The device has arrived with user manual written only in Chinese (pictures attached). It is a problem, especially because this device needs a calibration before first use. Moreover, this Chinese user manual seems to come from a different device as the scale unit shown in the pictures was a per mile not a Specific Gravity and there is no BRIX scale at all. The device is suppose to have an automatic temperature compensation function but the user manual contains some temperature compensation table. It would be nice to know if readings taken at temperatures different from 20*C should be compensated manually or not. Another bad thing is the focus handle which is, in my opinion, too loose. I only hope that the readings will be quite accurate as I haven't tested it yet.

Nice build quality. Feels strong. Was calibrated out of the box. Visibility is excelent. Reading seems to be acurate enought for this not profesional measuring device. In solution of 80 ml water and 20g. sugar reading are 19.4 Bx (theoreticali must be 20 Bx.)
