    Re: The ultimate navigation watch?

    For Gary

    Here's two online listings for a sidereal watch.

    An antique:

    A 'modern production' item

    As long term NavListers may recall, my vote for the ideal watch is one which has the rattrapante feature.  If you care to look it up you will find it has a broad class of features associated with celestial navigation

    What's ""cool"" to one person might be dull as dirt to another.

    Otherwise, I've found the following. Casio's G-Shock digital watch, includes a stop watch function, Greenwich time and some other functions I have not delved into, serves quite well, and maintains accurate time. Checked against NIST/Naval Observatory Time, the Casio seems dead on.

    I don't know what the price is these days, but when I purchased mind at Amazon, no business connection with either Casio or Amazon, it went for around $50, this was several years ago.
