>> A pilot s must have
I am very glad I bought this watch I hesitated because of the numerous complains about the touch 1st generations problems on the internet but this watch is the 4th generation I guess and from what I read all those problems are now solved
Besides I have a coworker who has had the touch for 7 years now and he gave me the last reason just to buy this wonderful watch the watch is awesome it has so many features and it is so cool that many people is just playing and giving the watch numerous inputs so the watch goes nuts
I received the watch in a gorgeous box with numerous accessories like a nice soft bag to keep the watch in your desk while I work in the back yard a book with the history of TISSOT user s manual catalogue warranty etc etc it came nicely packed with airbags inside and double box from AMAZON
The watch is smaller than the CASIO protrek 80T it has basically the same functions but it has some I like better for a PILOT like me
1 first I have to wake up really early in the mornings so with the Casio I had to turn on the backlight with my tissot has fluorescent minute and hour hands and markings
2 I can have the local time with hands and the ZULU or GMT on the LCD display A must HAVE for pilots
3the temperature setting is very interesting while with the Casio I had to adjust my body temperature to the watch he just calculated temperature differences from the pre set temperature with my tissot there is no adjustments to make and it also shows the temperature plus my body temperature increment but once I remove my TISSOT for about 15 to 20 minutes while I shave or bath it shows me the real temperature like a mercury thermometer
3 the red back light is gorgeous
4 azimuth and compass with the possibility to adjust the magnetic declination NICE
5 a precise altimeter
6 I checked numerous times the progress of my watch compared with a GPS and online US official time and it keeps steady while CASIO misses the official time for about 2 seconds every 3 days
7 gorgeous strap and safety lock
DOWNFALLS
easy to scratch the titanium box not a 4x4 like the Casio
not a pressure reading in HG inches of mercury as in US and Latin America many countries still use HG for aviation
everything else is the perfect watch for a pilot right now I wouldn t buy a Rolex so pricey jut to read the time but I would keep my Casio just for the back yard working or things like that
