Thanks for the info and opinions on the watches! And special thanks to Mike
Rapoport for an interesting discussion on pressurization!

I've been off looking for a good aviation watch. I've looked at Citizen
Skyhawk watches, which look cool, but they don't have a backlight, which I
thought would be bad (good?) for flying at night. And I've seen some
others that are all digital, but I like having the hands for a timer. And
I
found one that vibrates, which I thought would be really handy for
switching
tanks and things, but it didn't have hands. So, I was wondering, what
would
everyone like to see as a minimum set of features in an ideal watch?
Here's
my list -

1) Analog hands and second hand for timing things
2) Digital clock set to Zulu time so I don't have to bother my small brain
with those pesky conversions
3) Backlight so I can see it when I'm flying at night
4) Vibrating alarm so I remember to do routine things like switch tanks.
5) Nifty E6B ring around the outside that I really can't see, but really
impresses the chicks at the bar

What say you?
