Citizen C460

I've recently picked up one of these Citizen C460 for £80 from HSamuel.

Battery life if estimated at 2+ years (its not eco-drive), its easily read with a slide rule that isn't perfect but not too bad. Analogue is luminous, digital is back lit. I've never used a slide rule before starting PPL training, so this lets me practice all the time! It fits my wrist and the build quality is excellent.

Thought about altimeter / thermometer but couldn't work out when I'd use them. Linking to the timing radio signal sounded good but don't know when I'd need that accuracy. Saw some cheaper ones from other manufacturers but they either looked cheap or were very deep, looking silly on my wee wrist. I've no need for "bling" for the sake of my ego.

Have had it now about a month with no noticeable timing error. Works for me!
