CitizenMen's Promaster Air Skyhawk Eco-Drive Super Titanium™ Watch, Atomic Timkeeping Technology, Power Reserve Indicator, Luminous, Anti-Reflective Crystal, 45mm (Model: JY8108-53E)

After my wife purchased my very first Citizen watch for me (Eco-Drive P-CAT) for my birthday this past March, I fell in love with Citizen. So much so I started looking at other Citizen watches to purchase and I came across this model (Promaster Skyhawk which is also an Eco-Drive) in which I purchased this and it arrived soon after. Like my first Citizen watch, it was quite difficult to set the time especially since it did not come with instructions. However I was able to watch youtube videos on how to set this watch just as I have done before with my first citizen watches and was successful in setting this watch. Just like with my first Citizen watch, this watch blew me away. My Promaster is slight bigger than my P-Cat yet because it is made from Titanium, it is noticeably lighter than my P-CAT. This watch is very light on my wrist and very comfortable to wear not to mention the technology in this watch is outstanding. You cannot go wrong with this watch but then again it is a Citizen watch so you can’t go wrong if you go with Citizen period. Beautiful watch. I am looking foreard to purchasing my next Citizen Watch.

Great looking watch for guys who like aviation watches, or just watches in general. I have XL sized hands and it fits nicely.

This watch has a lot of features that you need to understand to get the most out of it. I have been a watch collector for years and this has taken over my everyday watch need. I can't think of a major issue I have with the watch. I have this and the identical watch as the Blueangels version in stainless and the titanium version is a much better choice. The weight difference is very noticeable and welcome. I the atomic clock signal was stronger but the watch has not failed to receive an update, daylight savings time, so it has always been dead-on accurate. The "Super Titanium" material that Citizen touts is everything it says it is. I noticed that the stainless version scratches easier than the Ti watch. Not small but if you can wear a 44mm then it is well worth the money to take a look and try it. The manual and online Youtube videos are great. This is just my opinion but owning watches that cost 5 to 7 times as much I feel pretty safe with this recommendation. Good luck. I have three Citizen watches, one over 15 years old, and have not had a bit of a problem so I have no idea how Citizen is with warranty repairs.

This watch is awesome. I even like the orange highlights on the bezel. I use the multi-time zone feature, and the circular slide rule for doing flight computations is super geek. I learned how to use one of these when I was a kid getting my pilot's license. The watch control interface can be a bit challenging at times, but as this is my third Citizen watch, it is very similar and consistent with the previous watches. Note that the battery in these solar watches will die after 10+ years (like an EV) and can be replaced, but by then you may as well get a new watch anyway as there will be some amount of wear in that time. I get a smile on my face every time I look at this watch!

I really liked the watch until 10 months in, with the exception being the annoyance of having to switch between calendar mode and dual time mode; you can't display both simultaneously . After 10 month the crown and stem completely disengaged from the watch when I pulled the crown as usual to adjust the mode. You would think this is covered by warranty. Not so. Citizen apparently exclude the crown from warranty (Seiko, their main competitor, does not), and therefore I was initially quoted over $350 to repair it. To me that is inexcusable, especially when a brief Google search shows others have had the same issue. My guess is that whatever internal part keeps the stem in place is of poor quality, and/or the need to frequently switch between calendar and world time modes inevitably wears out the part that holds the stem in place (in which case it is a design flaw).

The media could not be loaded. I am very happy with this purchase!Great quality and fast shipping!

Perfect watch, enjoying its simplicity and luxury look!

Very light compared to my other watches. Will definitely use this watch more on a regular basis.Watched a youtube video from another watch owner on how to set the time and date. I love that it can automatically adjust the time during DST (on/off) and the time will always be on point.
