Ecowitt ECOWITT WN34BL always indicate ~2.5℉ high?

I have two Ecowitt liquid temp sensors WN34BL. Both indicate about 2.5℉ high. This is easily offset by calibration, but is this normal. Seems like a lot of offset.

Standard bulb thermometers. My electronic aquarium thermometer was calibrated against a couple of conventional ones.

I'd say ntc sensors are not known for high accuracy ( standard ntc tolerances range from 1% to 5% ).
With 1 point calibration, calibrate it at medium or normal temperature usage and you should be ok ( with the above limits )
