Description

Give a special gift for that special man with one eye on the sky with the Citizen Skyhawk JR3090-58L titanium watch that honors the Blue Angels, the legendary U.S. Navy precision flying team, with an official Blue Angels insignia on the caseback. Titanium is nearly 50 percent lighter than steel, but 30 percent stronger. It is also particularly resistant to corrosion from salt water. It is powered by Citizen's unique Eco-Drive, which absorbs sunlight and any artificial light through the crystal and dial to recharge the watch continuously. The features include fast-forward timing and calendar time in twenty-two time zones, thirty cities, three world time alarms, a 99-minute countdown timer, one touch interchangeable analog / digital time and chronograph measuring 1 / 100-second to 24 hours. The large round black frame offers a slide rule bi-directional rotating yellow triangle accents. The midnight blue dial background features large silver tone hands and Arabic numerals. It also features a durable, lightweight satin-finished titanium bracelet, water resistance to 100 meters (330 feet), and a scratch-resistant, non-reflective mineral crystal.

I often travel and wanted to see where I could iew two time zones simultaneously. This watch meets the bill with a simple touch of a button. The watch is beautiful and I definitely recommend the titanium, it is much lighter than stainless steel. I like to be able to see times around the world and find this particularly useful when I travel. There are many functions that most will never use. The other feature I like is the CD that provides instructionds step by step to set the clock (the manual is confusing).

This is a big clock that keeps time Perfit! the small window of time the day is small to read without crystal 's if you're a veteran like me lol! the band is very strong! the best is not the battery.

I bought this watch for my boyfriend as a birthday today. He missed this show for many years and I was very happy to receive. The watch was delivered on time, so I don 't have anything bad to say. He likes the way his hands automatically adjust to different time zones and also how it glows in the dark blue instead of the typical green. His father loved the show so much, he bought a similar one.

A gift, Ecco Drive Blue Angel TA, bought to replace Blue Angel, a priori model, that by the way, often needed for repair balky dials and condensation. I 'll try to keep this brief. And fly. I also know to 25,000 hr retired airline pilot who own 's this. When I flew jets, I did not need to watch as Cockpits have an array of computers. I Wears this for style. I fly VFR and do not need "to the second " precision. I DO need easy access and Ergonomics BECAUSE watch my needs to be a useful tool. I wear a Vibralite, G-Shock, in Chrono with analog subdial, in analog with rotating bezel and obvious marker to act as a timer. I do not like 6mm wide windows with small numerals watch often hidden by hands that need access to watch the removal of the crown which must be pulled one tiny notch, rotated to the function then pressed in again just to access the feature Chrono, and then the same for another function like the timer. Finger to distract me in acrobatic flight. I do not need a backlight to see yet another timezone does not function when in Chrono mode. (read the small print in the manual first!). See where I 'm going with this? If you like a conversation piece that will tell people you like airplanes and fly them maybe, sure it 'sa nice piece, no doubt about it. Not recommended as a driver 's tool. There are much much better, smarter choices.

Got it in June 2004. R watch rVery beautiful. Titanium is the version to get. R rI let it out the window when not in use. It loses about 30 seconds after six months. WKH love the many alarms. R rI have never had any problem with the battery losing power. A load of time in the state fell to about 30% and so I put it near the window. R RI opened the drain and see the hell out of the cell of a single button just to see how it loads. It was less than a week. I don 't remember and I ' m not doing it again, because it will ruin the battery. R rThis clock is not tough to use, so don 't play football with him. The second hand has to be zero (0) set when the clock is shocked (hit). R rThis watch is also quite complex to learn to use. Sometimes I have to consult the manual for some adjustments. But it is much easier to adjust the time that most beautiful watches. The day / month / year, hours / minutes / seconds are all independent. In some nice watches, to adjust the day of the month, you have to adjust the hand 24 hours 30 times if you lose your day.

