The Promaster Skyhawk is everything I expected. Beautiful timepiece! A couple of suggestions though- why not set-up the time and location before shipping the watch? Why not have a “quick set-up” reference guide included with the timepiece?
If you are a pilot, enthusiast, or just like to collect watches, put this one on your list. It is a fantastic package! The watch is beautifully crafted. Every feature you could possibly want (maybe some you’ll never use .. lol) is available. You’ll never have to set it (perhaps DST ON/OFF) or replace a battery but do keep it close to a window! The Blue Angels helmet watch case is so unique and a real conversation starter. Do display the watch in the case. It’s just very cool. Lastly, learning how to use the slide rule will make you sound so smart when you get those questions too! Besides, who doesn’t want to know about logarithmic scales!!
I have owned this watch for over a year now and absolutely love it. I love all of my Citizen watches but this is perhaps my favorite. The size is perfect, adjusting the band when the watch arrived was simple based on easily obtainable instructions. The App is a must have for any Citizen watch as it is a source of great instructions and information. What is really nice is that you can register all your Citizen watches in the app and then you have one source of information. Finally, being in Pensacola, FL, what a great connection to the Blue Angels and all they represent!
The online picture shows the outer ring to be a lighter blue color. On my watch the outer ring looks black in most lighting. Only in natural sunlight does it appear as very very dark blue. Also, pictures of the upper two right sub-dials are inconsistent online. In some pictures, the cross hairs and inner circle colors are white, in others they are yellow. On my watch they are yellow. I was told my watch should look like the online picture. This is both confusing and incorrect. Other watches in store look like my watch.
