My ideal navigation watch would be digital rather than analog at any price. The eye/mind can mure easily err with reading the analog watch, or so my experience has shown me. Most of my sights are taken ashore so I think the digital readout would be even more benficial at sea. Movement,spray, cramped positions and the need to hold on all would make distractions that may misslead the eye. The watch face has numbers every 5 seconds and in between it's a judgement call. My earliest sights were with analog and I often had to re-do the sights when my eye missed the time. Give me a digital readout every time.
