Frequently Asked Questions

What watches do pilots wear?

Pilots wear aviation watches built for precision, durability, and quick reference in the cockpit, including E6B slide-rule watches, chronographs, GPS aviation smartwatches such as the Garmin D2 series, and rugged sensor watches like the Casio G-Shock.

How often should a pilot watch be serviced?

A mechanical pilot watch should be serviced roughly every three to five years to maintain accuracy and water resistance, while solar and quartz models generally need less frequent attention.

Can I finance a pilot watch?

Yes. You can split the cost of a pilot watch like the Garmin D2 Mach 2 or a Citizen Promaster over smaller payments at checkout with Shop Pay Installments or Affirm, subject to eligibility. It is an easy way to get the watch you want now and pay over time.

What is the best value pilot watch?

For a do-everything analog backup, the solar Citizen Promaster Skyhawk A-T delivers an E6B bezel and atomic timekeeping without ever needing a battery. For wrist navigation on a budget, the Garmin D2 Air X15 is the easiest entry into GPS aviation smartwatches, and the Casio G-Shock line is the rugged, lower-cost sensor option. Check current pricing on each product page.

Should I get a GPS smartwatch or an analog pilot watch?

Choose a GPS aviation smartwatch like the Garmin D2 series for moving-map navigation, direct-to, weather, and automatic flight logging on your wrist. Choose an analog E6B or chronograph watch like a Citizen Promaster for a battery-free backup instrument and classic looks. Many pilots own one of each. Compare them in the table above.
