So why not just buy a watch, not a display item status symbol? My watch cost £99 and reliably gives the time and date.

When I'm off duty I'm no longer a pilot and prefer not to advertise it. I only want to know the time, not let everyone think my watch is probably bigger than my d!!k.

:p

That much? Mine cost £35 and was a gift from my mum six years ago. I won't be attracting any chicks with my piece. :rolleyes:

Casio Protrek Compass Watch
 
I have the Casio Protrek Compass Watch,

This watch i recommend, and is very accurate whilst flying any unpressurised aircraft and from my experience whilst flying a piper warrior 161 is very accurate to that on the altimeter, it also gives direction, barometric pressure and temperature readouts.

You can buy it from the Flightstore pilot shop! They also sell this in argos!!

Heres the links: http://www.flightstore.co.uk/prod/PROTREK/Brands/casio/

Hopefully you can fit looking at all the gimmicks on the watch into a good lookout scan.... what's wrong with the aircraft instruments?
