  • 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. ... show more

  • Very beautiful watch for the collection.
This is one of my favorites from my collection. I own many citizen eco watches and can’t help but stare at this one. It is very well made and the aesthetics are appealing. Definitely recommend this piece to anyone. Don’t hesitate to purchase if your thinking about it.

  • Nice watch
I have several watches. This is my everyday watch. Great looking. Accurate time. Quality. I've been having a hard time getting the radio signal to sync up with the watch. Always low signal. I'm sure I'll get it linked up one day. Regardless, I still love it.

  • Great watch but difficult to set!
The watch is very neat with a ton of functions. There’s just one problem, it’s difficult to set. It did not come with any instructions in the box and I could not get a manual online at the Citizen website. However, the person I spoke to at Citizen Customer Service was wonderful! She was very patient and friendly and walked me through the set up process.I will not be touching any dials in the watch for a while! Lol ! ... show more

  • Excellent time piece!! Don't wait, buy it now!!
The media could not be loaded. What can you say about the Citizen Blue Angels edition ... beautiful time piece. Arrived on time and exactly as described. Well packaged, as a new watch should be. Easily initiated the manual sync with the atomic time signal coming out of Colorado, hasn't missed a beat since I got it. This is my second Blue Angels Citizen model. Loved the inner white bezel, which the others don't have. As a retired Naval SWO, the blue / yellow / white combination really speaks to me. Have a couple of other Blue Angel editions on the wish list, but as for this one, don't wait, buy, buy it now!! ... show more

  • Great watch for geeky pilots.
My wife (a professional pilot) purchased this watch for everyday use and loves it. She tinkered with it for hours to figure out its little details and still wasn't bored. It looks absolutely stunning and receives several compliments. The only reason it lost one star is because she she said it sometimes gets stuck in her jacket sleeve (we're in the middle of winter here in the US) and has to fenagle her way out. It's a big watch for sure. ... show more

  • Best Skyhawk Ever
Citizen made these Skyhawks more easily readable with the wider hands and better indices. The deal maker for me, however, is the significantly more readable slide rule bezel, which I use quite often. The white ring is a huge help, and the outer ring's numbers have better contrast than prior models. The lume is suberb -- 10 hours at least, after just 10 seconds under my phone's light. Still, I'd be happier if the watch had a full backlight, not just in the digital areas. Better contrast in those digital areas would be nice, too, since the backlight is rather orange/dark. The light is bright enough, but my older eyes have trouble discerning the numbers and letters, due to the lack of contrast. Overall? Best Skyhawk ever. ... show more
