>I am no fighter pilot, but I (used to) fly airplanes, floatplanes and helicopters. A watch with a 12 day battery life makes little sense to me as I find it too easy to forget to charge it. Even if you put it on a checklist, it may be too late to charge it when you are about to go.

Whereas a watch with a 24hr battery makes more sense?

I'd say, if you're to forget it, you are to forget it, whether it holds a 24h or 12 days...

And if you're doing an emergency landing and/or you're stranded somewhere, you'll want to have that 12 day watch with you, not the 24h one...
