I bought this time piece a few weeks ago. Using Amazon was a big mistake!! The seller said watch was brand new.. even Amazon list watch is not being used. Well I've bought a few watches in over 40 yrs. And alot have been citizen. Well one it wasn't in the box a skyhawk would come inn 2. Wasn't wrapped in any protective wrapping or plastic to cover the face or back. I mentioned to the seller and he was honest by stating it was a display piece as I told him that what I thought it was. So I got my cash back and purchased from a private jeweler. Great piece 3rd. One
Overall, very happy with the purchase. Even with a large amount of information displayed, it is easy to read the key functions (time and date).
Citizen Response
Great in every way.I always get nice compliments. Best watch I’ve owned.
Looks and feels better in person! Fantastic value!
I bought this watch over 16 years ago and still wearing it today. Never any issues with it. After setting the time the day I bought it, never had to set the time again.
This is my fourth Citizen and I couldn't be happier with it. It's a wonderful compliment to my growing collection.
Once I got the band adjusted to my taste (tip: purchase your own watch tools to do this), this watch has become my daily driver. Drop-dead accurate and with a number of outstanding features, it continually reminds me of why I prefer a conventional style watch over a 'smartwatch'. If you are on the fence and can afford it, then I highly recommend this piece.
Great watch! It is aesthetically pleasing, feels good on the wrist and excellent functionality.
I think a watch purchase is extremely subjective, I really like the dial face, excellent night glow. Ease of operation is fine. It’s a bit heftier than other Citizens I own. Atomic timekeeping is just as accurate as my atomic wall clock, cellphone, etc. With a little practice, adjusting secondary time-zone is easy.
To me, watches are equipment: not jewelry or status symbols, art, smart phones, waffle irons, etc. This watch does precisely what a watch is supposed to do: provide me with reliable, precise time information. I use practically every feature it has on regular basis. It also just happens to be as attractive as it is functional. This is my second Skyhawk. My first one is 10 years old, has taken some abuse, and is till precise to the second. I don't repeat mistakes. Here's an example.