I 've owned this watch for over five years, and am now about to purchase another one with the atomic clock upgrade. Some People Have Expressed concern over the watchband, crown, scratches, useless internal dials, power, etc.. First off, I 'm in the Air Force and travel all over the world frequently. This watch has been wonderful, as it is extremely easy and quick to adjust between timezones. I work in aircraft maintenance and believe me, this watch has taken a beating over the years. My face is scratched, but they are barely visible unless you are looking under good light and really searchign for them. Nothing has ever broken on this watch, including the crown and not real noticeable scratches on the band. When not in direct light, my watch automatically goes into power saving mode Which is great, I can still tell time I just lose the digital displays and the second hand, both of which jump right back to life the second light hits the face. This watch was mostly charged when I purchased it and the power level indicator has never dropped below 3 bars, and I have never formally tried to charge it - just through normal use it has mantained its battery level and never run out of juice. Illumination is a bummer, but the hands themselves have some illumination so it is possible to read in low light but difficult. As for useless functions, if you are in the military (this is basically an aviators watch) you constantly have to jump between whatever time zone you are in and Zulu time, Which is actually UTC. So the extra UTC dial is very helpful to me when I 'm working on aircraft systems Which are based entirely on UTC and I ' m sure drivers really enjoy it. Overall, buy a watch based on what you need it for, not Becue it looks cool. If a watch has way to many functions for you to use, buy something cheaper with less options. Accuracy is great, I 'm really anal about my clocks being accurate and check them once a month against the atomic clock in Colorado and have only had to adjust this watch once or twice a year by a couple seconds. Bottom line, this is a great watch, very rugged, very appealing to the eye, very functional. If you like the looks and can actually use the options it comes with, you will be happy with it for a long time. (unless your a moron like me and want the one with the atomic clock receiver)

Keeps great time. I like the fact that I can change time zone so easily. I flew to Ethiopia to Rome. I just had to set the time on a city, press the buttons and everything was good. It 's not scratch proof, but it is robust. I use CHRONOGRAP quite regularly. I wish it were a little 'easier to set up, but I also know that isn ' t going to be stopped or started accidentally. R rmy a disappointment there 's no backlight. I was surprised how well the glow in the dark hands and markers hours on, though.

This is my second Citizen watch sports. I 've taken over two years. As a pilot, I find it very functional. By It 's size, I would recommend the titanium model over the stainless steel. The difference in weight is definitley noticeable. The design of the bracelet and that 's heaviest made the pins in the first models exposed to failure. I miss the feature that allows your hands to change the position at 12 o 'clock access to some of the other functions.

After a lot of research, I finally decided to buy this clock. I was with all the negative reviews, I had seen, is concerned, but I went and bought it. After wearing them for two weeks, I could not be happier with him. Much of the information contained in the other reviews are valid. The alarm is almost inaudible, and the clock can use a little complicated, but these negatives do not outweigh the positives. This is a really nice Clock. The titanium version does not feel any heavier on my wrist than other watches that I have worn over the years. The Eco-Drive feature is amazing. I noticed one night when I fell asleep with him next to me that the hands had stopped moving, but once I turned on the light, they moved to the correct time immediately. If I do it again from scratch, I would this month ago.Citizen Clock Eco-Drive Men bought 's Chronograph Watch # JR3090-58L Skyhawk

This is the best watch I ever owned. Is beautiful and never needs batteries (solar charging) and even modes of energy conservation. R Rbut it 'sa bit difficult to see the hour of the night because he couldn ' t light.

An excellent modern design intergrating the latest watch technology. We bought two of these watches and have no regrets.

