I use this Draper gauge and a cheapie compressor from Lidl.   The gauge on the compressor is off but I normally go above what I need and the bring the pressure down with the bleed valve on the gauge.     I have an accessory plug on my bike so I can power the compressor from it.     Bit bulky but accurate and quick.

Foot pump and Draper pencil gauge. I had to renew it as they wear a bit and under read after a few years (I use it every day nearly). I bought three together last time and they all read the same, but my old one was 2 or 3lbs lower every time compared to them.

You're not using correctly then, pencil guages like that are the most accurate devices for measuring tyre pressure.

I know that

I wish I hadn't googled that, suppose I know what it means now and got some relationship advice at the same time 🤣🤣🤣.  In answer to the question I do like a tank bag and a Bagster makes that easy, but I do see your point.  🤣
