As with @withered_preacher, never used a meter, never really had a problem.
I spin the nipples on a few threads at assembly, then take them down to like hide all but one or 2 threads (make it the same all the way round) and then start counting turns.
I find keeping nipple sides square to the rim makes counting turns much easier. And it helps my ocd.
