Are all pressure gauge's the same?

[shazam]

I'm ordering a pressure gauge and want to know if anyone can recommend a particular brand/model. Or are there any I should stay away from?

I notice there's a few labelled Scubapro which have a Uwatec logo on it... I'm assuming it's the same manufacturer?

I'm happy to pay more for a quality unit but not sure which brand/model to get. It will be mostly used for rec diving and would like to get into tec in the future... though not sure if there's any difference and I can future proof? I want something small and compact for travel.

Can anyone please recommend a model from this line up:

Nearly all spgs are made by the same factory in Italy. Tiermo. They just change the faceplate.

I haven't looked recently. Have the SPGs switched over to direct-drive Helicoids over traditional Bourdon C-tubes? I have an old Oceanic in a plastic housing that is Helicoid. Helicoids are much more shock resist and tend to hold their precision better because the tube is a great deal longer and there are no small gears.

To the OP, yes they are all basically the same, HOG, Hollis, Dive Rite, Halcyon, Scubapro, you name it, all coming out of the Termo Industria factory. For that matter so do most of the analog depth gauges and almost all of the floaty wrist/console compasses

Termo's are still Bourdon tube.
