Upgraded from the basic Skyhawk watch to this one. No comparison, this is in a league by itself. Automatically changes daylight savings time while you sleep. Sapphire crystal display is very tough and does not scratch. Expensive, but is so very worth it. Titanium is so light you forget you have it on, but very strong material. Great for pilots/aviation buffs. Can't recommend it enough. Shop around and you can get it for under $600 USD.
I bought the Blue Angels version about 4 years ago. It keeps perfect time. Once set, it has kept perfect time! I get admiring comments about it.
This is my Third Blue Angels Eco- Chronograph drive. I loved my first two immensely. They are very light and comfortable to wear. This new model has a redesigned band and face. The band is not as comfortable as the older design and it does annoy me to wear it all day. The other problem is the face of the watch looks almost black. Not as blue as the picture shows or like the other Blue Angel watches. As well, the printing on the face lacks enough color contrast which makes it look dull and hard to see. It saddens me to say that I most likely would not buy this watch again. I'm disappointed.
The Titanium model is just perfect! Love the fit! Love the look! It’s been a long term goal to get my Pilot’s License before I got the watch and now I’m happy I’ve finally got both!
