I’m in the middle of my IFR training and have been looking for a watch for holds and timed legs. I have a real problem forgetting the timer or excluding it from my scan when I’m doing a hold entry while descending and talking to ATC, and can’t mount anything in the plane. Bought an Apple watch, and while the vibrating alarm on my wrist is what I need, there’s some usability issues that I just can’t get over. From what I can tell, the watch will always go to sleep in 70 seconds requiring me to press the watch face to view my time when on a long timed leg, the timer won’t count up after it reaches zero, and while a timer is running, I can’t set up another timer (for if I’m in a hold but have a timed leg coming up). Guess I’m being picky about this, but really trying to reduce my workload in the cockpit so I can be confident passing the checkride. Anyone have any recommendations for a vibrating watch that has actual good usability for IFR timing?
