Everyone who's look at my watch likes it. I'm very happy w/ it.


Yes, but can you tell what time it is at a glance?

In my experience, every so-called "pilot's watch" does a great job of
doing everything but telling time.

I finally opted for a simple Timex Expedition, with a nice, bold blue
analog face, big white numbers, glow-in-the-dark hands, and the digital
day/date/timer/dual time window.

With a light, of course. Thirty bucks, indestructible, and I can tell
what time it is at a glance.


That's the one I have, and you're certainly right about the "indestructible"
part! :~)

A few years ago my wife bought me a Pulsar Pilots Chronograph. Probably
about $350 or so. E6B dial, the works. The numbers and all are so small as
to be unreadable. I wear it for everything EXCEPT flying.
