Millibars are SI units.
1 millibar = 0.0295333727 inches of mercury.
Your old one is in inches of mercury. SI is a little more accurate but overall functionally the same.
I haven’t noticed the weather idiots talking about millibars but then again once they signed on to AGW I stopped listening to them and now read my own maps from intellicast.

Millibars are SI units. Do you mean metric units?

Metric (SI) vs. US customary units.
Neither one is more or less accurate. But SI is a LOT more logical and consistent. Easier to use once you are familiar with it.

Air pump gauges used mercury and were very accurate.
