Since you are a pilot, I'd love to hear your thoughts about a remark I read in a very interesting interview a while back, with Jeff Kingston: he mentioned a true, practical, pilot's watch would have to be a chrono, to make timing intervals easier, which got me thinking, as that isn't how I've always viewed pilot's watches.

The rest of the interview, which I really recommend, can be found here:

I only got my licence last year but I think he is correct. elapsed time is important as when using a paper chart you would calculate heading and an estimate of time for that leg. so a chrono makes that much easier.

as usual technology trumps the old methods so I use a program called Skydemon for navigation. but tend to use the stopwatch function on my speedy to record fuel tank change elapsed time as a backup.
