Perhaps John's answer is straight because it oversimplifies. The sextant wo'nt be much help without a chronometer. If you are choosing to do without electronics, a mechanical chronometer good enough for navigation will cost the price of several GPS receivers. If you choose a redundant set of cheap electronic watches, you are still relying on electronics.
