Casio FTW100D-7V


I have this one, not a "pilot watch" per se, but very useful. I like it for the following reasons:
  • Digital
  • Atomic Timekeeping- sets itself to the atomic clock in Ft. Collins, CO
  • Sunrise/Sunset Data - So you can easily check to see when you can start logging night landings
  • Auto Backlight with Afterglow- you can see it at night without having to press any buttons on the watch
  • World Time- 29 times zones (30 cities), city code display, daylight saving auto/on/off
  • 12/24 Hour Formats
  • Solar power- it recharges itself
  • It was only $35.
It also has the standard alarm, stopwatch, water resistance, etc. But I find it useful for those reasons.
