I agree too, I've got a nice little lightweight Casio quartz watch with
a regular analog dial and glowing hands plus a small digital LCD window
at the bottom for the same reason as you. It works great for flying
purposes.

I once had a big old "Aviator's Chronograph" watch with four different
dials and a heading bug ring and it was way too big, heavy and
cumbersome to fool with. The massive stainless steel watchband kept
painfully ripping the hairs out of my arm too.
