct weather. The dial and glass face are vented and so far I have not had any fogging on cool moist mornings.
I have tested the temperature against several other handheld gauges and the Springfield is accurate within as degree of two either way. I've had units costing three times as much that were not as accurate - impressed.
