Default Are there any "pilot" watches that are actually helpful for pilots?

For the people who have flown, have any of you found a watch with any
special features that actually helped you in performing your piloting
tasks?


Here's a wris****ch you can wear in the vacuum of space:

The Omega Speedmaster was the first watch to be worn on the Moon
with Apollo 11. In April 1970, it was used to manually time the
secondary rocket burns to bring the crippled Apollo 13 spacecraft
back to Earth.
