Reviews
Pilot
As a pilot I love this watch. Only had it for a week so will see how it goes. Going to order another one except with the black face and band.
Good watch but overpriced
No Automic timekeeping, no super titanium and yet costlier than the ones which have those features.
Best series
I've been using the Skyhawk series for 24 years... this one is awesome, but I miss the Titanium version, and it absolutely has to be radio-controlled... then I'd even pay $3,000 for this watch... Greetings to all Skyhawk fans and all Citizen fans :) PS and below this is my favorite watch, 13 years old and still works perfectly.
changing time is challenging
The watch came quickly from Citizen pre-sized, but not accurately to my 6 3/4 wrist. I needed to add back a link, which is challenging because of the little sleeve (easy to lose) that goes over the bracelet pin as it is inserted. The manual for the U830 movement is not yet available 3 weeks after product release (not smart, Japan), so after getting lost and messed up by trial and error on time change (from pacific to central) as well as not figuring out chronograph operation, I needed to apply an all-reset (which uses all three push buttons and the LED interface). So I located the U822 movement manual, which is close enough to U830 to get back on time. I still don't know how to accurately change the UTC time after all reset. After watching a couple videos about the Breitling watch slide rule, I got into the basic uses (mutiply, dividing, speed, conversions) for the rotating slide-rule bezel on the Promaster. The numbers on the bezel are so small even for bifocals that I needed to wear a head magnifier to make use of the slide rule--a novelty. A final note, the watch case (not including pushers) is actually 42mm, not 43mm as indicated on the Citizen web site, so the size fits better than expected on my thin wrist. I'd give 5 stars if the interface manual were available (including QR code on watch) and indeed easier to understand.
More Minuses than Pluses
Love the single large LCD window, a definite improvement and the "clean", styling. However the lack of either atomic clock or satellite timing and no titanium case and band makes it a non-starter for me. It will never replace either of my Skyhawk AT's (even with their tiny, hard to read LCD's). Hopefully, automatically synched timing and Ti cases are in future plans, along with more reasonable pricing.