I recently bought a PMV65-2242 and would like to share my impressions and opinions with you. Where to start? R r *) Weight. The thing weighs a ton. And I bought the Titanium version, I can only imagine what it's like a steel. An arm 's got to hang a couple of inches shorter than the other. Good thing I wanted to watch a heavy, 'cause it fits the bill to a T. (My Navihawk titanium is so light that I thought the seller had deceived me, and that the box was empty ...) r r * Size). It 's exactly the size indicated in any advertising, but just doesn ' t look so great for me as I thought it would. For me, the bigger the better, so I was unpleasantly surprised. R r *) The anti-reflective glass is quite nice. It 'sa with my pain Navihawks to move my wrist around bright light just to see what time it is. It 's not perfect, but it is much better. R r *) It glows in the dark just great! I can really see what is the time when the light 's out for hours, something that ' s weak point with my Navitimers (I own three). But I'm a pilot and must assess this watch to be great for my work pre-flight - at home on the table. In a vibration of the cockpit and the lack of light makes this unit, in my opinion useless. My Aristo Aviat E6-B flight computer - a circular slide rule of 13 cm (5 ½) diameter - doesn 't fit on my wrist, but is 100 times better, even in a tight cockpit. R r *) The LCD is illuminated. This works very well and should have been in the Navitimer. R r *) The minute hand doesn 't click every 20 seconds as the Navihawk (and in my Breitling), is constantly in motion. (I think it 's not pure in that way, but some others can not.) R R *) The Navihawks were first issued in approx. 1994. This means that its technology is not exactly new and up-to-date, but on the other hand, it certainly does not mean it is not good. Let me list some really neat features of the Citizen that Navihawk Decided to go down rather than build on their series "PMV65-2242 " (which is just ridiculous Citizen obtain these IDs? - It reminds me of Monty Python bit: "... after 6 RST22 PM-5578 ... ") r r *) are the big hands in the way of the LCD window when you 're trying to read it or to make any adjustments or other? No problem: it is soooo sexy with Navihawks to press a button and have those two hands swing up to 12 and stay there until you 're done. Then each goes his own way back where it belongs when you press the button again. Of course it keeps the correct time internally. This new model can 't do that. Why not? There just is not sexy, hands are * really * in the way if you 're trying to do any work with the LCD window between 2 and 4' the real time clock, because the hour hand covers up the window .And if it 's between x and x 10: 20 in real time, the minute hand completely blocks your view. R r *) You Can 't make the UTC time zone on the LCD display to go. With Navitimer you could make it disappear, just like any other time zone that you didn 't want to clutter up your view, but with the new model that is always there, whether you want to step back não.Um . R r *) and then there is the window of the LCD itself. In Navihawk was very well-sized (and easy to read!), But in PMV65-2242 It 's * * about half the size, but the clock face itself is almost 30% higher. They decided to have an extra-large Knobbe at 3:00 O 'clock (I think it ' s For those customers who don 't know what the position means 3:00 ' o clock ...) was better than a large LCD, so they made the half as large LCD window. The only thing that 's more evident in the new model is the source of brandname "Citizen. " That ' s nearly two times higher. I don 't think that a customer has requested that he or she felt was most important. R r *) * * The background color of the display is more black than in Navihawks to discern the black numbers and letters on it is even harder. Why, why, why? R r *) The small analog dials are larger than in Navihawk in PMV65-2242, although the latter has an area of almost 30% more to work. Any idea why Citizen did this? I don 't have a clue. R r *) Can someone tell me why PMV65-2242 has a second hand, when a centimeter is a permanent LCD display telling you the exact second you 're at? I suppose it 's for when you have defined view for the calendar, or if you want to see how close you are to the time of fix radio transmitter (as you don ' t know this anyway ... ), but I think a watch without a second hand (as Navihawks) is great. (With my Breitling you can press a button and it does not go around and around every minute, as a good second hand should, or it goes to 12 and just sits there. That 's the way it can - and should - be done: let the client decide). R r *) A critique of Navihawk so is simply this: why is there an analogue 24-hours with only an hour hand telling him if he 's am or pm? Has anyone thought of looking out the window? I really do not know if it 's 3 in the afternoon or 3 in the morning, I don ' t need a complete link to tell me that. In my opinion, this connection is a total waste. What could they have done is allow us to connect to a different time zone, which allows us to see three time zones at once, even without pressing a button. Or for a half-hour time zone as India or Nova Scotia.But there is, permanently attached to the analog large hour hand. If you 're in a room without windows, I think, and can ' t remember the last time he slept. R r *) Here 'sa secret For those of you who ' ve read this far: * * You can set both clocks to indicate 3 (three!) 24 hours different time zones - all at the same time. Do not press buttons, no buttons, twist, no computer in his head. How? Simple: do not set the zero configuration of the display as UTC to 24, but for the time zone you want, measured from the * * UTC. San Diego, for example, is eight hours behind UTC in winter, so you set the connection as UTC to 16 'o clock. Set your hands on your big digital and Frankfurt to Sydney and you 're feito.Todos the three time zones 24-hour, at the same time. Granted, you have to re-set the zero-configuration of your dial UTC when SD goes to daylight savings time and again when he goes back in time for winter, but resetting it twice a year is a small price. The point is: it can be done without visiting a watchmaker. (I live in Frankfurt and my relative is in San Diego and Sydney - that's why I tried and bought this watch.) R r *) Here 's the last I want to get NIT: All 24-hour analog clock / watch I've ever seen is wrong by 180 degrees. They all start with the top 24 when it should be at the bottom of the face! Let 's Get philosophical for a moment: what the hour in a 24-hour front really do? He points to the sun as it travels through the sky. And where is the sun in 12 'o clock noon? Right: up. Not straight down. So in my example above, I set my UTC analogous zero-position for San Diego not to 16 'o clock, but the 4 ' o clock and just ignore the numbers printed on the dial - they 're out for 180 In the same way ... R Rall at all? I'm not really sure if I had to do it again, if I put out this kind of money for a watch with this many things wrong with it. Why Citizen broken some really good features and make some really obvious mistakes in this watch? I think they are setting up their customers for the next new model in a few years, with these obvious flaws repaired and maybe some new built in, but one that we 'll all want to buy again. I don 't know about you, but it did not think ' t sit well with me. A rGruß, rericha .. ..

