These days, I'd have trouble reading a full size whizz wheel, let alone something mounted on a watch dial. Citizen watches with built in whizz wheels are much more affordable but still suffer from legibility issues. The only three features I really need on my Garmin are the UTC display, day/date and the ability to synchronize the time using Bluetooth. I could probably get these features on a Casio for half the price.
