 Hope it has survived shipping... we'll see. July 6, 2010

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.

This may very well be a good product, but it does not work at the altitude where we currently live (over 4,00 feet). There is no way to adjust it to higher altitudes.

It is a good product and it performs as I expect it to perform. Very fast delivery which was great also.

My Weems & Plath Bluewater barometer tracks perfectly with the local Air Force weather station within the limits of readability.
