Hello Brian:
What is the mini sextant called? How was it originally used? Accuracy
and readability? Very interesting and compact kit.
I just through away a watch (into a 5 ft snow bank) which
supposedly received timing signals........ waste of money
because it never worked consistently .
I’m going back to the $30-40 Casio “something or other”. I’m
currently using a $15 USD Timex that I correct against a time from my computer.
What is make of your watch?
Regards,
Bruce

Hello,
My complete astro kit measures 6"x4"x2", smaller than a mobile phone 20 years ago. Been everywhere.
