Dear Jared,
Thanks.
I suspect that even my own Casio watch ($25) might have this
feature, but I lost the manual:-)
Anyway, there so many buttons and they are so small:-(

My main problem with time recording is putting my eyeglasses
on and off: I need eyeglasses to SEE the time on my Casio
watch, to do time
recording,
or ANY recording wharsoever, but I have to take them
off when I look into my sextant scope:-)

Forseeing some comments:
yes, I read Bruce Bauer about eyeglasses:-)

I still have more than 6 months to think about this problem
before I can
possibly go to the sea with my sextant:-)

> The trick is to memorize exactly which button to press,

Yes, this is the trick:-)
I am always afraid to RESET my watch by pressing the wrong button:-)

Actually I am contemplating buying a real genuine Russian marine
mechanical stop-watch of huge diameter,
with a split second hand,
of the sort
you can see on p. 141 in Bauer.

It is only about $120 from a Russian seller I trust,
a real thing made of metal,
much better value than a $250 software:-)

A much more ambitious project is to buy a genuine chronometer
made by Mercer. But the price sems to have jumped up
last summer on e-bay:-(

And I have no assistant:-(

Alex.
