I have digital and anolog. I think I’m going back to analog. Very disappointing to get ready to shoot and your gauge is dead…

Analog or Digital gauge?

Dead dead or dead battery? But yes, totally agree, I prefer when the gun is already ready when I'm ready

had 2 different digital gauges both ended up leaking out of a tiny little hole on the side
went back to wiki gauges. digital is nice on the reg but yet to find one that lasts.

I’ve tried both on my M3 and eventually went to WIKA analog gauges to replace the FX. The digitals were just too precise with values constantly changing based on on temperature; was driving me crazy. Just no need for that level of precision for me.

I have 2 older version Edgun gauges they both work but a PITA to change batteries and on one of them when I changed the battery it didn't work, I fiddled with it a few times got it to work but the display is much dimmer than before. The real old version had a very stiff cover very hard to press the hidden switch. The newer one's cover is much more flexible and it works OK. I removed both of them from the guns and attached them to Foster fittings. I used them as test gauges check my other gauges. These Edgun gauges agree within 0.1 bar. I'm assuming they are the gold standard and I used them to test my other gauges.
I also bought 3 cheap digital gauge from Amazon (made in China) they all leaked, some day on, other within 3 days later. I returned all of them.
I like analog gauges on the guns so I worry less about leaks, electronic failures or batteries being dead. I like my guns to work and not depend on the whims of tech.
I like the better resolution and accuracy of the digital gauges, but other than setting and monitoring a regulator this advantage is negated by poor reliability and needed battery charging or battery replacement.

I just got a Vet with a digital gauge, I just replaced all O rings in gun but I now I think I have a slow leak from gauge. only a guess but it doesn't seem to display the correct pressure any ways as my tank shows 3500 psi when filling but digital gauge on gun only shows 220 bar. I just ordered an OEM vet gauge to replace it. gun did come with original gauge but I don't think I can trust that one either.

I’m going to use this for my compressor setup and on a regulator tester, but as far as the gauges on the actual air rifle I prefer analog but for filling tanks and using a reg tester I’m going to try this one out, fingers crossed
