Time for a new tire pressure guage

I have a digital Accutire pressure guage with a "lifetime" battery, whose life just ended. Since the battery can't be replaced, it's time for a new one. Any recommendations?

I saw this one from Accutire. The bleed valve would be handy as I always put in too much air, then I have to bleed down the air by trial-and-error and re-checking the pressure again and again with the guage.

Check the Intercomp gauge out we sell. It's a great guage and bulletproof. I bought one of these and gave all me Accutire gauges away.

I noticed that one had a lot of negative reviews on Amazon. Have you been happy with it? Several people said the hose was too inflexible, and other said it leaked.

So far no issues other then it turns off a little to quick. I like that it is backlit. It is the same model that a lot of places sell. I do think you can get a little **** with it becuase it goes to a 10th of a pound.
