Citizen Men's Promaster Air Skyhawk Eco-Drive Pilot Watch, Atomic Timkeeping

I wanted a black watch for daily wear that I was casual, but nicer than for yard work, hanging out in the garage and puttering. This fits the bill perfectly, elegant but not suit-and-tie day; even though the Promaster Air Skyhawk would work for that too. I have owned this watch for over a month before reviewing. The dials glow quite brightly in the dark after being outside and I like the blue color. I have a Carty quick release watch strap that I also put on the watch for when I am outside swimming, or the Wife wants to wear the watch. (She likes that she can read the dial without her glasses on.) I wish all watches came with quick change straps. Looks good with both straps. I don’t need all the functions for fuel calculation, but I like atomic timekeeping. Both my Seiko atomic and Citizen atomic watches tick to the exact second, love at first sight. I like the orange accent colors on the watch, at first, I wasn’t sure I would like the subtle splash of color. I bought a band with orange stitching, and it looks great. Sorry I’m not the best photographer with my non-dominant hand. I’m left-handed but took photos with my right. Keep your eye out for amazon sales as the price for this watch can fluctuate by $100.00’s any given week. My only complaint is the strap. You do have one hole to micro-adjust the strap size in the clasp. At the cost point of this watch, it should be a given. I have large wrists but not like some of my friends that are well over 6’. I had to remove one link for proper fit, but they would need a few extra links. I’m sure Citizen would send you a link or two if needed but at this price point, they should include a few in the box. Don’t get me wrong, I like the watch and it’s a keeper. Hope the black finish lasts a long time. I had a Seiko with black Ti coating that looked good for over 10 years of wear. I’ll see how the Citizen watch holds up.

Love my pro master Skyhawk best watch out there. It’s extremely durable love the solar power.

I'm a Navy and Army vet, and have 10 other high quality watches I've fallen in love with and still wear on an alternating basis. I now have a new favorite among them, so much so that I've stopped rotating them in as much. This watch looks extremely cool, has all the features I need (including an alarm, which other versions of this watch do not have--plus it's solar powered with a charge meter and features I'd need to look up in a pilot's manual or on YouTube to learn to use, though they seem easy enough if you're an actual pilot), and it feels great on the wrist. I've been wearing it to the office for a couple of months now, with no problems and no discoloration of any sort. Very happy with this purchase. I haven't gotten any "pilot wanna-be" looks as its very well designed and gives an overall military/high-end classy appearance thanks to its immaculate design. Love this watch! If I had to give up all of my watches and keep just one, this would be the one!

**Don't listen to the negative comments. I'll explain why below. This thing is amazing and is more precise at telling time than your cell phone. This is my 2nd citizen watch now and I am glad I upgraded from the "luxury" fossil models of relic and diesel. Heck some citizens are cheaper than the overpriced diesel watches. In my opinion switching to citizen is worth the money for the craftsmanship alone. This watch looks amazing. I wish it was a couple mm bigger case size but it's perfect where it's at 46mm, any smaller I wouldn't have bought it. I get why some people say it's too hard to read, but c'mon now. The people who are using all the other features aside from the basics of clock reading and maybe the chronograph stop watch aire going to be actual airplane pilots who have good eyesight. I can also understand how some say it's hard to setup, but they give you clear cut instructions for every aspect of the watch. I found it very easy to setup your home and local times. Also, I feel setting the thing up and learning how to use all the features is the fun part. It's like buying a new car and playing around with the instructions, knobs, levers, and figuring everything out. It's fun! I want to learn this watch inside-out. I don't understand people complaining. If you wanted a watch that is easy and basic to use, easy to read, etc... why didn't you just buy a basic chronograph? I don't understand and I feel the people complaining shouldn't be, it's their fault they bought the complicated watch. Flat out. If they complained about the style or the watch having issues, then I would understand the complaint. Otherwise it's their fault, they knew what they were getting into when purchasing. My favorite feature is the atomic timing. It's pretty cool watching the thing adjust and set itself down to the second. Date, savings time, etc...itnall.does it on its own once you figure out what setting to choose and button to hit. And again, you learn how all this stuff works by reading the written instructions and watching vids. You can do all this by downloading the citizen app, registering your expensive watch, and it will give you exactly what you need to know about the instructions for your model and warranty information. I highly recommend this watch. It definitely feels and looks luxurious on my wrist. This one will definitely be for more dress up situations as opposed to my daily wear, I have others for that. Take the advice, you'll love the watch as much as I do. !

Excellent timepiece. After initial setup, all I have to do is put it on in the morning. The radio signal time set may not come in every night, no matter. The watch keeps excellent time even if the radio signal doesn't come in for a few days. It is recommended to have maintenance done every 5 years or so. I have had this watch just over 2 years with no problem. I will do as suggested regarding maintenance. A great watch for a reasonable price. I get compliments on it often.

I have a previous version in stainless. Bought this to replace an eighteen year old non-atomic that finally 'died' and did not respond to the capacitor battery replacement. So far black finish seems to be holding up. Looks like more of a powder coat finish rather than the 'paint' used on earlier black products. Atomic means no setting and when traveling, 2 time zones is easy. The slide rule on this unit seems a bit less accurate than the older stainless, but still useful for quick approximations. I've had good results with the Citizen watches and plan on using this one a long time.

Two major problems: The hour and minute hands does to block the UTC dial esp between 1155 and 1205. Also, Mine never changes time as advertised, despite being on very high signal areas. I have to reset it every time I change time zone. And I do it quite often. It also comes with NO manual at all, just the watch! It's a unique product in the market, that's why I bought it and kept it. Looks great with three clocks in one. I recommend it for vfr pilots, frequent flyers and persons with families or business scattered on different time zones.
