Two bullets that need reading together

Built-in light-up feature. And: needs no batteries.

A readout that glows without power is a luminous marking, not a lit display. The listing does not spell that out, and this page will not supply a mechanism the maker has not.

The Celsius question

Fourteen degrees is a cold white and nineteen is a warm red, if you think in Celsius. If you do not, this instrument needs translating every time.

It is the only thing wrong with an otherwise sensible object: steel, no battery, markings printed on the band.

What readers ask us

Fahrenheit or Celsius?

Celsius, published. On a shelf aimed at American buyers that is worth knowing before it arrives: 14 °C (57 °F) means nothing at a glance to most people who think in Fahrenheit, and there is no switch.

How does it light up without a battery?

The listing says "built-in light-up feature" and "needs no batteries" in two separate bullets. The most likely reading is a luminous or high-contrast marking rather than an illuminated display. This page will not claim more than the listing supports.

How does it compare with the Le Creuset collar?

This is stainless and reads in Celsius with a twelve-month guarantee. The Le Creuset includes a serving chart and a wine collar and carries five years. Both read through the glass; neither publishes a range.
