Come on guys, brain surgery it ain't! Are we taking this all a bit too serious?
I haven't even got started.

A stop watch you can interpret QUICKLY & ACCURATELY and then not confuse when you reset!

If you want a clock work watch buyt the expensive one they are all the samre for seconds but reading the minutes cannot also be important. Simple electronic watches are accurate but have to many functions and you you doin't want to be starting the the NDB hold discovering you are trying to set the time.

Salters make some quite good kitchin timers that do all you need for IR.

But then if you are doing IR/IMC you already have a timer in the ac so why not use it. Might not be in direct line of sight but the battery doesn't go flat

I used the digital one for flying today and it was excellent.
Easy to read and reset.

Buy a cheapo egg timer type stop watch. The one I've got has buttons from 0-9 so if you dial in the time and press start it counts down. If you just press start it counts up.

Useful for timing the approach, dial in the time during the brief, press start at FAF, then when the alarm goes off, go missed.....

Only cost a couple of quid.
