I don't have my own tanks in Florida or when I'm traveling, so often get on a boat with 2 or 3 tanks waiting for me. I use my reg with the SPG to quickly check the gas in both or all 3 tanks then go ahead and analyze them. This is faster/easier than firing up my computer. Sometimes the tank pressure and/or the nitrox analysis gives me a preference in the order to dive them. A few times I've picked up a low fill that could be remedied before leaving.
Forever, I've taken several breaths off my reg and watched the SPG just before jumping. This takes into account anything stupid I, or anyone else, might have done, or not done, earlier. Works for me.
I've used my backup SPG twice in just under 1000 dives with my VT3
