Does anyone know why the reviews of this item seem to be referring to a watch band? Would love to read actual reviews of the product offered…
“Although it cannot be as accurate and reliable as barometer or actual weather forecast, it has gorgeous appearance and can be seen on any scene or table.”
I suspect it can be just as accurate, if not MORE accurate, than many actual weather forecasts…
Can also predict earthquakes. It falls to the ground and smashes to alert you.
It indicates tornadoes alerting you by flying across the room.
DO NOT BUY THIS THING!
We got one a few weeks ago on an auction. I have one of the Galileo thermometers and some other similar glass blown weather instrument (I can’t remember right now what it is and I cannot for the life of me find it! anyway… ) so I thought it would be nice to get this one, too. Yeah… no. That thing set there for weeks, through freezing cold, scorching hot, static dry, monsoon downpours and even tornadoes (it’s Alabama… we get a years worth of weather in any given month) and that thing did not change ONE time. It just sat there with a thin layer of crystals skimming over it’s surface and a glob of crystals at the bottom. No change EVER whatsoever.
I wanted to see other people’s opinions on this snake oil in teardrop (yeah… teardrop because that’s what you get if you fall for this scam) and I found this guy on g@@gletube:
I have one. The trick is to shake it in the morning. If the crystals settle then float, there’s usually going to be snow or rain. It’s just about as accurate as the talking heads on the TV. Except we can’t shake them.
It might help, though
Not with that attitude you can’t.
Museum Wax…
Used to do that with my dog when son was little. Son would get a chuckle out of it.
If Fred is wet, it’s raining.
If Fred is white, it’s snowing.
If we can’t see Fred’s eyes, it’s windy (long hair)
If we cant’ find Fred, it’s a tornado
I miss this weatherman…
I was pondering the same.
That’s because it can tell time too!
