 Very nice but no aeronautical slide rule instructions September 26, 2007

The watch is very nice but there are two inconvenients: numbers are very small so they are very difficult to see, and the unit that I have received has no instructions about the use of the aeronautical slide rule. Instructions only describe the basic use of the watch.

It's my second Seiko chronograph. The first I've had for nearly 15 years and is still on top condition. I love the Flight Chronograph's black dial and the stainless steel bezel. The bracelet is also SS. I can wear it with a suit our polo shirt. It's accurate which helps keep my appointments on schedule. I only take it off before I go to sleep or shower. A great improvement over the first Chronograph is its pushbuttons screws that keep moister and water out of the machine.
Good, but not a Navitimer August 18, 2007

This is a fantastic slide-rule watch for the price you're paying for it. The build quality is rock solid and the pushbuttons screw down firmly. And it has an alarm and the accuracy of quartz. The manual is a good practical introduction to using the slide rule functions.
However, it is not a Breitling Navitimer. My main gripe about the SNA411 is the design of the bezel and face. It's just too busy! It has many different scales: a compass scale, a bezel log scale, a dial log scale, a conversion scale, a tachymeter scale, and a time scale. It's difficult to make out the numbers on each scale without squinting.
Also, the 10 on the dial log scale and the bezel log scale aren't highlighted in any special color, making it hard to make out when doing multiplication/division.
But don't get me wrong: for the price (a couple hundred dollars - cheaper on eBay), this is a great watch and a fantastic deal. Frustration, sometimes, but no regrets.

I found this watch to be somewhat functional but very classy. I find it hard to use the slide bezel in flight, the numbers are hard to quickly identify; and solving equasions are better done with a paper E6-B than this product. As a ground unit I found it to be very handy but many features are overkill. This unit is very sharp looking but has some work to do in the handyness department with real world flying.
