I love digital gauges for their accuracy and easy-to-read displays, but I always carry analog gauges with me. One reason is that the reliability of a mechanical tool cannot be surpassed. No dead button cells, dead batteries or dead displays. But one more thing: I really like using them when I'm working on classics. It's just my thing. I think this gauge makes a great gift for retro car and motorcycle enthusiasts and enthusiasts. It looks and feels good, comes in a storage box (a bit flimsy but gift-worthy enough) and even has a light-up dial! I took some photos and hope it helps with the decision making.
