I'm not even sure that consistency is all that important.
An advantage of a good quality thermometer is that you get
a reading very quickly while you are adjusting the hot and
cold water flow. Some fo the cheaper ones are slow to react
to temp changes.

Another way to go cheaply is to get a small stick-on,
color-change thermometer for a buck or two and stick that
on the faucet.

I think I first heard of the the stick-on method from
George Booth.
