Default Pilots(?!?) wrist watch with IATA codes

Model name "Traveler CL1-1111" from UK brand "No-Watch". What you think about this watch?

I like the coin edge bezel and large crown. The rest of it is too busy. Is it a mechanical?

I have to agree that JFK should be there instead of HAV.. just looks weird. Other than that, not too bad.. If they could make it a little bit cleaner or white or silver dial that would be nice. I guess just make it more modern.

Terrible.

Useless for a pilot, unless you care only about the Hour, not minutes and seconds.

And the "pilot" in the picture: it's backwards. Look at the buttons on his coat.

Alarm clock? Date? Not that I can see.

Novelty item; OK for a tourist. But not a pilot.

I know that the model with a silver color dial will be available in end 2015 or early 2016.

It's definitely for a tourist. Leather band can't be removed quickly going through security.
