A classic from its inception till now, uncompromising style that can be worn casually or informal. A great watch I highly recommend.
A very nice looking watch with lots of bells and whistles and might be too many for most. I love the looks and the band is 110% the best part. For the investment It is a great buy while on discount. I would never pay full retail for it but at 25% off it was a good buy for my collection.
Very nice watch. Substantial but not overwhelming.
I received this watch as a gift, and I love it. Had it fitted the way I like and it looks great. Learning the functions was pretty easy also. A great watch!
An amazing watch , I got this for a lower price from someone who used it , just so i can leave my Seamaster 300 Pro 18K Gold And Stainless Steel in the bank safe for a while. Found that this citizen is the proper watch for my need. You have plenty of things to learn about it. Charging to the maximum level can be done faster under sun light not under light bulbs or led’s. It’s built to take maximum support from natural light and its free. In fact artificial lights wont do much in charging it at all. I’m not a pilot or a diver but this thing have managed to be able to go underwater for 666 feet and thats impressive not being a divers watch. Just keep the watch charged properly and don’t keep it inside in darkness for over 6 months and you can have a battery free watch for many years. If kept for more than 6 months in darkness then just keep it under lite sunshine for a few days till the charging meter goes to the highest level and never drops back to a lower level.

I’ve owned my Citizen Blue Angels previous generation watch about 8 years or more. It does everything perfectly well and requires virtually no input from me. My watch has proven to be very durable supported by the normal patina it shows. It’s a no brainer.
My thoughtful wife bought me this for Christmas knowing I wanted it for a while, it is a beautiful and comfortable watch certainly did not disappoint

Watch looks amazing. Has alot of features. Complete watch for people who love Analog watch
This is an unbelievably nice watch ! I love it when people notice it and say they like it . It’s a little intimidating to set but once you get it , it’s easy ! Best watch I have ever had on my wrist.
It’s kind of ironic how nice this time piece actually is and pictures don’t justify its quality and great luxe. I purchased my blue Angel Skyhawk on eBay and paid somewhere around $500 for the watch. The guy that I purchased it from had taken a Caribbean cruise, and he won the watch on the ship and having already owned one he decided to sell his second one on eBay, which I swiftly purchased. What’s ironic about the watch is the amount of attention that it draws to itself not only is it a beautiful time piece it’s 100% functional it has a flight computer inside of it that is very useful. The slide rule is one of the best slide rules I’ve used to calculate fuel in pounds, as well as various calculations, The watch is truly a pilots dream in time keeping and versatility. Over the years, I’ve collected some really nice watches, and one of my favorites is the Breitling Navitimer the funny thing is that when I wear my Skyhawk 8lue Angels Edition t just commands attention. I get all types of looks and stairs at the watch I’ve had doctors teachers police officers, colleagues, collectors of watches, stare at my wrist and try to figure out what type of watch it is and some of them are sneaky and do it nonchalant. It just draws attention, and it feels good to wear a watch that draws that type of attention, the reality is that my Breitling is worth around 18K and here this watch is only $600 and just commands attention but let’s be real here Citizens makes a fantastic pilots watch !!! I recommend this watch to anybody that wants to draw attention and I recommend it even more if you’re a pilot !!!

This is my 2nd Blue Angel watch. This is my 9th Citizen watch, my 8th Eco-Drive. For a large watch it’s extremely comfortable. Love the look and so glad I added this to my collection. You can’t go wrong.

Just bought this a few days ago and to be honest the amount of research and several hours of video drooling that went through before i made up my mind to buy this watch cannot be jotted in this review. I love this watch in every aspect. Hats off to the quality and tech that went through in the making of this watch. Initially after my purchase i felt the watch was a little too heavy and the edges of the strap were sharp, but much to my surprise I got used to it and it definitely feels premium and luxurious.

Amazing watch! It was great to open the box and see all the hands in the dials immediately started moving to automatically set to the atomic clock... Best purchased I've made so far this year.

I purchased this watch a week ago and I absolutely love it. The comfortable fit, the manly look and the great features that comes with it. I have a Navihawk so im familiar with skyhawk. The price for such a awesome time piece is unlike any other. I'm glad I found this watch.
Very happy with the purchase of this watch, it has all the best features a person could ask for.

Beautiful watch - easy set up, and it was nearly fully charged out of the box. I like that I can check for atomic syncing at any time I wish, or just let the watch do everything automatically. And no more major programming efforts city by city when daylight savings begins or ends! All the listed features work as advertised. The manual is online, and watch warranty registration is by app. The app needs a bit of work, but in the end just make sure to keep evidence of purchase if you do need warranty service. One last thing - I found it by accident, but if you search for ‘Citizen U680’ (U680 being the movement designation of this watch) the full and an abbreviated (4 page) manual will pop up next to each other in the results. Save both to your Reading List or Bookmarks, and you can play with the various settings and features during down times. Not too complex at all - just appears that way at first. Very highly recommended!
I bought it half a year ago. It looks very cool on hand, firstly it was not comfortable enough to wear them because it had sharp edges and weighed too many but then i got used to and now i like it when you feel the weight of the steel. I would try them with leather band.
My wife gifted this to me recently and it exceeded all expectations. This watch is meticulous in every aspect. It’s comfortable to wear, and versatile for any attire. My Submariner has been collecting some dust since receiving this watch and that will likely continue. The flight calculations are spot on and have proven helpful in the cockpit, despite those who may say it’s more of a novelty. I fly for the Air Force, and precision timekeeping is necessary in a number of time zones, it’s nice not setting my watch every morning anymore. If you’re a flyer, you need this watch.

