An elegant piece of art on your wrist.
This is actually a replacement for a 9 year old Promaster Skyhawk A-T Blue Angels (JY0040-59L) that experienced daily use and abuse. With a worn bezel and reasonably heavily scratched mineral crystal that watch has been relegated to "dirty" work. Mechanically, still sound. The New A-T, well a little larger, a little heavier, all the same features, three time zone capable, dual alarms, chronograph, calendar, slide rule bezel. I appreciate the classy appearance of the Blue Angel Skyhawks as well as the functionality. As a platform engineer, the UTC dial is critical, let's me confirm at a glance my hardware is processing in real time. The dual time zones come in handy because my primary business team is on the west coast and my secondary business team is on the east coast. The Skyhawk provides the three critical time zones I need at a glance. Keep up the good work Citizen, looking forward to the next evolution of the Blue Angels Skyhawk.
I've only had this watch for about 3 weeks and so far I really enjoy it. It's great to have the local time, UTC and a 3rd time zone right on the display without having to push any buttons. I'm a ham operator so UTC comes in handy all the time. It's fairly large so just be aware on how it may look and feel depending on wrist size.
I have been wearing Citizen world time watches for many decades and ECO-DRIVE for somewhat fewer decades. Once you are familiar with doing the initial setup they are very convenient time pieces specially if you frequently travel through different time zones and they are fairly good looking too. Even the non-radio sync'd watches maintain extremely good timing possibly requiring correction once a year or less. For excellent functionality and good looks it's price point is a lot better than substantially more expensive and gaudy watches.
