I have a digital Mitutoyo and and a Browne and Sharp dial (OK, and a Chinese vernier that I keep in the garage somewhere). I got the digital and dial from work when they closed the plant in 2003 and made hand tools available to the workforce at attractive prices. I thought the Mitutoyo would be a pain to keep in batteries and thought I would only trust my personal B&S dial. Since 2003, I've replaced the Mitutoyo batteries once, it is the equal of the B&S as far as accuracy and easier to read. I'm glad I have the B&S dial when the Mitutoyo digital goes down. For resolution anything smaller than .001" I use a mechanical micrometer. Either the Mitutoyo or the B&S are more than adequate for my purposes and will serve you well until the Mitutoyo battery dies.