Oooh, Blue Angels, the yellow marker. Would 't it be cool to watch the Blue Angels? NO! I actually did purchase it (and return it.) I will admit that the clock does look really cool on line and even when I added it. So what's the problem? Watching this is waaaay too complicated. slide rule feature sounds better than the practical. Manual explains how to use it to teach you how to calculate the flight-related data. Sorry, my bad, I 'm not a pilot. The calculation is not something I worry if to shoot down the enemy flyers in Ace Combat. Alright, let 's say that the years of the next version of Ace Combat will require me to make important calculations flight before I take off, the problem is that the number of slides is miniscule rules and I could hardly read it. R rAlso, do I really need to know the time in Sydney, or Rio or Tokyo, or about a dozen other cities that have been programmed into the watch. If I am able to travel to all of them, whether I would wear a Citizen? Dial so you know where you are in function, namely: time, chrono, date, etc.. too small to read, too. There eternal calendar, I need to play with sticks every month. You can 't set the hand, you set the digital time and the hands will follow (it ISN ' ta big complaint, but it 's hard to see a digitally due to the time window is very small.) R rthe eco-drive not feature a large battery and a blue clock face is good, but really, at the hands messy. if you really want all the features of this watch has been, with a Casio calculator watch may be better at one-tenth of the cost, although no one will fault you for wearing a pilot's watch casio calculator nerd.

A little heavy, and difficult to see at night, and some times light day for me, with good eyes ??... Wonderful, It will last a long time, it ' "tank "

This watch is a steal for the features and durability. Better than any of the higher priced watches if you study what they will do all (then check how much you are paying for the name on the other watches). They would take this watch to the moon now. Great flying and adventure watch with titanium case and band! Tribute to the best drivers out there .... the Blue Angels.

Purchased this watch as a gift for my husband and he is totally in love with him! It is beautiful and has all the features cool gadget that men appreciate!

I first thought was kinda big compared to myTag2000, but grew on me and how his apperience. Very sporty, as i dont get dressed up and most often found in some sweats or cargo pants this watch is perfect with my dress nonshalant. I like the lightness of titanium and also the 5yr warranty, for the guy above who have problems with the display after some years', try using your friend warranty. Love the watch!

Can not get this model in Australia, I am pleased to receive an email from Amazon says they now watches the international ships. R rPromptly ordered a watch from them and received it 10 days later in time for my birthday. Thanks great service Amazon. R rthe watch has a warranty of five years in the United States but still has 1 year international warranty that I can use in Australia. Which should be a lot if something is wrong. R rThings I don 't like: The hands that are difficult to distinguish at night a little bit at the end of the luminous material every minute and hour hands are about the same size and impossible to choose which one is in darkness. There are no half-hour time zone settings, but I knew this before I buy an hour. Crystal is very prominent and even though I haven 't cut it yet, no doubt will. Crystals are also very reflective so disturbing to read the dial UTC. I know the body will watch in 13mm thick and is two times I watched the previous high that it is difficult to wear a business shirt with tight cuffs. The bracelet-style band is very stiff and not in accordance with the form of my wrist. No one noticed I had a new watch. R rThings I like: dial UTC great, most people I now deal with meeetings quoted in UTC time. Timer that counts down allows me to get out of the kitchen doing other things and still reminded to take the roast from the oven. Solar power, no more battery change. Hold the water for swimming and diving. Titanium makes the watch very light for it 's size. R RMY ideal world would see the time Tissot T-touch in titanium with a gold plate, UTC dial, tritium luminous hands, Champagne Gold LCD face and citizen eco-drive solar power, water resistant to 100m. R rUntil they made this one I hope solar cells in the Skyhawk doesn 't expire.

I 'm very disappointed with this watch. Less than a year after buying it, has a malfunction of the screen and displays a blank space instead of the character of cities from the first box. So now I have "to " instead "the " (Denver), "SR " instead "CHI " (Chicago), "to " instead "LON ( London) and so on. RFrustrating. Citizens must change its name to citizens ... Never again!

