Thermometer recommendations

As it is now impossible to find mercury thermometers, can anyone recommend a good one to use to keep track of body temperature?

I'm tempted by one in Amazon that comes with an app, as it would save the hassle of writing things down, but reviews are either 5 or 1 star!

Thanks!!

There are some from Geratherm which are similar to the mercury thermometers but use a different (non-toxic) metallic substance.

Varied reports - some find them hard to shake down.

The T3 group that follows Paul Robinson's protocol ie using vitals instead of blood tests, recommend both Geratherm and also fertility thermometers.