I received my first Blue Angels Navihawk as a gift many years ago, and I loved it! Unfortunately, I lost that watch, so I bought the Blue Angels Skyhawk Titanium. I have always wanted an atomic Blue Angels watch, so when I first saw the Blue Angels Promaster Skyhawk A-T I knew I just had to have it! Citizen has done a great job with the Blue Angels Watches, and the Blue Angels Promaster Skyhawk A-T is now my favorite!

JUST PURCHASED THIS PROMASTER BLUE ANGEL BEFORE CHRISTMAS, I'M MORE THAN HAPPY TO OWN IT: ITS' MOST COMPREHENSIVE FUNCTIONS TO CHALLENGE YOUR BRAIN EVERYDAY; ITS' ELEGANCE AND HIGH QUALITY TO BRING YOU CONFIDENCE EVERYWHERE! THANKS CITIZEN!
I've had this watch for about 2 months now and couldn't be happier. The quality is excellent, time keeping is spot on and the radio reception functions properly. The crystal is sapphire as opposed to mineral glass which is a nice touch. Love the fit and finish. The reason the watch didn't get 5 stars is because Citizen no longer ships the watch in a hard case with the Blue Angels insignia on it nor do they provide a manual for the watch. It comes in an average watch box. For such a watch this was quite the let down. Especially after seeing older reviews of this watch displayed in the Promaster hard case with the Blue Angels insignia. And, I had to download the manual as per the sales person where I bought the watch. Come on Citizen, get back to the standards you once had.
The watch itself is very nice. I had to adjust the bracelet to fit my wrist. Simply knock out the pins remove links then put them back together or so it seems. In my experience with this watch, once I remove the pins then reinstall them, the pins did not stay intacted. The pins keep falling out. Can't wear the watch. It's now a paperweight until I get to a jeweler. I own five citizen watches and this has been the worst of the lot.

I'm a retired US Navy Parachute Rigger and spent 22 years maintaining the ejection seat mounted parachutes/survival kits and every piece of flight equipment a US Navy and US Marine Corps Aviator will wear, including the HGU-33 flight helmet used by the Blue Angels Flight Demonstration Team (the visor should be gold instead of chrome but I understand ;-). This watch has been on my watch "Bucket List" for 2 year, and now one is mine. It's beautiful and I'm proud to wear it, but maybe not for the fact that it's a Citizen... The folks at the jewelry store didn't know how to set it and there was no instruction manual in the enormous beautiful box. They did adjust the bracelet and when I saw the small metal working hammer come out to drive the pins back in, I cringed but it was too late and they removed a link from both sides and damaged both sides. I took hours of searching the internet to find very little on setting the watch but finally found a video on citizenwatch.com that mentioned manual adjusting if a radio link failed allowing me to set "Daylight Saving". Then I registered the watch only to realize that the "VERY COOL" metal limited edition ID card didn't match my watch. The card indicated 2951/9999 and the case back indicated 1690/9999. Then I wondered if they 9999 were manufactured over multiple years, because I couldn't discern a date of manufacture. Can Citizen tell me more? I was hoping for a card that matched the watch, but that may not be possible. And lastly, the laser etching (I'm guessing laser) is blurred on some of the numbers and letters, specifically the movement identifier isn't as legible as one would hope for a new expensive Citizen watch. I think this one is number "Two" from top-of-the-line Promaster, just under the Titanium version which the Jeweler didn't have in stock. So, maybe I'll be able to find a new bracelet to install someday after putting a few bucks back into the Parachute Rigger's indulgent cookie jar.

I bought this watch 3 years ago. I have been wearing it one or two days per week, and the white numbers on the bezel are almost gone. I am always very careful and avoid the watch to have contact with soap, perfume or something like that. I assume the white and yellow colours are falling due to the contact with garments. It is a shame because it gets a worn-out appearance.

The Watch was very easy to understand when setting the Time and Date out of the box in the correct time zone. The Sizing was a perfect fit. Great Wrist Watch to have and wear.
Excellent watch
I had the original Navihawk Blue Angels and loved it. (I might have to see if I can get it fixed. Needs a new movement.) I've been looking for a replacement ever since and I'm glad I finally settled on this style. Couldn't be happier!
A classic from its inception till now, uncompromising style that can be worn casually or informal. A great watch I highly recommend.

I got this watch for Christmas. I absolutely love it. It's very stylish and looks great with anything from a business suit to jeans.
I've always loved the Promaster style of watch and Citizen hits it out of the park with this one!! I'll probably not use all the features but man it looks great!!! People constantly compliment me on the watch!
Very nice watch. Substantial but not overwhelming.
I this watch about ten years ago! And I’ve never had an issue with it. It’s awesome
Bought for my husband for our 20th Anniversary and he loves it! He retired from the USMC after 20 years and performed maintenance on the A-4 Skyhawk so this is an extra special item for him. Watch is beautiful and well crafted. Does not include instruction manual but you can easily get it online.