Having run the gammut with many plated watches in my life, Whose plating soon gets eroded from my wrist sweat, causing the bare pot metal case (and plated crowns) to turn my wrist black, I decided this time to either get a stainless steel or titanium watch, Which will never have that sort of problem again. I have had my watch for about two months thus far. R rI chose this watch because i liked the contrasty color combinations of the blue face, the hour / minute hands, and the very easy to see second hand, Which I believe is the bright yellow color "chrome yellow " (as is the trim on the outer slide rule). Also, nobody has seemed to mention the 5 year manufacturer guarantee in other reviews that come standard with this watch ... r rthe eco-drive is worth fully understanding in the purchase decision; the face of the watch picks up light from all sources available light (room light, sunlight, etc..), and automatically recharges the battery, Which has a much longer lifespan than the standard watch battery. r rI agree that a light would be a nice addition to the digital portion of the watch, this has been my only "nice-to-have " addition. r rthe watch takes a little trial-and-error training to use all of its features, which include the ability to have 3 separate alarms across any of the available time zones, I still haven 't mastered all of its functionality, and am learning the functionality on an as-needed basis. The user manual that comes with the watch is very good for this purpose. R rI like the fact that the year is a part of the date / time setup, something that is a new watch feature for me, as Opposed to a month / day setup only, Which always required adjusting the day at the beginning of a new month, for prior months that had less than 31 days. r rthe watch appears to be a rugged, quality watch, not gaudy as in diamond-studded , but a stylish watch that can be worn in many situations. The band is also OEM titanium, and has a double-locking clasp, with one portion of the folding clasp over the other portion, then locking a second time. r rif you hold the stainless steel version in your hand, and then hold the titanium version before buying, as I did, the titanium version is very noticably lighter, and for me, was worth the difference in price (about $ 60 more for the titanium model in my purchase). r rso far, I am very pleased with my purchase, a light would be a nice addition in the LCD. The 5 year guarantee some additional added value "clout " to the purchase, Which was an important factor for me.

I had the Navihawk in the last ten years and decided to take the lead eco Skyhawk. R rFor previous owners Navihawk, this is a great upgrade because they have improved the functioning of the buttons, and how it changes from time to time trial calendar, etc. .. You won 't see accidentially change the function to get caught on your sleeve. R RALS closure is much better because it locks in. .. the Navihawk had a standard clip on it. R rBeen a pilot for 10 years, and I noticed that 's kinda a signature for the pilots to pull the trigger ... and indulge! I 've had my new one for 3 months and I ' m glad I did!

I ordered this watch because it was classy-looking, solar energy, had many interesting electronic features, and (unlike many models Navihawk) had an opportunity analog (which is an important feature for my profession). Compared to my old Navihawk, however, the digital displays on the show were much too small. Between the fact that they are black letters on a gray background have no backlight, and are located so that the rim of the show casts a shadow over them - they 're too hard to read. As for the slide rule bezel, you just about need a magnifying glass to read those characters. And construction of titanium makes this watch is not significantly lighter than my stainless steel Navihawk. If you need a search cool analog watch with second hand, this watch will do. I decided to come back to me, though. If you actually want to read the electronic characters have an equally cool looking watch, and pay less money, look for a similar Navihawks citizens with digital display on the right side of the face.

Love do not need to take care of batteries. Love the multiple time zone capability: it is easy to use. The clock is accurate, easy and comfortable to wear. You 'll have to use bifocals, the E6B slide-rule style ;-) if you have eyes like me. Only one thing could improve, would add a light on the digital component. Other than that, this is a big clock.

I bought this watch to replace an earlier version of 1997. I like some of the improvements like scrolling through the features with the dial. My old watch changes to the following feature (alarm, chronograph, etc.). If I ran into a wall. I also hope that as the ecological unit that 'll have to wait and see if the watch is loaded through the years. I still love the 24 hours of time and timezones. I traveled extensively around the world and this feature alone is worth it. Ras R so don 't care, the clock STILL doesn ' t have a light so that 's impossible to read at night. Luminus The areas are the same, for which employs around 30 minutes if you put a torch to them. R rif has a large doll, which does not feel comfortable on the clock. The band is fixed for the first three links so it is comfortable and has a little hair of his wrist. R GH bought the titanium in the hope of a clock's incredibly light, but weighs the same as their coworkers and stainless watch old. I 'ma little disappointed that ' s not light.

The question is watch is a better choice than the Seiko, which costs less? It is lighter, because this the titanium, but important? The Seiko is stainless steel, weighs more, and that means your arm will be stronger! Seiko has a better reputation as a higher quality watch, in my opinion and experience. The number of Citizen bezel wear, read! - Is that cool for a watch that costs as much as a Citizen? No! But, even if you have a battery to wear when you are on a flight and have the clock function, so I guess it makes sense afterall - emphasis on the word "guess. " R r [...] .
