Keep getting my tire pressures wrong with my track pump so looking for a cheap digital guage for presta valves.
Theres a few on Amazon but don't know if they will be accurate. Running pressures between about 8 and 18.

It doesn't matter if they're accurate, as long as they are consistent. You need to find the pressure that suits your particular mix of tyres, weight, terrain, etc. through trial and error, then just set it to that pressure using the same gauge each time.
That's what I want to do but the guage on my track pump is hard to read as my pressures are so low.
The Topeak digital gauge is pretty good. Only downside is it’s to the nearest psi so a bit imprecise for plus/fat tyres.
It’s not cheap but not that pricey:

Your track pump gauge will be very inconsistent at low pressures, not just hard to read.

No more batteries!
Fabric analog gauge, its great.
Fabric dial here too - lovely bit of kit - makes the job a pleasure - I have the one that goes 0-30psi
