Letter FROM Santa!

Have a Citizen Navihawk in use now for several years. Analog+digital (dual)
time, several useful options. Not cheap but I can recommend it.

The dude offered to leave a "pilots" watch under the tree for me!

But need to know what would be most suitable!

What should I suggest! (brand / model etc. )

I got the same watch as a gift from my wife 7-8 years ago (Blue Angels
edition) I think she paid $250 for it - classy looking watch and not
too "wannabe" looking **thank god** but the rotating flight computer
bezel is totally unusable IMO. I have the analog set to local time and
the digital set to Zulu time.

Santa brought me one last year, unannounced, unrequested. It's one of the
Torgoen models that you see advertised in all the catalogs. Turns out it
wasn't very expensive and it's a fairly simple watch. 4 hands. Hour,
Minute, Second, and GMT. Nothing more. It's big enough to read at a
glance, numbers are huge, and everything glows in the dark. I love it.
Often tell Santa it's one of the best Christmas gifts she's given me.

I recently bought a Casio G-Shock Waveceptor. Solar powered, atomic.

I don't have to wind it. I don't have to replace batteries. I don't have to
set it. It even changed to EST from EDT at the correct time.

Cost me $69. It's got big enough numbers for me to read, and has a
backlight.

I as much a cheap ******* as the next guy :) but I'm not gonna look a
gifted horse in the mouth. I bought a simple Timex for myself when I
was single, had a Real Rolex once (a gift from a middle-eastern friend
who asked for it back and pawned it while we were loosing our arse in
Vegas). The Timex still worked up to a few years ago, if I shake it,
it is one 'o them that you have to keep in motion to wind-up. The
housing(plated cast zinc I believe) got all corroded and wifey finally
threw it out w/o my knowledge.

Good luck on March 11, 2007.

lol...my thoughts exactly.

I love Daylight Saving Time. I wish we had it all year 'round.

But adding six weeks of DST per year for the purpose of saving an
inconsequential amount of oil is ridiculous, especially given how many
time-aware devices will either have to be fixed, or are simply unfixable.

If they had said "we just like having the light an hour later for longer", I
could buy that. But instead, they pretend they're doing something useful,
while actually creating a huge amount of work and headaches for a wide
variety of people and industries.

Ugh.

I have the Eco-drive SKYHAWK Citizen. It performed poorly until I got
glasses.

Doesn't matter for atomic clocks. The sender in Colorado sends out the correct
time, with the appropriate DST change: http://tf.nist.gov/timefreq/stations/wwvb.htm

I have the Blue Angels edition of that watch. I love the fact that you
never have to replace the battery. Also, the ease with which you can
change time zones without changing the zulu time dial is great.

I too have the Blue Angel edition of the Skyhawk Eco-Drive and I am
happy with it.
