Now that we've discussed brands and prices in another thread, here's what I want my watch to do for me and why.
1. Time keeping - A minute a month is adequate, and easy to achieve. Lighted dial is almost mandatory.
2. Day & Date - after a week of 12 hour days, and shift work (without seeing the sun) it's nice to know these two things to keep my internal clock set.
3. Alarm - Let's me know when to go.
4. Countdown timer - I don't use it often, but is nice to have on occasion so I don't have to alter the alarm all the time.
5. Stop Watch - not real important to me.
My tdy watch is a Casio Alti-Thermo. Its got all of the above plus barometer for WX forcasting, temp measurement, and Altimeter (working toy).
I also go tdy with more than one watch by habit.
What about the rest of you? How do you feel about data-banks, built in compasses, games, and the like? -Brian
