I use indoor/outdoor thermometers to measure water temperature using the "outdoor" probe. The wire from the main unit to the remote temp probes is usually long enough (10 feet or so) to reach the bottom of many ponds when dropped from a boat. With a digital readout, you can watch the water temp stabilize at each depth until it reaches actual temperature there (a few minutes IME).
