I purchased the Bluewater clock and barometer. Neither keep time or accurate barometric pressure. I gave these. a chance and missed the return window. Weems and Plath should not put their names on these.

This would be good in a boat that has vibrations that will allow the needle to find its center, but I bought it for indoor use and it is non functional. I need to tap on it to get it to move at all. At this point, I'm going to dismantle and lube with clock oil, which I'm sure is all it needs.

The fact that this black-cased 'Bluewater Collection' barometer actually looks good here is deceptive. On the day of its delivery the first thing I noticed was its case: Cheap black plastic! And its white dial looked cheap, too. Like paper. I was not a happy piglet.Thankfully the seller approved my return and refund, and agreed in writing that the description of this barometer is very poor which was as described by Amazon, NOT the seller!5 Stars for the sympathetic seller.1 Star for the barometer. It's complete rubbish.

Although it is plastic, it really looks more contemporary and fits in modern decor. It has been spot on accurate with a digital barometer that I have. For the price, it seems like a good value.

Accurate instrument. easy to open and adjust. This is my third boat and at my age I got enough to do without polishing brass. This sailboat is a 30 and the smaller size just looks better. it's plastic but it's black so you can't really tell. Every offshore boat needs a clock and barometer. This is s cost effective and attractive way to have both with up to date technology. I recommend it over a used vintage brass unit off eBay that may or may not work.

I have had this for a little while. Much of the fluid has leaked out. No instructions on how to refill it anywhere. I have used Weems and Plath products for years, but this does not live up to their usual reliability.

The kids and I are doing backyard observations to learn about the weather. This works great, the dial is easy to read (my son is in 4th grade and can accurately read it), and the initial calibration for my altitude was pretty easy: the bezel swings open just like the ship's clocks I remember from my time in the navy. The instrument is affixed to the bezel, and you have good access to the back of the barometer. Small flathead screwdriver adjusts the barometer just fine, but the setscrew is very sensitive. Reads accurately once I calibrated it, and matches the National Weather Service readings at our airport.

Reasonable price and works well to indicate changes in barometric pressure. Beautiful besides, matte plastic but classy, and matches at least two other of their instruments. Though Weems & Plath do not claim it is weather proof (meaning, I think, waves washing over it or typhoons), I have no doubt it is highly weather resistant as it has a good gasket and effective closure. Really my only objection is that it is marked "Rain," "Change," and "Fair" in fancy script, which I remember seeing on barometers as a child and naively taking the warnings as literal, which they are not. The instrument tells you the pressure is falling (which could mean Rain, or not) or rising (which could mean Fair, or not). Those nostalgic words may summon memories, but this is a scientific instrument not a Magic Eight Ball and they should be eliminated. After initial setting (follow their good instructions and consult the Weather Service web site for specifics), mark present pressure by rotating the moveable hand, note the change from the dial as time passes and you will be informed of rising or descending pressure, from which you may draw reasonable conclusions if you have a basic meteorological understanding. Then compare your (local) interpretations with Weather Service reports, which are more comprehensive but less geographically precise. I'm not a boater, but if I were, I think this would be invaluable if I suddenly saw the pressure dropping, hence alerted and checked alternative sources for possible storms. With reasonable understanding, this quality instrument rates 5 stars, but the misleading "Rain," etc markings caused me to grant the device only 4.

I was uneasy when I saw the box hanging inside a shopping bag on the lid of my rural mail box. When I was walking back to the house, I rolled the box over to look at the labels, and something was rattling around loose, inside. "This can't be good," I thought...I opened the package, and removed the barometer from its cardboard box, and it rattled again. I opened the bezel and found the airtight diaphragm chamber loose, inside. A bit of looking showed where it had been attached, and there was still a small amount of sticky adhesive in evidence.I re-stuck the chamber to the back of the instrument face, aligning it with some lugs where the diaphragm could move the needle, and the needle responded appropriately. I set the pressure using the adjustment screw on the back, according to a nearby NWS station, and hung the instrument on the wall. We are under a stable ridge of high pressure, so there probably won't be much change to measure for a few days.The construction quality and materials certainly didn't suggest it was worth the discount price, let alone the retail price, but I might not have thought much about that if it'd had enough adhesive applied to keep the major component from falling off in shipping.There was nothing wrong with the packaging, by the way, Amazon. The air pillows kept the instrument from moving around much in the box, but the chamber must have been just barely attached to the inside when it was made.I'll be pleased if it works, but I'll probably steer clear of Weems & Plath products, from now on, unless I can hold them in my hand before buying.Heads up, Amazon.
