I recently replaced my three-year-old Timex Ironman "midsize" at
Campmor for $14.95. (Okay, twenty bucks with shipping.)

This is my third iteration of this watch. It began as a Youth watch,
but evidently boys will no longer buy things called Youth. (I have
skinny wrists.) I figured it was overdue for a battery and a band, and
it was cheaper to buy new than to update.

It has two time zones, 24 hour option, and easy to read figures. What
else does a pilot need?

(It also has an alarm, but I now use my cellphone for that. More and
more, I'm told, the children no longer wear wris****ches, but instead
rely on their phones for that information.)

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?
