Thing about digital is the battery. I only use one Digital in my shop, Mitutoyo Caliper, and keep spare battery’s to fit, its a good tool & use it frequently, switch to metric & back quick is advantage. Still have Analog Imperial & Metric Dials and often used Veiner caliper for working in fractions.

If I went digital for everything would need many different battery’s & for sure infrequent use likely to be dead when I need it.

Digital no more accurate than quality analog either. Actually one good vintage Mauser brand caliper imperial thousands & fractions one side Metric the other serves all purposes. Inexpensive used on EBay
Look at this one 154025842685
