Passed down a collection of Citizen timepieces from my dad and this titanium Skyhawk is itching to be worn and used on the daily. I’ve never worn anything fancier then G-Shock for decades so only time will tell the durability.

Citizen Response
I bought this watch to replace an older citizen Blue Angel watch. This watch's presentation and material is much more stylish and higher quality. I love everything about it.

If you are saddened because this watch is no longer available take heart. Thankfully, the current Promaster Sky Hawk A-T has almost all the features of this watch for a fraction of the price. The current Promaster Sky Hawk, ditches the Titanium case for a more traditional (albeit heavier) Stainless Steel case, and loses the distance time scale found on this and earlier models. Otherwise they are identical. This Limited Edition was the ultimate Promaster Skyhawk A-T available when it was released. Thankfully Citizen kept much of what made this watch great and rolled it into the next iteration. Having purchased and been completely satisfied with the JY8078-52L, I purchased this only because it was on deep discount at my local jeweler and it was a steal for a limited edition, numbered, titanium cased watch. My only complaint is the fact that the blue used in this limited edition tends to not have enough contrast in indoor lighting, and is difficult to read the seconds hands and blue ink indoors. Luckily this has been corrected in later editions. I love that it's limited edition and has a Titanium case, but quite frankly if you buy either the JY8070-54E or JY8078-52L, you'll have essentially the same watch minus the titanium case with a more readable face that is easier to live with.
This is my 3rd Citizen Skyhawk Titanium. I truly love all of them. This particular one is super light, stylish and very dependable. I get so many complements on the design. Citizen, you hit a home run on the color scheme.. I have the Gray, Red Arrows and now this one..I need to get the Blue Angels next... Citizen, keep up the great work
I bought this watch several years ago. I would have given it five stars if the background of the digital display was white instead of dark grey which makes it difficult to read in low light and doesn't make any sense to me. I am short to state, it is even idiotic. It is difficult for me to understand the reasoning for making it dark grey instead of white. Otherwise, it is an excellent watch, very accurate, doesn't need winding because it works with light, and changes automatically to "daylight savings time". The above features means that you only make mechanical changes when you purchase it in order to adjust the geographical area you reside. As a result, there is no mechanical wear. It is a very good looking watch (at least to me), and even though some people report it is a little too heavy for them, I have no complains in that respect even though I am 93 years old and things feel in general heavier to me than they really are. I would definitely recommend this watch.
I decided to purchase this watch because I really liked the look. I have had good luck with Citizen before, and there were a 3 main features that I was interested in. Titanium, Atomic time, and Sapphire Crystal. I have had the watch about 3 weeks now and it has not disappointed. The Titanium allows this nice sized watch to not be a burden on my wrist. My job keeps me moving and it is amazingly comfortable for its size. The Atomic time synched nicely and of course, is spot on accurate. and the Sapphire crystal is so clear! It is cool that it is a limited edition timepiece. In my opinion, hard to beat this watch! Great Style and comfort, always reliable, and I think a real good value for a fine timepiece!
I owned the previous design watch for 20 years and it still works. I broke the band on my 20 year old watch and decided to purchase a new Titanium Watch again. The new watch is simple awesome. I repaired my 20 year old watch band, so I have two watches now. If you use this watch daily or just leave it in the sun light it will last forever. These are tough watches. I went through 10 watches before I purchased my first Skyhawk. I use it everyday and it takes everything (swimming, diving, beach, sand, four wheeling, etc) I give it. This watch is a must buy. Worth every dollar and both watches still looks like new.
I bought a Skyhawk 21 years ago it has never needed any repairs, accurate timekeeping. I can think of no other watch on the planet I would prefer to own at any price! Compare the features and cost nothing matches it. E6B functions are fairly small but I love this watch just the same. Would recommend to anyone!
