Letter FROM Santa!

I've been flying for 10 years and never understood the need for a pilot
watch. A garden variety digital watch has everything you need. One
feature that I look for is a push button on the face instead of its
side to turn the backlight on. Timex CR1620 has this. It cost $40. It
also has a digital compass, which at first sight may appear to be
useful, but it is useless.

"I have the Blue Angels edition of that watch".

This one seems to best bang (or "tick)" for the buck...

I don't care for the blue/yellow thing, but from the pix I
have, I think it would be easier to read the bezel, (white on blue)
than the all metal surface of the standard model..

Anybody like to comment on this?

Thanks to all who responded!

I have the Blue Angels edition of that watch. I love the fact that you
never have to replace the battery. Also, the ease with which you can
change time zones without changing the zulu time dial is great.


I too have the Blue Angel edition of the Skyhawk Eco-Drive and I am
happy with it.
