I have an M12 ratchet and I use it mainly for hose clamps on cars, which are somehow invariably miserable to reach and need an ungodly number of turns. I think the M12 high speed ratchet is actually more popular these days because these tools simply aren't used for anything requiring torque.

Also, I've seen some of these power wrenches on youtube.that have a digital force meter on them. To measure the torque accurately. Are those 1) powered tools or a manual wrench 2) require constant calibration?

Most torque wrenches with digital readouts are going to be manual wrenches.
I guess if your a mechanic and putting hundreds of nuts on/off everyday, I can see it being a large time saver. For a DIYer doing a small jobs, it is kinda useless.

1: Installing a locking mailbox on a 4x6 post. 8 bolts had to be fastened from inside the mailbox downward to the post. I used 4 inch bolts and each had probably 100 full turns to make. Impact drivers couldnt fit, ended up using manual ratchet wrench and took over an hour.
2: installing running boards on an suv, required turning 20 bolts from under the car, not enough space for impact driver (unless you had the car on a lift)
3: any engine bay work where bolts/hose clamps etc. are too close to each other

Personally Ive always used this for $30 with a dewalt gryo screwdriver to spin nuts/bolts in tight quarters, while still using a regular ratchet for breaking loose or torqueing down. It is 2 tools instead of 1, but more pratical for a DIYer.
