Hit and miss, but they don't seem to drift in my experience. I had one that was bang on, and another that was off by about 3ppt (but was consistently off). I also had a refract that would drift from week to week to day to day (3-5ppt swings), and another refract that was dead on for months at a time (which I still use today
)

I think at the end of the day you inferred the KEY to this whole thing, consistency. Unless you are unlucky to get a meter that drifts all around, you are likely OKAY so long as what you are doing stays the same
