Illegible pilot's watch?
There's nothing about this piece that shouts legibility, and the choice of color gradient would make it jarring for me to read in the cockpit.

I'm a flight instructor with a healthy obsession with watches of all shapes and prices.

Seems legible to me. I just used the clock on the panel or the ipad back when I flew.

I like the iPad mini over its larger variant, keeps me from having to use a kneeboard.

Oh yeah, I had a mini on a Ram mount stuck to the windshield. I barely fit in anything I flew so the kneeboard was never a great option. Haha.

Yeah I barely fit in the 172s I teach in.

The 182 my dad and I used to have was okay but the 1948 170 was the last thing I flew. We recently sold it so I am airplaneless.

Love those two aircraft. I think I'd rather have a boat at this point.

I dont know. I like them but I have a few old chronos I wear. I have an old Tissot that I need to have serviced.
I think "professional" watches actually are made for cosplay only... Sorry

I see your point. There's always a cheaper and more efficient way to tell time other than complicated mechanical pieces.

You seem hard to please, sir. Didn't you knock the Navi earlier today for too much clutter? And this is not legible enough?
This is made so you can feel it if you have a hard time reading it? Something to consider? 😜
