I may be a minority of one but that doesn't prevent me from being right.

Had one for a couple years - fine, and the sort of price I wanted to pay0

Take the battery out if you don't use it regularly as it's always in circuit and will drain down.Cycling is too nice to waste it on getting to work.0

9 quid for a digital caliper? Sounds cheap enough to me. Mine was a tenner off Ebay last year. Can't remember how I used to cope without it.0

Measuring the internal / external dimensions of round things like seatposts / tubes, headset bearings & races, wheel rim thickness, ball bearing sizes, screw and bolt sizes, thickness of sheet materials I'm using for shims / packing. And very carefully, cos it's pointy, skin fold thickness!
Most of these things are impossible to measure accurately with a ruler.0 -
Put it this way, it gets used many times in a year and I've had it 3 years, well worth the fiver paid. Seatpost is but one application.
A ruler is no substitute for a pair of callipers, but since you had to ask "what do you use them for", we're on the backfoot in provoking your imagination for you0 -
