I have the Citizen Wingman VI. I like it very much. If you set it to the
digital time mode, you can activate the back light by pressing any button.

I love the 31 time zones, and dial in the right one when traveling. It
beats
trying to reset the watch constantly. I use the UTC zone when flying.

I must say, the really cute E6B bezel is useless, and totally impossible
to
see in the air. After a few years of walking into walls, there are lots of
missing paint spots on the bezel.

I cannot hear the alarm in a quiet room, let alone a noisy plane.



Hey! If you have an extra $14,000, you can get a nice Breitling Emergency
with a built in ELT!!

More like $4,000 :-)

When flying IFR, my Westbend Kitchen Timer ($12 at Wal*mart) velcrowed to
my
yoke is great. Those BIG numbers are easy to see.

Look at the Citizen Navitach watches. They do almost everything you
need (no vibrating) and look nicer than your average $30 timex. They
usually go for less then $100 on eBay. If you can find one of the
Citizen "Wingman" watches, they are the same as the Navitach but add
an E6B to the bezel (but I think the Wingman looks a bit clunky).
