 An almost immaculate watch if not for these few issues August 15, 2010
V. Maluh (East Lansing, MI, USA)
I had been looking for a watch that needed no maintenance and had great looks and features, at the same time not super expensive. Citizen Skyhawk A-T Titanium does a great job at all of those. The watch is beautiful and has a solid feel to it. The titanium version costs about $250 more than the stainless steel version. For people with skinnier wrists, the wearing comfort is well worth the extra money. Unlike some watches which offer to store telephone numbers and so on, this watch does one thing really great and that is to show time.
Much so that I like this watch, there are a few things that citizen ignored which disappointed me. Although most of them have already been pointed out by other reviewers, I figured I will add the things that I noticed which I didn't find in other reviews.
1) When you look at the watch in total darkness especially when its sitting on a table, its hard to figure out the 12 o clock position because all the positions are made alike. I have seen $50 watches which make the 12 position bigger. I have no clue why this was done so.
2) At first glance, the watch looks like its loaded with all sorts of dials but after closer look, its apparent that most of the dials were not necessary. They could have saved some real-estate and made space for other useful displays like having analog date for the analog time and so on, because currently, if you set the home time zone different from world time zone, the date is only shown for one of them and not both. Also, they could have had a mode where the digital display would show the time and day-date together.
3) For a watch with an everlasting battery, it would have been good if they had made the LED back-light for the whole dial. This would have been especially helpful to change the mode in the night since it involves rotating the crown.
I am a little disappointed that citizen missed these things. I would have paid more just to have these features. Other than that, I would say this watch is as close to perfection as you can get for the price.
Finally, my advice to prospective buyers is to go to a jewelery store and try on both the titanium and stainless steel versions before purchasing.
 Great Watch July 22, 2010
P. Walton (Fredericksburg, VA)
I got the watch on a friday nite and spent the time going over the CD and instructions on setting up the watch the way I wanted. Instructions were clear and easily understood. The watch has plenty of features I wanted in a watch, especially UTC display, alarms, etc... the best thing though is the built in accuracy and it's light weight. This is a big watch but it doesn't feel that way because of the titanium build. I own another Citizen titanium watch (which I still have) and it soldiered on for well over a decade. The Eco-Drive feature is a feature I'm confident I'm going to like as I don't have to worry about battery life any longer.
Very Nice watch indeed May 12, 2010
A. Pal (San Jose, CA)
This brand has been very very special to me right some childhood, so finally chose to present myself with one of its kind. After much deliberation chose the JW0010-52E Eco-Drive Promaster SST Stainless Steel Watch.
For everyone here out to buy one, please do try out from a local store before ordering. Your choice may change depending on the size. The Promaster is a HUGE watch (5.4 diam cross section) and is going to feel large on not so big wrists. So went ahead and bought this one. I am really very much pleased with my second choice because it feels big and is yet not overbearing. The difference between a stainless steel and titanium versions is prominent once you get a chance to compare both side side. steel is hefty and will feel heavy after a few days so you might not want to put that on for everyday use. But again that's a personal choice. However, titanium is much lighter and more comfortable to wear. The LED light is OK. The light will only not be effective under direct sunlight, but under such conditions, you won't probably be using the feature anyway. The 24 HR inner dial seems to be a bit redundant but is a nice show off and overall this watch does have a look which is meant to deliver and not just look good. The time and date is bound to timezone in right hand display. The design is rock solid.
About the cons :
A sapphire crystal would have been a nice value addition.
The display could have been made bigger for better visibility (I loved the display under the Promaster dashboard)
Overall a great watch for this price.
best watch ever April 6, 2010
jay taylor (daytona beach, florida)
It's light, easy to read, waterproof, maintenance-free and has a busy face that makes you seem smart. If you see me flying your plane--whether calculating stuff with the watch bezel or not--you will probably not make it, but the slide rule looks smart.
The titanium pins slide out of the adjustable band pieces and snag things sometimes. Other than that, it's the perfect watch.
Comparison with prior edition Citizen Skyhawk March 23, 2010
Reiff Lorenz (Dayton, OH USA)
I owned the previous model Citizen Eco-Drive Skyhawk Titanium and recently bought the Skyhawk AT Titanium. Here is a comparison for others who are considering the upgrade. The new edition:
* Has a larger face, with a more readable UTC dial and larger digital display. The face is much more visible at night.
* Has a louder alarm. You still won't hear it if the watch is under a pillow, and don't even think about in the cockpit, but it is much improved. The new edition has 2 alarms instead of 3.
* Does a great job synchronizing with the national time signal. I'm 1000 miles from the signal in Colorado, and I get a strong signal during the day near a window, and also inside at night -- when the auto-sync is scheduled.
* Does not stop the second hand in the dark. The old model would quit ticking when the lights went out. I never minded that the second hand stopped -- it ensured that I never heard the ticking at night. Fortunately the new model is absolutely silent.
* Requires the crown to be pulled out in order to change modes. On the older model, one could just twist the crown without pulling it out. The new way is a minor inconvenience. At least the new crown is larger, with better texture, so it's much easier to pull out.
* Has white numbers painted on a plastic black bezel for the E6B circular slide rule flight computer. These are easier to read than the prior edition's black numbers engraved in titanium, but I doubt they will last as long.
