So these are about 50F apart! I just bought the digital one because I was sick of how difficult the analog one was to read with its very odd scale. It did seem to cook fine and I believe it is closer to accurate than the digital with this pork loin. Either way WTF?
Btw they are both in at the same depth and I want 145F here

I calibrated the digital unit using boiling and ice water. It was the correct 212deg for boiling but as you can see below it failed the ice water test by 13deg!
If I were to draw out the scale of the old manual meat scale it seemed to measure correctly on both water readings. I've used that thing for a couple of years and never had an issue other than reading it so I knew something was up. Should have bucked up for a calibrated unit in the first place. For $12 it's barely worth returning. I too thought the modern tech would be basically bulletproof.

Cured belly, first of three cold smokes with hickory
Sous vide pork belly (165/24) with char siu sauce (hoisin, soy, siaoxing, sugar, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, honey), crisped in hot grill
Took the char siu and put it in steamed bread, with Momofuku cucumber pickle, reduced bag sauce, sriracha mayo, cilantro and romaine.
