Yep, very useful... it saved my rear a few times back in my jumper flying days... now the computers tell me everything.

I've had my Nighthawk for three years now and it hasn't failed me yet. Normal day to day, this is my daily beater, rotated with my Seiko Flightmaster. For special occasions, my Breitling Navitimer will be found on my wrist.

Me too. They run about $6-8 bucks/watch. I've got three. One black, one brown & one saddle color band.

Just less than 3G. I like it better than my Pepsi Rolex which will be for sale soon (my wrist is too small for it).

Citizen Eco Drive Skyhawk with a titanium band. I've been wearing it for almost five years and I love the thing.
