Suggestions?

A few cfi's i know have the citizen one, that is like 300 bucks.
They like it, but it's bulky

I received a Citizen Navihawk as a gift about six years ago. It looks
impressive. Having Zulu time in the digital window and local time on
the analog face is convenient. The alarms are nice but not loud
enough to hear in a cockpit. I had to have it cleaned after one year
because the main function button quit working. The same thing
happened in another year. And a year later it happened again and
couldn't be fixed so Citizen gave me a new watch under warranty. The
same thing happened with the new watch. I would not buy another
Citizen.

Previously I had two Casio $39 watches that lasted about six to eight
years each with no service except for new batteries,

One night at a hotel where many airline crews overnighted a captain
had to pee, and slightly drunk, opened the door to the hallway instead
of the bathroom and locked himslef out of his room. Naked, and in
panic he knocked on the room next door.

The Flight Attendent in that room looked through the peephole and
seeing the naked man, picked up the telephone and called the front
desk, "There's a naked man outside my door" she cried.

"Does he have a little dick and a big watch?" asked the front desk.

"Why yes" the Flight Attendent answered.

"It's just a pilot" relied the front desk.
