Ahhh I think those ones are often hair types they actually use hair as a movement. They are too fragile.

It is always a balance between durability and accuracy. The brass ones I have (the one I linked) are reasonable accuracy and exceptionally robust. I check mine ever 6 months and I have yet to have one more than 5% off. I don't know why you had so much problems with them I have a lot of them and never had any issues. I have a box of dead digital ones I have never had much luck with them.
