Product Code: JY0110-55E Citizen Radio Controlled Red Arrows Titanium Skyhawk Yes, it is a UK variant. But the red dial is kind of cool. |

I've got the regular black/orange/stainless Citizen Skyhawk A-T and I love it. But that one...ehhh...not so much. ETA: This one. I even use the whiz-wheel regularly. http://c03.coacdn.com/watches/JY0000-53E_fullsize.png I thought about buying one of those until my buddy loaned me is for a couple of days. At my age (57) I don't need glasses for far vision, but I do for close up. I can't make out anything on the face of that watch without reading glasses which I never seem to have on me. I like the watch, but I passed on it for one with "bigger numbers"... |

Ugly as crap. And like 99% of these styled watches - you will never use all that crap on the face - and will never remember how. I admit to asking Breitling watch owners about their watch - and then asking them to show me how to use all of the navigation crap on the face. |

As a pilot, I would use most of the features of that watch. I find it not that ugly. I would buy a Breitling if I could afford it. I would buy that Citizen watch if I could only see the numbers without wearing thick reading glasses.... But - to each their own....

| Its a little to busy for my taste, but I have 2 citizen Eco-Drives that my wife gave to me as gifts. The 1st is over 12 years old and runs like a champ. The other is about 4 years old and runs perfect. Never changed a battery or done anything to either, they just keep running. |

If I wanted a pilot watch, I would go with something like this http://www.esquire.com/cm/esquire/images/laco-pilots-watch.jpg ^This. If i wanted something bigger I would get the Stauer 1933 Graves. If I had a cell phone I wouldn't wear a watch. ETA: I voted pie, cuz ya know...I likes me sum pie.
