Best style: SP Belart storm Glass Thermometer

It has a bigger range (60-100 degrees) and is very pretty. It is very accurate with its temperature reading. The glass is very clear and the thermometer is heavy and solid. It is a good size to read the temperature. The cylinder liquid is " thicker " so the spheres are more buoyant and float upwards.

This is pretty cool once you figure out what temperature each little bubble is. Its "accuracy" is +/- 2 degrees, since that's the interval between bulbs. It does make for pretty mantle decor.
