Mechanical is more reliable. Same goes for digital calipers too.

@@MattsMetalworking Agree. I've seen off-shore digital indicators, mics, and calipers off by as much as 3 thou. Given this, what's the point of using a mic to begin with? I'm not sure what the other gent meant by fighting with a mechanical mic. FWIW, I have three 1" micrometers: an analog B&S, an analog Mitutoyo, and a digital Mitutoyo. Usually, I reach for the B&S first. It doesn't have a ratcheting mechanism. I hope folks understand how important it is to develop a physical feel for a given tool. Don't even get me started on calipers. Good luck.
