This watch also has compass, baro, and altitude/temp functions. It is solar powered also with a great backlight. This watch shows both time zones when in world time mode.
Many Casio watches have these features. You need to decide what size watch you are comfortable with as many of these are over 42mm. You also need to decide if you want digital or a combi analog/digi display. This casio is about $285 online
If you want to spend around $1000 or so, you could go "old skool" like this

I can't believe none of you guys have TPE layovers and know Jammy (screw the thread a while back about customs).
I have plenty of his stuff. Of course, well, I AM a former subic guy....

Go to Wal-Mart and spend 35 bucks on a Casio world timer. Digital overlay for all the time zones and the hands (that you can see through the digital overlay) stay on your local time. And it looks like a regular watch, it's not one of the huge watches the guys with small penises wear.

UTC watch
Go to any COSTCO and check out the CASIO G-Shock series. Solar powered, world time zones, dual displays for Zulu and local time, large digital display, Atomic wave update, lightweigth, alarm, and neat night time liteup feature with the flick of the wrist. Most are very inexpensive and last a long time. I call them throwaways but they are shock resistant, waterproof, and extremely functional. If you need a big expensive watch to get chicks you should...well, anyway that is a different issue.

Actually, I don't wear a watch unless I'm at work then I wear the $35 one (very small) from Wal-Mart. I bought one in HKG and one at Wal-Mart. Price is about the same. Being a Bus guy I'm guessing your watch is HUGE
