Pilot's watch

[airplane wizard]

Hi,

What is the best brand of E6-B pilots watch? Citizen, Seiko, etc??

 

[No Delay]

What's E6-B?

 

[Max Q]

Citizen Skyhawk Eco-Drive A-T

Pros:
Automatically sets itself to WWV's Atomic time in Fort Collins every morning at 2am.
Charges in sunlight.
Non glare crystal
Timer
Alarms
Chronograph
Multiple time zones
Digital and Analog display (I like this because I can have local on the analog and zulu on the the digital)
Major function over form

Cons:
Big and heavy
Ugly as sin
The cheaper department store version has non sapphire crystal and scratches easy.

Sign up for the Macy's card, get 15-20% off the purchase, pay it off immediately, then cut the card up and throw it in a fire.

Get an I-phone, find an app. As you age, you won't be able to see the numbers.

Get a timepiece not a watch.

Good: Breitling Navitimer...$3,000

Better: IWC Big Pilot's Watch...$12,000

Best: Patek Philippe World Time...$48,000

Yeah-I think I will go buy a really nice car and just keep wearing a Timex.

-Does anyone really pay this much for a freaking wristwatch? Holy crap!

I'm guilty..I bought a Breitling 4 years ago $4,200.Today that same watch sells for about $8,000..Breitlings actually increase in value.

Only airplane dorks where pilots watches.....and none of them use the E6B. Buy something that looks good, and pay attention to the woman instead of the watch. It will get you a lot further.

If you need a freakin E6B ASA sells em go buy one of those and spend your money on a Timex or Fossil.

I had a Citizen Eco Drive a long time ago with the E6B and the bezel got scratched up so i couldn't read the numbers and the bezel eventually fell off, so a lot of good that did me. Also that thing went thru batteries like crazy.

These are the best. They do the job just right. Armitron

They're useful to determine show times and other things

ECO Drives are solar they don't use batteries.

 

[say again]

Do the Flava-Flav...wear the E6-B around your neck. Chicks really dig it.
