I was thinking of getting one of these myself. The cost has been putting me off a bit (though you can easily buy them cheaper than $45). They aren't all that new, Famous Smoke Shop has had them for quite awhile - their sole review of it is from Jan 1 of last year.
There don't seem to be a lot of reviews, the one at Famous complains that it 'lost accuracy over time' (duh, maybe he needs to change the battery), over at Humidor Vault there's a couple:

Please do let us know how she works. I'm really surprised that more digital hygros aren't made to look a bit better and match the classic look many humidors and their fittings have. I would likely plunk down the money if this is indeed an accurate, quality piece. I hate inaccuracy, but I hate the cheap plastic digital clock look of most digital hygros almost as much. In two of my humis, I have calibrated analogs mostly for looks but XiKar digitals hidden in there too for reference.
