Is this normal? I've tried 2 different Sierra voltmeters, both read low despite 12.45v to the gauge

Am I doing something wrong or is this normal?

Everywhere I check with the multimeter I get 12.45v. But the gauge is reading below 12v. I returned the first gauge thinking maybe it was just a bad gauge or something (there is no needle adjustment on them) but the second gauge is reading exactly the same as the first. When cranking the motor it jumps down to 10v so it appears the gauge is working, just reading a volt low.
