The morning of 9/11 I purchased a Blue Angels Skyhawk from a watch store in one of the two NYC towers (that soon after was hit and went down). I wore it EVERYDAY for over 21 years. The watch STILL works flawlessly. It is in near perfect condition! I recently bought a Titanium, Promaster, Blue Angels Skyhawk. Why? Just impulse So far, so good. I expect the new watch will out last me (as well as the first watch). Functionally, it appears to operate like the first watch. The major difference (with the exception of it being a lighter titanium case and band) is that the slightly new watch face layout makes better use of the case dimensions. Overall, I expect the new watch will continue to be the BEST I have EVER owned.
I waited 2 years for this watch (titanium option). Glad to see it finally became available again. Ordered online since I was familiar with the eco-drive. (The online registration through the app was not easy.)
Well, it will take some time to give an accurate account of how this piece performs. I just set it yesterday, and so far it's working with precision. My only concern is that I read the shelf life is 10 years for an eco-drive watch. I pray this isn't true because I didn't spend A thousand dollars for a ten-year watch. I'm 60 years old, and I hope to leave this to my son or grandson one day. This is also my third Citizen Eco-Drive Atomic watch. Unfortunately, one of those were stolen, and an unfortunate accident took the other. I keep replacing them so I'm happy with a Citizen watch.
I have several Skyhawk and navihawk watches that are in steel. While those are all excellent they are larger and after wearing them all day you can definitely start to notice it is there on your wrist. This titanium version is significantly lighter and almost feels as if you are not wearing it at all. I am looking forward to wearing this one often.
Great time piece and lots of features and quality for the money.
He loves Citizen Watches. He's been without a watch for couple of years now, and when he opened his gift box, he was thrilled. He is very happy with the Promaster Skyhawk watch - beautiful item
Beautiful watch! Arrived timely, lots of functionality, easy to manually program when automatic sync is hard to receive signal. Set it and go! When fully charged, will stay functioning for many days, however I keep mine in a watch winder box, so it continuously receives light when I don't wear it. Got a great deal with Black Friday special already effective.
