Citizen Men's JY0000-02E Eco-Drive Skyhawk A-T Watch

This watch has a great set of features that are especially good for travellers and those who work "in the field". All in all, I think this is one of Citizen's best high end multi featured watches. The functionality makes sense, it is easy to use, and except for its large size, the watch has a functional, sturdy look that is not overly gimicky, or pointlessly flashy.

It's very large size (45mm Diam excl. crown x 15mm thick) is, in my opinion, its major drawback, making the watch a bit on the heavy and clunky side. The size does, however, make it easy to read. Below is my list of its Pro's / Con's

Pro's:
- Case Accepts standard 22m wide straps, so you can change out the rubber strap for your own favorite if you want.
- 200m water resistant so it can be used for sport idving and water sports
- Full timing features (Day, Month, Year, Chronograph, countdown timer, wolrd time extra dial for UTC / other timezone)
- Alarms: 2 world time...Read more

I bought the new Citizen Skyhawk A-T while having my old Navihawk repaired for the second time (the function button keeps breaking on the Navihawk; despite that, I love the Navihawk and it's been my favorite watch for 10 years since I bought it). The Skyhawk A-T is even better than my beloved Navihawk in many ways (has back light function; has a second hand; ecodrive; the function button that kept breaking on the Navihawk has been changed to a pull-out crown; atomic-time set every night, which works flawlessly in the DC area). The ONLY thing NOT better about this new model is that it's significantly larger and bulkier. Other than that, it's fantastic and I have only positive things to say about it.

As a science & tech minded guy, when I saw this watch I felt the stirrings of technolust that I haven't seen for some time! I had certain requirements for a new watch. I wanted something functional outdoors for biking and at the gym during workouts. I wanted something that displayed multiple time zones easily since I regularly work with people in Europe and Asia and I can never remember how many hours away they are. Easy or automatic adjustment to time zones when I fly somewhere was important. And of course I wanted something that looks great!

I have been extremely pleased with my Citizen EcoDrive. The solar power, radio-controlled updates, multiple time zone display (analog, digital, plus UTC), chronometer, and countdown timer make this watch perfect for me. I really like the soft rubber band as it makes the watch feel totally at home in the gym or on my bike. While I must admit I haven't used it all that often, the slide rule bezel is a lot of fun has been useful for a...Read more
