I've simplified and improved my pre-ride process by getting one of these mechanical pressure gauges.
1\. Add some air to tires. \[Assuming it's been a few days since the last ride\]
2\. Check pressure and use gauge's air release button to lower to correct pressure.
3\. Ride.
The gauge is cheap and I can let air out without removing it so getting to the correct pressure is painless. I have a 0-30psi model for my "normal" tire bikes and a 0-15psi model for my plus bikes. No batteries or other tech to deal with.
