Reviews

I saw and tasted watch it several times in several shops before I bought here on Amazon. How Amazon each time the packet being fast and without problems. RThen if I had this guy on my watch, I was very lucky: this piece is truly extraordinary. The big case give a good feeling and high-tech-looking good is a pleasure for me. RNO battery lifetime, always exactly on time (almost) everywhere, some good chronographic utilities, and a case and strap indestructible, and also waterproof to 600 ft. Ri think this watch is one of the things, which I would like to keep myself on a lonely island in, and I can advice it to everybody who likes wonderful watch.

So "I have had this watch about a week and now I love it! The build quality is impressive and can tell the Japanese labor is still strong. R rLooks - I think the watch looks great. It is very big on the wrist, but that looks good for today 's standards. heavy like a watch that was given to the designers to make smart. If I had to make a car analogy, I ' d say it would have feel as if Lexus did a heavy truck. R rWorkmanship - The quality is excellent. The hands line up perfectly on target. Ticks second hand, where the second hand is supposed to tick that I find it annoying if doesn 't. (I ' omegas I saw that Don 't even line up correctly.) The minute hand also moves a little each time the second hand ticks, the quality is definitely there. R rFunctions - calendar, timer, stopwatch, alarm 1, alarm 2, and of course Atomic Time Synchronization. There is also a dual time zone feature is very useful (the time zone and time zone away, simply press a few buttons and switches them vice versa). The only problem is that if you want to see the current date will display the date time zone away. This is a little upset to see the date and time, the zones should be set to the same city. The calendar functions however, would be more useful for real drivers (which I am not), because in reality probably land in the time zone away. R rWeight - This watch is a good weight, not too heavy, not too light. It is well balanced. This practically means that you should expect that the non-titanium (ie stainless steel), version to be very heavy! R rIlluminating hands - at night the lighting is pretty good. There is a large surface area so that lighting is very easy to read. The lighting seems to fade very quickly however if I 't test for how long. (The clock ticks briefly lights in the daytime when you are out in the sun and then enter a room with normal lighting, I Don 't mind personally.) R rSliding Rule Bezel - I like the role and I think that is really useful. If take the time to learn this old-school calculator, is impeccable and very practical. It is best for multiplication and division, doesn 't the addition or subtraction. R rec Drive - is difficult to know how well it works, but so far so good. R rOverall - I love this watch is sturdy but stylish. It also has a very impressive set of bells and whistles. Titanium looks good, but also reveals enough light to use all time without having to think about it. I give it 4.7 stars. Nearly perfect.

I went a long time thinking about a watch and finally decided to make a decision. I have Rolex and other high end names in mind when I started and is ready to spend the $ $ to get what I want. However, Citizen that gave me a good package of options to watch it at a very reasonable price. I often cross time zones so the ability to switch to my local travel time while knowing the date and time at home is important to me. Having to worry about the battery is a big bonus and the automatic setting of time means one less thing I think about. R Rif you are thinking about saving a few bucks by not getting the model of titanium ... cheer! A world of difference between weight of titanium and stainless steel mode. Unfortunately I can not find a dealer in my area that contains titanium models so I will go to faith. Maybe you won 't have to make the same leap of faith I. If you do, can I just say I was not disappointed. I was shocked how much lighter it.

This is the hour to get if you want a state of art technology in a watch and an amazing and affordable. You can shop aound the best deal and if you do not mind the risk of ebay has several stores that offer half of it I bought most of the stuff from amazon ebay but sometimes have a very low price. I cheated twice on ebay and always just buy from the rank> 99% with a lot of sales. RMost people buy this model for the first atomic clock. I live in California and it works great. At first I tried to connect to an atomic clock transmitting on demand ". I'm not sure why it did not get a signal. Then I placed it beside the window from the second floor bedroom. The next morning when I check the updated by an atomic clock. (My check against the U.S. at the web and also the status displayed on the clock said it had received signals from the radio and set the time with it) rthe second most likely reason for buying this watch is for solar power. clock when I receive it is fully charged ( Unlike most mobile phones). The manual will run for 6 months when fully charged. Filling in the almost totally watch completely discharged in the sun takes 20 hours or 60 hours with overcast skies. I 'll have to put it in the sun once every 3 months or put it under my desk lamp once a week. I wear the watch under a long-sleeved shorts and never expose it to light. Rthe third reason is for weight (titanium). While watching the Hugh 'it light , lighter than the standard Rolex. I have not tried other versions of the same watch, but you can save $ 50 to $ 100 for other versions of the more severe. If I have this second option would be a black belt that someone wants to watch the colors seen in the cold. Rther many functions of this watch can do and most of which I will not be used. Clock comes with a CD which has all the info you need to adjust the clock. Which is much better than the manual very small print that I had difficulty reading. I made a copy of the cd into my laptop. I can assure you I do not remember how to do most things without referring to the documentation. I 'll give you one example. Hours and hours have second homes "world 'clock that you set for a city you travel to most often. Let ' s say you fly there and now you want to switch to two hours. 1. Pull crown to position 1 (no 2 positions). 2. Turn the crown to set the mode to TME or cal (there are 8 modes). 3. Pressing the A and B at the same time until you hear the sound. Two hours had to switch. 4. Turn the crown back to the standby original. 5.Crown back into position. It's easy if you follow the instructions, but it is difficult to remember. Rthe large crown size compared to other standards such as Rolex watches. It's okay if you only need to do some things. If you try many things as I was when I got it new, you break your nails. So you may want to get a tool to help you if you plan to use the crown for more than 10 minutes. Almost all require adjustment using the crown. Chronograph function at all that makes you only use two buttons and no crown again. Just to set the alarm once it 2. Rther much more pro 's to watch but I want to say something about the con ' s. Led display is too small for me and even when using light difficult to read. If you really want to use a digital reading a lot of you must have a very good eye. I do not know what is the use of UTC hour and minute hands? R12/16/2008 Now I have been using the alarm several times I wanted to add some comments. There are 2 alarm settings. They are all very easy to do. Setting the alarm on the digital part. Be careful about the am and pm settings. It's not by the hour and minute parts, and in the lower right and kill another person says the alarm difficult to hear, but I feel quite acceptable and praised enough for me ...

