Good digital tire guage to dial in pressure on MTB?

If you're not dead set on digital.
I picked up an accu-gage. It's been great.

Look it up.

I have an accu-gage as a check for my pump gages. Not digital but it’ll never need a battery either.

The Meiser guage is also really accurate, but extremely fragile.

That's true. I'm on my second fat bike gauge - definitely make sure you won't be exceeding the upper limit of the range. I got lazy, grabbed the 0-15 gauge to measure a 29x3 tire I thought was probably around 12.5-14, turns out it was 17 and the gauge was blown.

Anyone have the same problem with the SKS? Topeak not as fussy?

I have the SKS. Same problem. It's unusable from my perspective.

Never. Not once have I had any trouble at all. Unfortunately, I have had two SKS gauges stolen from me when wrenching at big events. So I need another one.

I've used this for a few years now, no issues at all.

I have both the Topeak and the Schwalbe and prefer the latter.

The Topeak only displays PSI in whole number increments, which may or may not matter to you.

I've got a Joeblow Mountain pump with an accurate gage. I've also got an external Topeak digital gage but it hardly gets used.

I have an accugauge and also like my Shimano Pro Digital Pressure Checker. Pumps have crap gauges that can be accurate or not, usually not. 5% error is considered okay for a typical pump gauge.

My Topeak digital gage (not the latest version) reads to 0.5 psi.

Odd. I bought mine when I started racing CX and that was only 4 years ago and it's definitely whole unit increments only.

Mine looks like this https://www.rei.com/product/628275/t...ead-tire-gauge

Probably 10 or more years old.
