Precision digital gauge reads up to 250 psi / 17 bar and is designed for use with tires, suspension forks and rear shock units.
- LCD display can be programmed to show pressure in psi, Bar, or kg/cm2
- Works seamlessly with Presta and Schrader valves without changing parts
This guage is very small and will fit anywhere yet the numbers are very easy to read. If you have a pump that does not have a guage (like most travel size) this will help give you consistent relative pressure readings. I'm not sure about accuracy but frankly that doesn't matter as long as its consistent.
I have only tried on tires not on any suspension parts so can't comment there.

Yes No Report as Inappropriatetire guage
My travel pump does not have a gauge so this work well. There is a slight drop in psi when releasing but maybe 2-3 psi which I compensate for.
Pros: work well and gives accurate psi.
Cons: slight loss in psi when removing but that is expected.

Yes No Report as Inappropriateeliminate air pressure guestimation
I bought this gauge specifically for the bleed valve. Air up my tires so that I know they are high enough, then attach this gauge and bleed them down to the perfect PSI. I recommend disengaging the gauge very quickly to limit air loss.
For bleeding air, make sure to push the button to the right of the power button. It allows the gauge to adjust pressure in "real time", it does not adjust the gauge.
Read the instructions.
Pros: perfect pressure (perfect for tubeless)
Cons: pricey

Yes No Report as InappropriateI like it..
I was specifically looking for Presta and Schrader capability in a single unit. The SmartGauge has nice size and heft, easy to read, works well on either valve type, and seems very accurate, at least with respect to consistently repeatable measurements.
Pros: Overall feel
No tools/parts to switch between valve stems
Seems to be very accurate
Bleeder function works nicely
Swivel head is helpful
Cons: Price
One more thing to put a battery in
