Looking for a long battery lasting clock and hygrometer all in one the ones I have bought in the past have not lasted very long battery wise and annoying to keep changing.
Any good ones out there?

If it comes to it and I can find a cheap one under $5 or so I might get a standalone clock for the shower/bathroom.
Why hygromet
To check temps in my room on very hot days. The humidity is just extra bonus fun.
Thought these were obsolete given the weather app on a phone these days
Well one of the clock/hygrometer will go down stairs in the shower for those days I'm cutting it close time wise before leaving.
The other will go near my computer to keep track of ambient temps mainly for hot days when it feels extra warm inside.
Otherwise yeah weather app for everything else.
But have been meaning to get a clock for down stairs bathroom.
hygrometer will go down stairs in the shower
A hygrometer measures the amount of moisture in the air; having it in the same room as the shower seems strange.
The shower will just be used as a clock mostly and the temperature as there is a huge difference in temperatures between upstairs and downstairs on hot days. The humidity is really just a bonus thing at this point.
This one uses an aaa battery, it is larger than the pictures make it look.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005889999470.htmlI have had it a short while, but working well, and a aaa battery has about 5 times the capacity of a cr2032 coin cell.
I have these and do not recommend them. I bought 3 of these and all of them lose time - the clock slows down over days and eventually shows the wrong time. Never seen it happen in digital clocks until I bought this.
I think this is what happened to a cheap one I got years ago from aliexpress. It became useless and lost time and so I started to doubt the accuracy of the temperature and other functions also.
Hygrometer is really handy to keep humidity in check to prevent mould. Every time i see more than 70% i would take some preventive measure like turning on the dehumidifier or AC.
Hmm I'll keep that in mind. Only time we ever got mould was during the heavy flooding season where the rain was so strong it went inside the dry wall. I'm scared to look inside the house for black mould but I cleared the part facing inside the house I know not ideal but this place needs a renovation honestly but not my house.
We use these at home. When the CO2 goes over 1000ppm it's a good indication that ventilation is required; a small gap in a window resolves this pretty quick. Cheapest CO2 monitor with an NDIR sensor that I know of. Measures humidity also.

We saved money by not getting the ones with CO₂
When one of the kids passes out, it's a good indication that ventilation is required…
You could invest in a Jaeger atmos clock - it uses the differences in temperature to run.
I use these…
They're at a good price at the moment too…
Sync to an app via bluetooth so you can look at the data daily/weekly/yearly etc.
Oh nice this looks pretty good. I already ordered two cheap one from temu because they had clock function also and a cool probe to act as second temperature which I might use to monitor pc exhaust temps.
But this is on my wish list now if the temu ones are dud ones.
These don't show the time, but the App is pretty good…
Also, if you get these, get them from Amazon, not AliExpress… The AliExpress ones take forever to arrive and the last one I ordered never got delivered and i had to wait months for a refund… Not worth trying to save $2….
I ended up getting this

sorry for the weird spam but cannot post the temu link here for some reason but it has two temperature readings one internal one via a probe and clock
looks like it might end up like landfill but the two temperature reading hooked me
sorry for the weird spam but cannot post the temu link here
yes you can, you just need to remove the referral code from the URL, just after the product code.
@AlienC: Temu sharing links that resemble
share.temu.com/cannot be posted on Ozbargain because they share the same format as referrals and the system will auto unpublish them if posted.Please expand the links by clicking on the sharing link and then copying the URL from the address bar and removing all the extra tracking parameters, I've done that for you just now.
@jv: I tried temu links are cooked my guy I'm sorry there is no way you just have to copy paste and google the above title description sorry temu doesn't work
I have a number of the little temperature/hygrometer ones scattered throughout the house, including the server "room" (it's in the top of the broom closet). You can buy multipacks on Amazon for the equiavalent of about $4 each.

do any of them have the time like a clock on them?
1 of mine has a 24hr clock, but its no longer sold on that website linked above. If you click the link there's no less than 8 different models with a clock on the front page (if viewing on a mobile).
Go analogue then
