Default Best Pilot Watch for $100?

What watch do you wear/recommend?

Heck, Jay, if you can add and subtract the number six, you don't need
zulu time. (If not, use the fingers on one hand and the thumb on the
other.)

I'm trying to recall if you fly ifr. If you do, dependable accuracy is
the most important quality, IMHO, so your time always corresponds to
ATC's time. Taking off one minute after your clearance expires is a no-no.

Being easy to read at night is important if you fly at night.

Bells and whistles are not really necessary but a stopwatch feature is a
luxury for timing approaches. Easier to use than the clock on the panel.

About five yeas ago I bought a Pulsar, a low-priced Seiko, for about
$60, from Heartland America. It keeps time to within two or three
seconds a month.
