This New Tuner Day is a couple weeks late, but I thought I would put it through its paces before offering my opinion. Before getting into it, I'll acknowledge there are a lot of choices (even in my house). I have a couple practice amps with built-in tuners I don't use. I have a tuner phone app I just don't use. I have a multifunction pedal with a tuner that I don't use. Why? Because they're either not right there in the moment, or are not very accurate. I also have a couple of Snark tuners I've had a very long time. They've been good, except for a couple annoying factors. First, when trying to quickly tune a guitar, it's annoying for the little rubber foot of the tuner to come loose and need reattaching. Happens to me often. Second, I have simply had it with replacing CR-2032 batteries! What year is it that I need these around? Finally, my living room Snark started to need to be smacked to actually start registering a frequency at random times. So I went shopping for a USB rechargeable tuner that might be just a step above the Snarks, and I believe I found it:

I've stopped using the Snarks in favor of this PRS headstock tuner every day for 2 weeks, and I'm sold. The display is a little better (despite PRS's self-aggrandizing bird icon) and that was Snark's strong point. The several modes of operation gave me choices, and although I know it's not actually a strobe tuner, I find the strobe mode to suit me best. It seems more accurate than the Snarks. It's all very good. I've charged it only once, and the display indicates a full charge 2 weeks later - awesome. The only annoying aspect is that I want to keep its USB cable with it so as to not confuse it for another device's cable. I can live with that, and I think I'm finally done with Snarks.
Edit: Never mind all that, the head broke off after less than a year, and it's garbage now.
