Well, I only use the airplane's clock in flight, and there's precious

function at all, though I probably would have one if the airplane didn't
have one for flying instruments.

The Boeings have nice clocks although like you said, they dont get
used much. All the holds are DME based and I cant remember the last
time anyone here timed an approach. I do wear a $30 timex, but thats
just to make sure I show up on time. It is actually a whatch someone
on this list recomended (I knew I wasnt just waisting my time on this
list).

the average quartz movement is at least 5 times the accuracy of the

quartz with a limibright dial face does it for me.
