I honestly can't say I need resolution finer than Celsius for air temperature. So many other factors have such bigger effects on the perceived temperature (humidity, UV index, if the sun is shining, wind speed, etc) that a granularity of 1°F doesn't make sense to me.

Pool temperature, on the other hand, yeah, 1°F or 0.5°C resolution is perceptible.
