CitizenMen's Eco-Drive Promaster Skyhawk A-T Watch, Brown Dial, Brown Leather Strap, Atomic Timekeeping (Model: JY8084-09H)

I'm a fan of Citizen watches, both for their look and their practicality. I have a Nighthawk that's over 15 years old and it still runs like a champ. The only thing it didn't have that I wanted was radio controlled timekeeping.Enter the Promaster Skyhwak A-T. It does it all and it's gorgeous.Just some of the features I use:1. UTC time (formerly Grenich Mean Time) I am an amatuer astronomer and I do a bunch of astrophotography. Times are almost always given in UTC, so having that on my watch is very handy, and allows me to set local time and the world time of my choice, for three separate clocks.2. Two time clocks for monitoring time in different regions. We travel a bunch and that means we're often in a different time zone. This watch lets me know what time it is back home, minimizing the 2am phone calls.3. Stop watch. Astrophotography is time depedant for long exposures, and knowing when your target is available and for how long is critical. The stop watch/timer lets me keep track of that so I never accidentally miss the shot.4. Alarms. I don't need to travel with an alarm clock. I have one on my wrist. It backs up my watch, which I've learned to snooze in my sleep. Can't do that with the watch!5. The slide rule bezel. Yes, I'm a nerd. I love slide rules, and the one on this watch is fully functional, including for conversion factor. Gallins to liters, miles to kilometers, and so on. As a Skyhawk, there are also plenty of flight calculations and conversion built into it.6. Atomic time keping. This watch synchronizes with the atomic clock each night, ensuring that you're watch is acorrect up to a fraction of a second. Now, this requires a bit of exlpanation.The time signal is sent out from a centralized location in America and Europe, China and Japan. A radio in the watch attempts to receive that signal three times a night. Two are hard coded in; one is adjustable. At these times, the watch "listens" for the time code. You can adjust it to pick up the correct signal for the area you are in. If it picks up the signal, then your watch will adjust itself to the correct time. If not, you can run the search manually, or just wait for tomorrow night. I live in the mountains of East Tennessee, pretty far away from the signal source. My watch updates about once or twice a month.I can increase that by wearing it to bed, since my body apparently acts like giant antenna.One thing I'd like to see added to the citizen is someway to determine the time and date of the last successful update. The only thing you can check is whether the last attempt wa successful or not.7. Eco drive. Light powers this watch, and if it lasts as long as my Nighthawk, I'll be supremely happy. No winding, no auto winding, no batteries and no dead atches. If there's medium bright light, it's charging. There's an indication of the charge on the dial, and the instructions say a full charge will last for weeks, if not months!Final note, it is a handsome watch. The brown leather strap sets off the gold bezel and silver body of the watch. The black dial and white markings create an easy to read watch face. And that remonds me of the final feature I use.8. The back light. The Nighthawk does not have a back light, and the glowing hands never really worked well for me. The Skyhawk, on the other hand, is very easy to read at night.All in all, I'm very happy with this watch, and will purchase another Citizen down the road. There's a Calandrier I have me eye on...

Beautiful watch, even at MSRP. I bought this for my brother who makes a fortune, but doesn't spend a time on himself. He's a simpler guy, so this was perfect. He loved it. Could be a daily or a special occasion watch.He is also a lazy guy, so no standard battery watches. He goes automatic. He doesn't do a smart watch, I bought him one of those too! Battery is light-powered and replaceable. It's Ecodrive, so runs off of light, any light! He was telling me how he was getting ready to adjust the time and it did it by itself. Didn't even know it did that.Case is pretty cool as well. No complaints and he wore it to a baby shower Saturday. Perfect gift for your modest man with a watch from a well-recognized brand.

Looks great, digital part is very discrete (one of the reason I didn't want to buy an A-T in the past). Same applies for the vernier bezel. Does everything (light charging, radio controlled, etc). Luminosity on hands is great, not like in the past citizens lagging behind Seiko or other. Maybe I would prefer if it was a little lighter but since it has leather strap it's OK.

Perfect ratio of style and utility.

This watch is going to appeal to some -- but it simply wasn't my thing. The watch wears even bulkier than its stated specs on my 6 3/4" wrist. While I love the idea of this watch (solar, atomic timekeeping, slide rule bezel, chronograph, etc) -- those things are executed in a way that isn't quite elegant enough; the dial is much too busy in practice to be usable as a day to day watch for me. Breitling on a budget can work in theory but this watch just doesn't seem to be able to pull it off. Too bad. I really wanted to like this one. Amazon accepted my return no questions asked. Wonderful buying and return experience as usual.

Very good watch quality, 100% recommended, can use for casual wear and more 👌

Looks absolutely elegant and timeless. Works perfectly. Very happy with this purchase.

Gorgeous, fascinating, works beautifully
