Greetings, I am planning on buying an inexpensive wristwatch that will be set to gmt, uct and would like to hear what others on the list recommend. My current wristwatch is a suunto vector but is a pain as it has no zero set for seconds and really doesnt display seconds anyway instead they use a moving 3 block thingy which is only an approximation. One specific thing the watch should have is the button to start seconds at the wwv minute tone. Display of time to the second is required and date is also desirable with digital display the preference. Any other opinions would be welcome but I cant spend a lot at this time (under 1 or 2 hundred dollars) I use the sextant alone so a stopwatch function would be great but may just get that as a separate instrument. Note: I have gps but that would be cheating.
