Pilots are increasingly adopting smartwatches like the Apple Watch for their convenience in managing tasks such as the automatic tracking of time zones. While not a primary flight instrument, the device offers several built-in features and third-party applications that can serve as useful tools in the cockpit.

All recent Apple Watch models are equipped with an internal GPS and compass that can function as a backup navigation tool.
