Well, it's better than a POS digital one, but not as good as one that's calibratable...
here's the ones I have

can be calibrated & if you do a bit of searching you can find them for less then $6 a piece.

It will work nonetheless. I use two hygrometers and one is a reptile one. It works fine, just maxes out at about 80ish which is fine but if you want a good one that will be giving you exact numbers of rH, reptile ones are meant for a much more dry climate.

Wrap in damp towel for 45 minutes than mark where the indicator is. That will be 100%.

It looks like more chinese junk. I wouldn't waste your money.
Try to find a member in Germany to order you one of these hygrometers. It's what I had to finally do to get one that would actually work for my farm. They work great.
