I don't like digital hygrometers. Too expensive, and you never REALLY know if its accurate or not.
I use this
Red Liquid Masons Hygrometer
Works great!

I've had shit luck with cheap hygrometers, digi and analog. Digital worked better, but of course crapped out as soon as it got the slightest bit wet. My analog ones don't seem to respond properly at all past 75-80%.
Thus, as soon as I find two cheap, suitable thermometers, I'm making a psychrometer.

There are a number of digital hygrometers that work just fine. I've been using a Taylor hygrometer/thermostat for years that I'm very satisfied with. It has remote unit that I keep in the greenhouse and a base unit that I keep on my office desk. This way I am able to keep an eye on it at all times. I wouldn't count digital hygrometers out completely.

Oh no, me either--as long as it's relatively accurate (+/- 5% is sufficient, really) and has a remote sensor, it's fine. Remote sensor is a big deal for me, though, after losing my last one to moisture.
"Hygrometer destroyed by humidity"... What a stupid concept. Piece of crap!

Overpriced, I'd say. You can get the same one for a third the cost, often.
Make sure you don't let it get wet for extended periods. Maybe just set it in the FC for a few minutes when you want to take a reading, then remove it? All I know is my digital got completely destroyed by pooling condensation.

And only forty bucks. Plus shipping. That's the deal, obviously.