This is the ultimate Clock: It 's Light (Titanium), highly functional (I get' ll that in a moment), Eco-Drive (powered by the sun, no batteries required), will require radio-controlled ( No setting) - that is, in other words, a total dummy, and you can not read the manual and the clock would still work - forever! R RSO yes, there are 2 alarms, chronograph, fly-calculation bezel (no idea how to use), world time, power reserve, date, 2 Time, AM / PM indicator - the only thing missing is a compass, thermometer and barometer! Only problem is the access to these functions is not always easy and intuitive, and it's pretty ugly. The band is a mix of brushed and shiny titanium. formed with a black face with technical markings covered more sound less function.

Great watch! I bought it from designertimepiece.com. They 're not an authorized reseller, however I felt it was worth the large discount in price. I only paid $ 460 shipped! The watch is of great construction and very light. The digital displays are a tiny, be prepared to look at your watch if you 're using them. The backlighting is awesome, works great on NVGs. The face is easy to read and the atomic clock feature is great! Just make sure you take off your watch at night, apparently it needs to be motionless to receive the signal. The battery charges quickly in the sun, after an hour or two on the window sill it was already at full load. r rI 'll update after a few months.

This is my Radio Controlled Watch 4 (1 & 3 Casios Citizen). R GOOD rthe: It's really beautiful. It's very, very well done. Synchronizes perfectly both here and in Europe (except for steel framed buildings). The dials are easy to read, even at night. R rthe BAD: The information display is very small, I can 't read it in motion (I have 20-20 vision with my glasses). Other characteristics totally unnecessary. Purpose titanium very heavy (large). The alarm is impossible to hear (my hearing is less than perfect). The watch band can 't be micro-adjusted. R UGLY rthe: None r rSUMMARY : great watch, highly recommended. R rP.S. Citizen Call up and check if your watch needs a ROM update.

Yes, I bought this watch, brand new, including a Macy 's 2-year renewable all-inclusive warranty in addition to factory warranty for a total price of $ 420 including tax. Why so low? The Macy 's everyday price was already marked down from the $ 795 MSRP tag, opened a Macy ' s account which gave me a 20% discount, other promotional discounts Fine Jewelry Department. Why a Macy 's warranty in addition to the Citizen factory warranty? The Macy 's warranty includes repair of cosmetic damage, including buffing out scratches to retain the original finish. I was sold on the spot. BTW, I wore the stainless steel version for a week and this titanium is Weightless in comparison. I love it!

I had several watches Citizen Eco-Drive. This is the best but because of the addition of being able to synchronize with the atomic clock, along with an Eco-Drive light powered by batteries. R Ras far as I can tell, my watch is sycronizing with the atomic clock automatically every night - because when I compare my times to the Atomic Clock radio table, both are in perfect sync. I manually synced several times and have had no problems in my position to Southern Cal. Watch R rthe has lots of functionality, Sone that I find useful and some not: rValuable - 99 hours timer and stopwatch, digital display, different time zones, and time UTC rless precious to me - 24 hours ( I can usually tell if it is PM or by looking through the window), alarms (it's almost have to be awake and the clock next to your ear to hear them) and the line "computer" (it seems pretty complicated). R rSetting the clock and using the tools is quite complex, but generally intuitive. Pointer UTC is rather difficult to see when the need to align all hands in an upright position is required. Switching time zones is not too difficult, but if you have a good memory, you want to be close instructions. Face R rthe is huge and looks like you are wearing a computer - I carry the mind with the inside face so passers usually only see the back of the band. R rthe titanium is fairly light, but I would say that the steel version may be a bit 'on the heavy side. R rthe brightness looks the same as any other watch - it would be really nice if brightness teaser, like the Luminox. R rthe mineral crystal and sapphire, but not - but I ultimetly can scratch each type of crystal, however. R rthe band is an individual unlike the double zipper closure that I had on my previous Eco-drive. However, I used a unique closure Rolex for many years and never had any problems - so probably not a big deal. R ref this watch has the features you want, this is the watch you can simply put on and never take off. R rit 's not cheap. R rI personally love it!

