Citizen Eco-Drive SkyHawk

In flight, I don't use it much at all! However, it does have some invaluable functions.

I bought it for the multiple time zones..very useful to be able to switch from one to another without having to reset the base GMT.

Multiple alarms are also useful. Can work as a sort of snooze alarm function.

Countdown timer is great for setting the start of sailing races, or timing eggs.

I like the fact that it is solar-powered...should in theory last for ever, and very useful indeed if stuck on desert island for a few years.

Occasionally use the slide rule 'rotating bezel' for approximations, but the calculator in the cockpit works much better!

I miss having a light.
