Default Best Pilot Watch for $100?

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


I received a considerable bit of jocular harassment from some friends for
purchasing a rather large digital watch for flying. I have an "aviation"
style analog watch that just wasn't doing anything for me.

I couldn't be happier with the digital choice... Press a button to switch
between 12 & 24 hour time, press another button once for Zulu time, a
second time for a stop watch, a third time for a programmable count down
timer (it's my fuel timer) and in a dark cockpit, press another button and
the display lights up brightly for 4 seconds.

I consider it a tool, not a fashion statement.
