Review:
I do like it a lot!!!! It is very unique, and it goes with anything I wear, summery, of course, as I choose the white version. The only backdraw from my side is that the numbers are to small to read. But, considering my age -:), and the fact that I did not really buy it to "use" it as a replacement for the existing instruments whilst flying, I love it. It's not a tool, it's a statement!!!!
I hope this helps you all, and I send my best regards from ATL. PS... Your customer service rocks; not because of this survey, but on how you handled any buy I did so far. I truly feel very well taken care of by your people/company. Thank you.

Pros: price, function, style

Review:
I bought this watch in white for my wife's birthday and she absolutely loves it and wears it all the time now. It arrived in a beautiful box with an easy manual on how to use the slide rule. And it was already set to our time zone - a very nice touch.

Classy and Professional
By Laura

Pros: Everything
Cons: If wrist is very small, may have some diificulty
Review:
This watch was a gift from my parents for my high school graduation. As a young pilot and aviation addict, it was the most incredible present I could have ever hoped for! And a total shock as I had never seen women's flight watches before. I had admired the watches of my male pilot friends and wished for my own, but feminine and functional. This watch gives any female pilot the functionality of a flight watch, with the sleek, classy style we so deserve. Thank you Abingdon for this amazing product! Note: Quality is FANTASTIC!

Love it

Pros: Feminine and stylish pilot watch
Cons: White band gets dirty easily and needs constant cleaning
Review:
Purchased this watch for my daughter who is completing flight school. She loves having a functional E6B watch that is feminine looking rather than the typical Pilot, bulky masculine look. This is a watch she can wear for any occasion. It is functional for flying and stylish and for personal wear. The minute hand came loose after just a couple of weeks but mypilotstore replaced it promptly and we have had no problem with the replacement.

Great Gift for anyone

Pros: Easy readable watch face
Cons: Larger
Review:
This was a gift for my non-pilot Girlfriend and she loved it. For a normal size person this is a great size the watch is easily worn with many different out-fits. Although if you buy this watch I recommend that they not wear it to do a lot of out side work its that nice.

I'd recommend this watch to other female pilots
By Hazel
from Cranwell Lincolnshire United Kingdom
on Wednesday, October 30, 2013
Pros: Nicely "girlie" for a female pilot and good luminous hands! (although the hands need "charging up" first.
Cons: Being in the UK, the date function clicks over at the wrong time and I ahev to keep manually changing it. You did not mention the customs cost on your site for overseas customers. We need to kinow that to take that into account when purchasing the item.
Review:
Being in the UK, the date function clicks over at the wrong time and I have to keep manually changing it. Its great having a leather strap rather than the more usual metal pilots watch strap, and also a colourful one rather than a plan black/silver. I haven't yet used the whizz wheel element on the face or used it in anger as it were flying but with the large figures, it should be good.
[Reply from MyPilotStore: It sounds like you just need to move the clock ahead 12 hours so that the date flips at the right time. Based on your description, it sounds like the date flips at noon instead of midnight]

Beautiful but a little heavy
By Amy
from Oak Creek WI USA
on Tuesday, October 23, 2012
Pros: Beautiful
Cons: Weight, E6B VERY small, hands don't glow
Review:
This watch is beautiful but it is a little heavy and tends to spin on my wrist if not tightly adjusted. It's not the easiest to set the date/time but once done, it's fine. Also (as others have said) the hands don't glow. I'm still very happy with it and would purchase it again.

Great! But could be outstanding
By A Customer

Pros: Zulu time, date, E6B is accurate, well balanced design, small for an aviator watch
Cons: E6B rotating crown needs to be on the right side not left side.
Review:
I love the size and simplicity. I am a female student pilot, so the K.I.S.S. styling is great for me. I'm loving the Zulu time function and the date window. The E6B bezel is accurate and I use it for calculations on the ground-it loses its practicality in the cockpit environment for a newbe like me. I can't stand having the E6B rotating crown on the opposite side from my free hand. It is awkward to use without removing the watch. Also, I notice a bit of slippage when I use the rotating bezel-it doesn't quite "catch" and rotate each time I use it. It seems to have a freer movement when I take it off my wrist to use it. The stainless steel accents are very aesthetically pleasing and they catch the light adding some shine to the watch. The luminous clock ticks and hands are very easy to see in the dark. The alligator watch band is well-made, comfortable and balances the design perfectly. The sapphire crystal "glass"cover hasn't gotten a single scratch and I've knocked it around a bit-no scratches either. It stays shiny and smudge-free. The beautiful logo is tastefully used as accents throughout the design.
