Just keep in mind with your watch purchase that the size and complexity of your watch can be viewed as inversely proportional to the pilots ability
Slightly sweeping statement! I happen to wear a breitling emergency, I didn't buy it though, my wife did but I'm very happy to have it. After racing my little 0-200 engine at 3500rpm for a week in Spain I can't think of a better watch to have on my wrist for the flight home over the Pyrenees. Pretty sure it doesn't make me any less of a pilot for wearing it.
Prior to that I had some cheap Casio job with big clear hands that glow in the dark and a rubber strap which doesn't get scuffed or absorb fuel or oil.
Wear what works for you basically, if anyone thinks your any less of a pilot because you have a big fancy watch then thats their issue.
