Hi,

Looking at getting myself a new watch. I use a Garmin Instinct currently for everyday life and flying, but would like my next watch to be dressy as well as useful in the cockpit. I realize the answer to this is one of Garmin’s own flight watches, however I’m wanting to keep it analog.

I understand E6B watch bezels are not too useful. Tachymeter watches also don’t seem popular.

What about compass bezel watches with 0-360° headings? Does anyone find it useful to bug a heading on these? Perhaps you bugged a runway heading on the plane but want to bug a crosswind as well?

How about chronograph watches with timer/stopwatch?

Seems like there are a lot of options out there. I’m really just trying to find a battery-less option (Citizen Eco-Drive, most likely), preferably with sapphire crystal that has useful cockpit features. Preferred $500 max.
