Favorite rechargeable clip on tuner?

I have a couple of them, and I like them ... when they work. I say that because I got two defective ones from Sweetwater. Since getting past that little bump in the road, the two I own have worked great. They take the same 2032 battery that seemingly every other clipon tuner does, which is convenient.

Since the UniTunes cost a little more than the Snarks, at least IME, I tend to leave them home when I play a gig, usually taking a Snark instead (because I regard it as slightly more expendable). But it's not because the UniTunes aren't gigworthy; they are.

I use them for gigs all the time, as they’re quite sturdy, and the display is big and bright enough even for daytime.

I mostly use mine when I sit outside and play. It’s very accurate and easy to read. For the price, it’s pretty much unbeatable IMO.

We tested the new Snark a couple of months back and it did not perform well. When a regular tuner loses its juice the display dims but still works fine. The rechargeable one shows a bright display but won’t tune accurately or have difficulty even determining an A from an E.
We used it less than a dozen times over about 5 days. Not turning it off between uses like most of us do and although it turned on brightly each day it would not tune at all by the end of the test.
A quick look at the math says you’ll spend more time hunting a cable and a brick than dropping in a new 2032 every 6 months or so. It’s a good idea to offer rechargeable options for those that will remember to always keep it charged but imo it’s a pothole in the road you’re guaranteed to hit at the worst possible moment.
Disclaimer #2 - we’re forgetful musicians and tested it as such.

late to the party here. I just got a D'Addario Nexxus, I like it a lot. Mostly because it find the note faster than any of my other tuners, and seems to lock on it.

I also have a Snark rechargeable. It's good, but I never liked the Snark mounts.

Not a fan of the TC Unitune. It won’t track worth a damn for me. My Snark does a better job.
