Default Best Pilot Watch for $100?

I purchased one of the vibrating watches from Sporty's Pilot Shop
($75). This is more likely to get my attention for fuel tank changes
(PA28) than the twin timer I was using. The timer is just barely
audible with headphones and my slight loss of hearing at higher
frequencies.

The one I purchased is a Vibralight 3 with dual time zone, 2x timer
and 2x alarms. Makes quite a good noise on a wooden bedside cabinet
when using the alarm.

My trusty Timex Expedition has finally died, after years of faithful
service. Although it had many features I liked, it was missing a few
things that would be nice in the plane. (Zulu time, for example.)

What's the group-think on this? What watch do you wear/recommend?
