Stylish watch with a conservative flare...
by T. Lu , 2010-06-29

This watch is gorgeous and has all the functions that you need. I recommend you have it fitted after you get it. Those of you experiencing pulling hair, that's what you have to do. Otherwise, I'm wearing it with confidence and feels great!!! It has a nice grey tone finish because of the titanium. Very light compared to my previous stainless steel watch. This is worth every cent. The numbers and hands glow in the dark so that helps to read in very dark areas.

Don't be discouraged what other people are saying about how complicated this watch is to setup. It isn't. You can view the CD presentation or go to the main Citizen website, look up your model watch, and watch their online tutorial. Very easy, very quick. I had my watch all setup in less than 10 minutes. Probably faster after watching the video completely, then setting it up. I'm already familiar with the setup and can do it in a few seconds now.

This watch matches all kinds of outfits whether it's for a formal outting, casual, or even while playing baksetball. The design is super nice with a nice quality finish.

It's not overy huge like some other designer watches. This one is perfect in size. Maybe a little on the thick side, but the faceplate doesn't cover up your entire wrist, lol. Overall, I'm completely satisfied. Your warranty certificate is inside the warranty booklet in case there are premature malfunctions. The bezel might be a bit small, but how often are you going to use that anyways? At least it's there if you need to use it.

Alarm sound is bit on the low side, but they probably don't want you to be bugging a crap load of people in the office with an annoying sound.

Beautiful, elegant, stylish, and conservative. What more do you want?

Four years and still ticking

I purchased this watch four years ago, and it is still running reliably. It keeps accurate time, is easy to change time zones as I travel around the world, and the alarm is usually loud enough to wake me up in the morning. There are two drawbacks worth noting:

(1) As other reviewers noted, the crystal scratches easily. That said, four years later, I do not have trouble seeing through the crystal.

(2) the two buttons and the stem stick out pretty far on the right side. As a result, I have developed a thick callus on the back of my left hand where the watch stem digs in. Also, the buttons bump into the back of my hand, changing the time zone for the digital time/date portion of the watch. Easy to change back (just push the buttons again to step back to local time) but still mildly annoying.

But bottom line, it does what a quality watch is supposed to do -- keep reliable time year after year. And after four years, I am still on the original battery.

Functions are nice but the face is not big enough

I have the black one of this watch, which if u get the black one the paint chips away. but thats besides the point for this watch. what i want to say for this watch is that its good weight but the face of the watch is kind a small. i would have liked it more if the face was 2-3 mm more. other than that it functions well. over all its a good watch.

Not very practical...
by G. Wilburn , 2010-06-01

After weeks of researching Citizen watches and realizing they really don't have what I'm looking for, I settled on the Titanium Skyhawk. I really wanted a simple Titanium watch with a perpetual calendar... Citizen makes ONE and I didn't like it.

What's wrong with this watch?
1. Way too thick... sit up off your arm. The rotating bezel functions are basically useless unless you are accustomed to using a sliderule. I'm sure a real pilot would not use it. If they took it off, the watch would be HALF as thick.
2. The crystal is not flat. It's like looking through a coke bottle. At an angle, you can't see anything on the watch
3. The hands on the watch are not solid (hollowed out)... no such thing as a quick glance to see what time it is.
4. The day/date is so small, i'll likely only be able to see it for another year or two. I don't wear reading glasses now.. i can even read the small numbers on the rotating bezel. But it's almost impossible to read the digital date unless in perfect lighting.

The watch looks nice and is very light. No idea you have it on your wrist. I do like yellow sweep/second hand.

Overall, I could live with everything but the rounded crystal.. but for this amount of money, I should not have to "settle" for anything. Sadly, I will likely return the watch.

It's still being sold!! Wow

I received this watch as a gift back in 2001. I've worn it almost every day since then and it's still kicking. Yes, the glass has some scratches, but this thing is solid.
