This watch is amazing and I can't stop looking at it. If you're lucky enough to be able to purchase one, don't think twice, just do it.

Outstanding Features! I am very happy with my purchase.
This is a must have watch for your collection. The feel of it is amazing, very light compared to the standard stainless steel. The functions are great as they always have been for this line. I have everything down to an original first gen blue angels navihawk (c300), and this is the best looking promaster I have seen in the line for a long time. Keep it up Citizen!
I purchased this watch as a daily wear for flying. It has great features as far as quick math for flying and navigation.
I am so happy and amazed by seeing the master piece. It’s new to me but I am satisfied.
I have an early generation Skyhawk that still runs well and is extremely accurate. This latest version is amazing. Very , very accurate and titanium makes it very light on the wrist. I love it!!!!
I own and have been wearing Citizen Skyhawk watches since 2000. They all work flawlessly! I have the 2nd generation Skyhawk Zales exclusive color combination (Purchased in 2000 worn for 10 years); 3rd generation Skyhawk Blue Angels (Purchased in 2007 worn for 7 years) and have just purchased the Limited Edition Skyhawk in Super Titanium w/ Sapphire Crystal. The watch does feel 40% lighter than my prior Skyhawks and I like the weight reduction on my wrist. It has a more superior look due to the Titanium and Sapphire Crystal. I like the fact that they have numbered each limited edition watch on the back case, makes the watch feel special. The Eco Drive & Atomic features of these watches are amazing and work in the background without any intervention from you. Once you set them you'll never have to again since they adjust for daylight savings time and revert back as well, my watches have always been accurate down to the second. You can't go wrong with any Citizen Skyhawk AT that you purchase. These watches have zero cons, I would give them 20 stars if I could!!! Thank you Citizen for putting out such a superior product over the years and continuing to do so!
I travel a lot and having the dual time zone feature helps me keep track of time at origin and destination. Also, the watch looks darn good!
Having owner previous gerneration of the Skyhawk I can tell you that this LTD Ed. is a step above. Very light weight means it's comfortable to wear and the sapphire crystal is an upgrade over the mineral crystal. Functions are just as useful as before but now you have better materials and a very nice presentation.
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.
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.
