The ironman watch thread prompted this question.
What is a good timer to use for keeping track of turns that:
1. I can use for the rest of my flying career, not just for training and check ride.
2. Large numbers
My plane has an analog clock and as confident as I was that I could do my times according to it, my Pattern A ended up 90 degrees off when I finished.
I never wear a watch and even if I did I think glancing at my wrist to count 15 seconds or 75 would be cumbersome. So the ironman isn't my first choice. Plus I saw a $10 watch at academy with very large stopwatch numbers.
My iphone stopwatch app would be good except that the numbers are too small, especially when counting time on a new lap.
So I'm considering a stopwatch with a Velcro back.
But what do you use or recommend?
