| | Description | The company was established in 1924. The founding fathers selected the name Citizen so it would be "Close to the Hearts of People Everywhere" and soon after adopted the company's formal name, Citizen Watch Company.
During the last seventy-five years Citizen has expanded its business throughout the world and has achieved recognition as the global brand. The past twenty-five year period has coincided with the company's dramatic rise to its current position as the world's largest watchmaker, a distinction Citizen has held every year since 1986.
Beyond sheer size, Citizen is also recognized as a worldwide leader in advanced technology. From the world's slimmest LCD watch to the first voice recognition watch and the world's first professional dive watch with an electronic depth sensor, Citizen's record of "world's firsts" is unmatched.
More recently, Citizen has staked out a new position as the leader in Ecologically Friendly timekeeping with its Eco-Drives watches that are light powered. With models ranging from dress models to sports models to professional dive watches, Citizen Eco-Drive runs continuously in any kind of natural or artificial light for a lifetime of use. Fueled by light, it never needs a battery. | |

Great watch Mar 02, 2010
I am very happy with this watch. At first I was unhappy because the band broke twice, but I later found out that the girl that sized the bracelet for me used the wrong pins. So i recommend going to a good jeweler, or a watch store. not walmart or some department store.Nice looking watch, good weight. I'm very happy

As an owner of several similar style chronographs, including Seiko and another Citizen Eco-Drive, this is the watch I wear daily. I find this watch exceptional. Some of the complaints others have mentioned seem to be just a little picky in my opinion considering the context. Most of the "cons", like the size of the digital display and fact that it is not back-lit, are addressed in more expensive models such as the JY0040-59L. Subjectively, this is probably more of an issue with those of us with "over 40 eyes" anyway. Yes, the instruction manual could be a little easier to read but after the initial setup, how often are you going to use it anyway?
For the features one purchases a watch of this caliber... style, quality, comfort, reliability, functionality and accuracy (both my eco-drives are better than +/- 5 sec/month!), I don't see how you can go wrong with this watch, ESPECIALLY for the price (I paid $220 for mine). On top of this you get a watch that is as beautiful as it is functional along with the confidence and assurance knowing it's a Citizen! If you're sitting on the fence whether or not to get this watch... buy it, you won't be sorry!
My second (of three) Citizen watches Jul 22, 2008
I love my Skyhawk. It's almost the perfect watch.
I bought my first Skyhawk in Tokyo, at the legendary Akihabara. It was a titanium model, and it quickly became my only watch. (OK, we'll ignore my ultra-thin Calvin Klein "airport special", designed to go through metal detectors without setting them off.) I wore it for 6 years, and then I had the misfortune to damage the bracelet. I inquired, and found that I'd have to send it back to Japan for repair, at a ludicrous price. Instead I decided to buy a replacement; this time I opted for this stainless steel version from Amazon.
Why "almost perfect"? Well, as other reviewers have noted, the Skyhawk can only handle whole-hour time zones, and I need to travel to India on business quite often. This is frustrating. On my last trip, a few months ago, I stopped at the watch store in the new Hyderabad airport. I figured that the best place to find a Citizen watch that worked in India would be in India. And I was right - I was able to buy a Navihawk. It doesn't have Eco-Drive, but apart from that it's functionally equivalent to the Skyhawk - plus Indian time zone support! I paid a considerable price for it, but I don't mind: the Navihawk seems to have disappeared from the Amazon Citizen store.
So now I have two Citizen "hawks": a Navihawk, and a Skyhawk. The Navihawk is slightly lighter; the Skyhawk slightly more comfortable. When I'm at home, I pick one at random each morning. But next week, when I head off to Chennai on business, I'll be wearing the Navihawk. Life is good.

 Horribly complicated to set Apr 15, 2008
This watch is beautiful. I have a PhD (big deal), so I thought I could set it. Wrong! All I really need is to know what time it is in my zone, not what time it is in Zanzibar. I could not even get it set for that! The instruction book was not helpful; as most instuction books are it was badly written. It did not define unfamiliar terms. I ended up sending it back, so I still don't know what time it is. Maybe I never will.
