Sporting a hardened, special ops look, the Citizen Black Eagle Skyhawk stainless steel men’s flight watch offers advanced timing functions and the latest technology. It’s powered by Citizen’s unique Eco-Drive, which absorbs sunlight and any artificial light through the crystal and dial to recharge the watch continuously. The fast-forward timekeeping features include time and calendar in twenty-two time zones, thirty cities, three world time alarms, a 99-minute countdown timer, one-touch interchangeable analog/digital time, and 1/100-second chronograph that measures up to 24 hours.

The large round black ion-plated stainless steel case measures 44mm (1.73 inches) wide and 14mm (0.55 inches) deep, and it’s topped by a bi-directional rotating slide rule. The black dial background features large white hands with luminous tips as well as luminous square dial markers. It’s completed by a black-plated stainless steel bracelet band. Other features include water resistance to 330 feet (100 meters) and a scratch-resistant, non-reflective mineral crystal.

This watch is a great purchase for someone looking for that dress/casual watch or just a men’s watch for all occasions. Good, sturdy construction. Water resistant, although I haven’t tested the limits of the watch on this. The watch does scratch a little from wear and tear (light scratches) under the wrist if you aren’t careful. Overall, a great value for a quality watch. I love it.

I have had this watch for a few weeks now so I can not address wear and tear. To start, the picture does not do it justice. The titanium is a nice mix of brushed and polished, which does not stand out in the pic. The black face is very pretty, not a dull/flat black or a shiny black – it is hard to explain except that I am very happy with it. Also, from the picture I was concerned that the numbers 6, 9 and 12 were too large, but in person they look proper and in-scale with the rest of the face. The watch diameter is also in good ratio to my arm/wrist and I am average height and weight.
The band wear and tear seems similar to a stainless steel band. The mechanism is almost silent and the time keeping seems very accurate. I have not had any bumps to the watch face so I can’t say how hard it is to scratch the crystal, but I assume this is a lower end crystal since it is “mineral” and not sapphire.
I would recommend this watch to any man. It is sexy and is a good price for a Citizen Eco-drive.

I am slowly converting my watch collection from a mix of self-winding automatic and a few quartz to all Citizen Eco-Drives. This is the latest addition and I am delighted with it. The watch is a “beater”…it will be perfect for weekends, travel and whenever you want a watch that can take anything. The stainless steel case and bezel have a satin finish and the screw-down crown is knurled. The dial is an oil black, not a flat black as you might expect in a “military” watch. The large numbers and markers have a ton of luminous material and glow like beacons in a dark environment — perfect for night viewing. The second hand is precisely registered with the second markings on the chapter ring. The crystal is a flat, hardened mineral crystal with an anti-reflective coating (presumably on the interior of the crystal) so there is very little reflection. This is a large 42mm diameter watch — not including the crown {which is guarded with shoulders]. It is not clear if the woven, fabric band is nylon or some other material; it is well made and the holes for the clasp are reinforced with stainless steel rivets. I really like this watch and … at a mere $105 … this is a great buy.

I upgraded to the eco-drive from a watch that recharged by wrist motion. So far I’m a lot happier with the eco-drive. It holds a charge a lot longer, so it’s not a problem to leave it unworn for a day or two. I didn’t like the green military style band on this one, but it was easy to swap for a leather 20mm band. The stock band was a tad small for my wrist. I would expect a lot of men would need to swap it. The numbers look big in the picture, and they’re big on the watch. I like the big numbers, others might not.

This is a beautiful watch for a great value. Gorgeous bracelet, and deep blue faceplate. Crystal is nice and flat, reducing glare.
Feedback from chrono buttons nice and solid.

Minor qualms;
Topring does not rotate.
Chronograph only measures down to seconds – not 1/10 or 1/20 sec.

Bottom line – makes a great everyday sport watch, and looks great with any dress-type. Value is unbeatable.

I ordered this watch from Amazon and it arrived before the estimated date of delivery. I love the clock, and it looks better in person than in pictures on the web. Very good quality and hand lines up perfectly luminova be used regularly for a long time virtually all the way through the night that I do not think that would be the case. Unique feature is the band I do not like the canvas, which I found uncomfortable, I am sure would be nice for everyone else but black leather bar (…)( less than any jewelry store or shop online), compliments online. very well and does not seem to watch last week ‘one small point about the drive Eco – that some of the others I’ve read overlooked: people drive Eco – DO with a battery cell energy Solar Battery Charger mangenese stored in the battery should last longer titanium as many people to the project engineers that even after 20 years of battery should keep 80% of capacity refill. (On their website), but only time will tell … Pun not intended to say at the time looked pretty accurate. I’ve sat for a month and during that time had lost less than one second compared to the time of the United States national (Www.nist.gov) In sum: this is a very good value for money I felt.
