Citizen Men’s Eco-Drive Promaster Air Skyhawk Atomic Time Keeping Pilot Watch in Stainless Steel with Blue Leather strap, Blue Dial (Model: JY8078-01L)

Looks even better live – Great finish quality
My daughter went into the Navy almost 3 years ago so you’d think that drove my purchase. Oh, no. I’ve been looking at this watch (actually a slightly different version the World Chronograph A-T the AT8020-03L Introduced in 2017) since it came out! Talk about a NON-impulse purchase! Something about the look, design really caught my eye plus the atomic and world time functions. I saw the Promaster version on a cruise last year (Last one before all cruising stopped as it turned out) and loved the way the 3, 6, & 9 were laid out plus the mini display at 4:00. But I just couldn’t bring myself to spend the money on it even then at one of the port shops. Using a price tracker, I spotted a dip in price right near my birthday a week ago so I pounced. Glad I did!First thing, the case is like a mini Pelican case with the latch. Very nice. Second thing which I vaguely recall but forgot about was that, the minute I opened the case, it went into motion, setting itself to my time zone! So cool! How much easier could it be?? Watching the home time then the UTC hand spinning was great. Spot on. Only thing I needed to do was change the 2nd time zone to my daughter’s base and to 24 hr which was very easy to do with online instructions.Impressions: The crispness of the watch can’t be shown accurately in pictures. There are some really small numbers, letters that are so sharp and clear. The bezel finish is top notch. I am very impressed. The size is actually very manageable for my smaller wrists, feels smaller than its 46mm size and certainly smaller than a lot of the current monster watches out there.The blue used on the strap, the bezel and the face is a little darker than I expected, darker than the Blue Angels blue. This didn’t bother me but just something I noticed.The strap is nice and thick leather which means, oh darn 😉 I’ll have to wear it a lot to break it in.Only very minor downside: to switch the mini display to date function means pulling the stem to the 1st position and changing it to calendar mode. I have a lot of G Shocks and the side buttons allow for very easy switching between functions. The Citizen doesn’t. Oddly, the only thing that I’ve found so far that the 4:00 button does is check atomic radio reception. This seems a waste. I would think that could be used for changing, for example, the mini display from 2nd time zone to calendar quickly since that is probably used more often than its current purpose. When you consider that you can very easily switch between home time and 2nd time by pressing the 2 side button simultaneously (Which is really nice!), that they could build in more functionality with the 4:00 button. But that is nitpicking.Oh, and I doubt I’ll ever learn to use the pilot’s slide rule….Overall, love the watch. Extremely easy to read, great lume, very comfortable and will definitely have a high spot in my wear rotation.

Excellent watch with many features
Citizen quality watch with many features delivers again. Looks great on the wrist when wearing this watch.

Top quality at a super bargain=no brainer.Citizen Navihawk.Blue Angels Ed.
I like everything about my Skyhawk Blue Angels Promaster!Quality so far is top notch.I generally prefer automatic/mechanical watches but this watch opened my perspective with the 6 month power reserve and no need for battery replacement and how can you beat a sapphire crystal.The blue leather strap is thick and the yellow stitching adds a touch of class.At 46 mmm the case is perfect for my large wrists.Atomic timekeeping how can you go wrong.There’s no instruction manual but a video link is provided via you tube for complete operating and set up.You can download the instructions also by pdf file.This watch does a lot.For you pilots out there(I’m not lol)and savants or those meticulous in nature should get years of enjoyment out of this watch.I’m looking to get the steel bracelet to switch up now and then.The presence of the watch is beautiful and strong.

He loves it!
It’s the style he really wanted He was very impressed with this time piece there was a little issue with getting it set but we got past that!

Excellent piece of a watch. I’m wanting to return only due to the discount, wherein I look forward to repurchase it.I wonder why Amazon can’t forward me the discounted amount to avoid the shipping.

excelente reloj

Hatte als Pilot die Wingman 1. Leider war der Kalender nur noch im Schaltjahr richtig. Dieser hier geht bis 2099 richtig. Sonst entspricht die Uhr meinen Vorstellungen. Gut ablesbare Markierungen und das auch mit der leicht bläulichen Leuchtmasse. Piloten können ja gut sehen und “schalten”, also muss man nichts über die Größe der Funktionen (siehe Aviat) und so weiter, sprechen. Diese Uhr, ist ein Geschenk für einen Hobbypiloten und der wird sich freuen, da er diese Uhr mal kennen und lieben gelernt hat. Die Funkuhr funktioniert weltweit und geht absolut genau. Die “Sonnenbetankung” ist ebenfalls gut und kann durch das Legen in die Sonne sehr schnell erfolgen. Bei meiner Variante musste ich die Anleitung ausdrucken und geliefert wurde die Uhr in der Papierbox.
