that will be a thing with digital but the one i use is in half thous. i scribed a line on the face for the first three digits .125 is an 1/8 Even left on batteries last me about three years cant complain about that and it doesnt just fail it gets dull for a while. Renata 357's are good and work in the digital spray guns as well. Fair bit cheaper than any 2032's ive ever bought. The caliper doenst turn off by itself but when its gets tripped on 30 -50 times between the three year or so battery change dont have an issue with that. Ive bought some calipers that give you 1/16 and thous and metric first had issues and not happy with the second either, bought them for the multiple scales. I wouldnt have interest in the knock off of the mititoyou, first off if its a copy, s second if this one has worked hard for over 35 years thats enough for me on quality of the product.
Here is 35 years of abuse, you can see the line scribed to make it easy to read sectioning off the .0005
