Twaddle. The full E-6B Flight Confuser is far too large for any
watch. You may well have a circular slide rule with a couple of scales,
but it's no more a E-6B than a grid dip oscillator is a IFR 1200 CSM.

You would be less confused, Ludwig, if you didn't use an E6B you got by
return of mail for two buck and six off-brand cola tops.

Whether Citizen or Breitling have a right to call their rotary bezel
flight computers an E-6B, you can take that up with them. For my part,
I am so well satisfied that I have bought several of the products of
each and have no complaints.

More about a couple of my watches on my netsite. I'd write more about
watches but it means sharing with people like Ludwig. On the whole,
better to be silent.

Do you have any musical experiences to share, Ludwig? If not, feel
welcome to bugger off out of my thread.
