A simply-styled, digital readout
Digital watches don't give you time appreciation.
I have watched many a student, passed and present struggle to get a quick estimation of time from a digital watch.

Hence, the watch required by the FAA to be powered by the aircraft must have sweeping hands.

Also, in the UK, there used to be a time (maybe still now) where a PIC had to wear a watch, I also believe with sweeping hands.

Farrell; I look forward to seeing your T5 some times soon
