Default Airport Friendly Watches
I'm just going through training right now and would like to find a watch that I don't have to take off everytime I go through security.

I'm looking for suggestions, I would like a watch that looks similar to these.
Timex Men's 1440 Digital Sports Watch | Overstock.com

1...will this watch set off the security?

2...Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

Plastic Casio from Walmart. I've never had a problem.

Timex Navigator from Walmart. $25. 3 alarms, no problems in security. Scraped up my nice watch on the tiller - no worries about a cheap watch (and it keeps better time).

I wear a Hamilton Air Race and it never sets it off. I believe it will depend on your other metal. I walk through almost all detectors with my watch, metal wings, metal ink pen, and belt buckle. Rarely set off the detector. If I do, the belt comes off before the watch.
