Citizen Navihawk/Skyhawk: How to Use the Slide Rule Bezel



Slide rule math question?


I have a new Citizen Skyhawk watch with a slide rule bezel on it and I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of videos on how to use the bezel for everyday equations. I read the manual and understand a few of the ways but there are so many functions possible. I want to learn as much about it as possible without having to refer to the manual every ten minutes.

I wanted to see if there is a pattern to the outside / inside of the slide. I understand it is a logarithm but I want to see it in action a few times. So if you know where these type videos would be please let me know as youtube does not have them. Thank you. Best video gets best answer.
And please dont post a useless answer like katy below. The USAF uses slide rules in the flight deck of aircraft. She obviously has not been to a watch store lately....or atleast in a few decades. My question is on where to find videos not an opinion on them.

Try your local math lab at your University, There should always be someone there that will be more than happy to help you with it.
