This is the long awaited titanium version of the Citizen Skyhawk radio controlled watch.  This mens designer watch keeps almost perfect time as it synchronises itself with GMT radio waves.

The build quality of the watch is excellent.  It may seem like a small point but the second hand always points precisely at each second mark on the dial as it rotates.  This gives you a measure of the attention to detail from the manufacturers.

The watch is maintenance free as it is powered by an Eco Drive (effectively a solar panel on the face of the watch) so simple everyday wear will keep it charged.  This, coupled with the automatic radio reception time hack means that the watch requires no effort from you.

In terms of visibility you will find that the light is bright and the watch hands are also luminous and easy to read in low light.  With all the additional features you may be forgiven for thinking that the Skyhawk will be difficult to fathom but thanks to the CD Rom that comes with it, you will be up and running in no time.

Despite the watch’s size, it is extremely light due to the titanium casing and strap.  The styling is very bold and purposeful, however the use of orange in the writing may not be to everyone’s taste.  If this is the case then there is a Japanese version of the watch in black and white. But on the whole overall the quality, styling and functionality of the Citizen Skyhawk AT titanium watch is difficult to match.
