Can a watch be used as a timepiece during operations?

Using a watch as a timepiece during operations is permissible without restrictions. This means personnel can rely on watches, whether analog or digital, to keep track of time accurately while performing their duties. The flexibility in allowing any type of watch enhances operational efficiency by ensuring that crews can monitor time and adhere to schedules as needed. It’s essential for operational safety and communication that teams have a reliable means of tracking time, and watches serve this function effectively in various environments, not limited to specific locations or types. Other regulations may specify instruments for timekeeping, but there are no general prohibitions against using personal watches in operations.
