Default Pilot watch not a real EB6

If you want an E6b to use, buy a nice metal full or pocket

Aircraft Spruce.

If you want a watch, buy a watch, combinations of the two
are unwieldy and don't work well.

If you want to impress the girls, get a big pocket watch.




I absolutely agree. I own two watches. The E6B function built into one of them
is so small I can't use it effectively, particularly when I'm bouncing around.
If you want a watch with something useful added to it, get a diver's watch with
a unidirectional elapsed time bezel.

I've carried a shirt pocket sized metal E6B when I fly for years. You can find
one in any pilot shop.