The titanium case is great, lighter and less shiny look than stainless. I also have the Citizen Skyhawk "Blue Angels " model. AT is slightly larger in diameter. The small LCD displays in AT is not as ht.access as the Blue Angels 'display in daylight, but has a bottom so it can be used at night. I live about 1000 miles from Ft Collins NIST transmitter and my example of HRT will assist you only need to pick up the signal time control, and only if I put the watch in a window and the position exactly right. I own a couple of cheap plastic radio controlled alarm clocks and can take the time signal anywhere in our house during the day or night. This citizen AT just get the signal at night (when it 's typically stronger). R rthe other differences between AT and the older "Blue Angels " model are the buttons and clocks. In my opinion, the smoother the rectangular buttons in BA are less likely to snag on clothing and smoother "two-tone " band of the BA model is much more beautiful. BA also has a safety lock about the release of the band, which was dropped from the model AT. This makes it easier to remove the clock, but also makes it more likely to accidentally release the band. R line rbottom: The time of automatic adjustment is great if you 're in an area of strong signal, but if you don ' t mind manually reset the clock every two months (lost my 10 sec. / per month), the Blue Angels Model Titanium is a nicer design and half the price.

This clock is a very broad goals because it's so light it feels much smaller. UTC I like the line of the face and haven 't had any problems with the clock. E 'was really cool to get the watch and see the energy meter at half full and then set the window to get a full charge. The radio-controlled function of time seems to be very precise (tested against several other atomic clocks which I have). My only problem is that to get the time to show you have to choose the same time zone as an area of the house. Otherwise, I will give the date of another time zone. So, for my watch I LAX for my home area and in order to obtain the correct date, I had to choose LAX for the second time zone.

I ordered a Skyhawk titanium and when I opened the box looked like it had opened earlier. The outer box was bent and worn and it showed that the procedures manual and others had been used before. R see rthe was clean so I thought I would keep it. I soon found out why someone had returned the first time. The clock was intemittent in some of its functions, especially when it comes to getting the time from the time server in Denver. At first I would read the signal, I called citizens (good support) and they had me do a hard reset on the clock. Things seemed to be better for a day and then lost the signal again. After doing another reset and ZERO HANDS configuration, it worked again for a couple of hours later it stopped. R GH returned the watch to Amazon with no problem at all. Unfortunately, the clock is out of stock so it can not replace it. R rI to buy another when it becomes available. R rI got this clock "3 " as it was sent to use, but I Amazon a "5 " with their return policy.

Although "I am not a pilot, I 've always liked the / line Navihawk Skyhawk Citizen Titanium watches. My brother is a commercial pilot and is the oldest. He loves. They are too cold. But I never liked the fact that didn 't have a backlight for LCD displays. Well, now you do! has an amber-colored backlight that works very well. This watch is the new titanium version of the most JY0000 heavy steel-53E that came out last year. r Rof course the weight of this watch is ridiculously light due to the titanium construction. To see so great, I can tell you that ' s in. I can 't stand a watch high bounce arm. I know, this is definitely a great watch. But it seems the current trend (which I like). r rthe atomic time function Works like a charm. I also like the world had time on my hands. I have relatives living abroad, so that 's nice to see their local time, a glance. R Rit 's great to know that will never change batteries with this watch. Solar energy "Eco-Drive " is a feature amazing to see that every company should have. r rthe has seen 2 alarms, time zones (43 cities), solar power, atomic time, a countdown timer, a chronograph, a slide rule, the UTC time, 24-hour clock, ultra-lightweight and almost indestructible titanium construction, 200 meter water resistant, mineral glass and is excellent. What more can you ask for? I even washed the dishes, bathrooms and windows. But I 't looked at these without those features, the 115 page manual (English portion). R Rone what 'is missing is a function of contact for all hands of 12 ' clock in the position disable the LCD during certain hours. hands occasionally obscure your attempts to read the LCD 's. Another little complaint is that they should remove and rotate the crown to check the date. I 'll show the dates of the second zone only. You must do a few more steps to get the date of the home if the area is second timezone through the date of you. I think there are 'sa Way to set the LCD 2 to display the date all the time, but I ' t found the way to do this yet. (Correction 4/1/08: I don 't think there is any way You can get LCD 2 to display the date.) r rForget Rolex, Breitling, and Omega. That could be cool and have their high-falutin image, but are far from the functionality and practicality of this new citizen. And all priced around 10 times. There are also heavier. r rbottom line: It 's virtually indestructible, ultralight, maintenance and adjustment free. I never have time to adjust new or I had to change the battery or put it in a clock-wind (for automatic). I 'ma big fan and proud owner of one of the best watches on the planet.
