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?


I just went through this exercise (see "Best Pilot Watch for $100")
and here's what I chose:

Here's my description from that earlier thread:

For those who may be in the market for a decent pilot watch, this
Timex Expedition is the best one I could find with all the features I
wanted, for a reasonable ($54) price.

It's got dual (actually triple) time with Zulu time accessible at the
push of a button, countdown and -up timers, several reminder alarms,
a
built-in digital compass (that actually seems to work), and it's all
easily readable with my old(er) eyes.


Kind geting off topic - but does the count down timer have a count down /
repeat mode?

I hate spending that much on a watch (I've lost more than one overboard) but
this one sounds decent...
