Looks like a good hygrometer. The advantage of one that is adjustable is that you can set it to the right Rh. All hygrometers must be calibrated, the Boveda kit is set at a specific humidity(I think 74%) when you put your hygrometer in the kit if it reads 72% an adjustable hygrometer can be re-adjusted to 74%. With a non adjustable you will have to remember that your hygrometer is reading 2% low.
Beads are similar to the silica gel you may use in your gun cabinet to remove moisture. But as Adam said they are set to a specific humidity and will add or absorb moisture as necessary.
I see that you missed posting an introduction. Please stop here
