Absolutely love this watch. Glad Citizen went with the sapphire crystal 👌. Instruction manual is like a small phone book..lol. Once you get the hang of it, very easy to navigate. I have the Blue angels edition.
I don't get it wet. No problem with bracelet . The bezel came off somehow and and couldn't find it so I had to have it replaced by Cititzen,@@hamada-1987
I have one of these watches but it's a red arrows version. They are basically a skyhawk in a slightly different format, of which I also have one as well. Packed with features and as accurate as only a radio controlled watch can be. Be warned, you have to have a fairly large wrist because they're pretty hefty. Great watches!
Wow! One of the sharpest and sportiest watches I've seen. I currently own the Citizen AT4004-52E which is very similar in terms of having a sapphire crystal and atomic radio controlled. However, I would prefer this Blue Angels model because of the backlight along with the white markers. My current Citizen has gold inlays with black markers which are very hard to see. It is more dressy but I can't see it at night which defeats the purpose. Great review! Thanks!
I got the snowbirds version of this exact same watch. Got it 3 months ago. Love it! Got it mainly because of the accurate time keeping, and perpetual calendar. All the other features are just a bonus that I will probably rarely use.
Good review. Love the watch now and will probably pick one up. It will be nice to get to know all of the functions. I really like the dual time zone function which will come in handy for me. Thank you.
Noce review! I love this watch. I picked up a preowned one yesterday. Unfortunately, the seller no longer had the owner’s manual. It will take a while to master this one looking to the online manual now and then. I immediately ordered a new strap for mine. It looks great, but the hard plastic lining on the leather is terrible.
Thanks for the review. Quick question; If the hour and minute hands are covering the digital displays for example at 3:20pm or at 4: 45pm; Can the hands be moved away from the digital display so that the user can use the chronograph ?
Totally agree definitely the best out of the skyhawk rage with the less busy dial and having the Safire cristal with anti reflecting makes this watch really stand out but I have to say the New red arrows limited edition version witch is virtually the same apart it having a stainless steel strap and being in red its even better. Great review check out the jy8079 model awesome watch.
Great review on this stunning winner! This helps more than the actual citizen sites which have different specs for different regions. Are the lugs a definite 22mm? Seems like there is quite a range of values from 20mm to 24mm from different sites and sources.
@@fiveminutewatchreviews4197 oh ok, then what dive watch do u recommend me that has a great lume, can take hits, is not too big, is under 300$ and is not discontinued like the skx for example ?
Im getting mine on May 4th. I got a really really really good deal on it. Retail is 695.00 and I picked it up for 291.00. Mine didn't come with the leather band, but the metal band. I might end up changing the band because it has the buttons on the sides which may make it easy to unlock and make it annoying to wear.
I have owned this watch for 3 weeks. I absolutely love it! The slide rule is actually quite fun to learn and useful. Don't let it intimidate you.
Have you encountered problems with the leather bracelet because of the water or the sun?
How much did you buy it for??

I just picked up the black promaster skyhawk a-t with a stainless band. What a watch. These two are just so beautiful. And functional.
Wife got me one for xmas. I love it. Looks great. I’m very happy. Thx for your review.

You got such a good wife......
I decided not to get it wet. So no problems with the band. @@evolution8662

I agree its one of the best looking sport watches.

Great watch! Many complications and yet very legible. It does it all. Mine is one of my favourites. Citizen make quality timepieces.
Very nice looking watch. Also this same design comes in
Black/orange design (Jy8075-51e). Also look at citizen navihawk - another beautiful design.
Good review. Love the watch now and will probably pick one up. It will be nice to get to know all of the functions. I really like the dual time zone function which will come in handy for me. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
well, I learned a lot from this video: that he loves that watch.

You can download a PDF manual from Citizen's website.

Bought the same watch. Love it and great video. Keep it up 😃

That's a nice watch too. Very bold. I really like the red arrows on the subdials.

Is it possible to extend the LED lighting from 2 to 3 or even 4 seconds?
That’s literally the only question I have about this watch lol. I just got mine, but I don’t think you can change the LED timer
Have you encountered problems with the leather bracelet because of the water or the sun?
The bracelet has like a lining to protect the leather. But in hot weather metal or rubber is best.
I got the red arrows, red hawk. The case is cool.
Yes, I really like this blue and yellow combination.
Great review. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Very nice
Thank you
@@fiveminutewatchreviews4197 I ordered one 😂
Great review!! What’s the lug to lug on this?
@@christiani3454 Probably a late response, but 22mm is the strap width, not the lug to lug. Lug to lug is something like 49mm.
What part of Europe you are from ?
I am from eastern Europe but came to US as a boy.
Rotating bezel black or blue?
Dark Blue
is this and the stateless steel band hand made in japan?
I am not 100% sure if they are made in Japan, it says Japanese movement i think.
All Citizen Eco-Drive movements are made in Japan but the case or the bracelet may also be made in China. ;)
Which is better? Stainless or leather strap?
I like how the leather strap colors further enhance this watch, the stainless still has slightly different color combination.
does the lume last a whole night?
no
@@fiveminutewatchreviews4197 oh ok, then what dive watch do u recommend me that has a great lume, can take hits, is not too big, is under 300$ and is not discontinued like the skx for example ?
@@gonzague3820 Seiko turtle 🐢
@@fiveminutewatchreviews4197 ok thanks
That doesn't matter too much because there is a backlight.
The glass is safire??
Yes
Yes is its sapphire glass.
I thought you're arnie from your voice 😅
I'll be back! :)

Thats awesome, metal band for it looks nice also but I like it on this strap.
Where did you found it so cheap?? I love this watch
@@hydepunk666 I got it from Belk. They were having a huge sale plus my wife opened an account and got an additional 20% off on top of the sale.
@@whitewolf41581 thanks for answer :)
Borat is that you!?
