   As a science & tech minded guy, when I saw this watch I felt the stirrings of technolust that I haven't seen for some time! I had certain requirements for a new watch. I wanted something functional outdoors for biking and at the gym during workouts. I wanted something that displayed multiple time zones easily since I regularly work with people in Europe and Asia and I can never remember how many hours away they are. Easy or automatic adjustment to time zones when I fly somewhere was important. And of course I wanted something that looks great! I have been extremely pleased with my Citizen EcoDrive. The solar power, radio-controlled updates, multiple time zone display (analog, digital, plus UTC), chronometer, and countdown timer make this watch perfect for me. I really like the soft rubber band as it makes the watch feel totally at home in the gym or on my bike. While I must admit I haven't used it all that often, the slide rule bezel is a lot of fun has been useful for a quick calculation every now and then. ($/gal divided by miles/gal most recently!)

   I bought the new Citizen Skyhawk A-T while having my old Navihawk repaired for the second time (the function button keeps breaking on the Navihawk; despite that, I love the Navihawk and it's been my favorite watch for 10 years since I bought it). The Skyhawk A-T is even better than my beloved Navihawk in many ways (has back light function; has a second hand; ecodrive; the function button that kept breaking on the Navihawk has been changed to a pull-out crown; atomic-time set every night, which works flawlessly in the DC area). The ONLY thing NOT better about this new model is that it's significantly larger and bulkier. Other than that, it's fantastic and I have only positive things to say about it.

   I actually have the stainless steel band version JY0000-53E pros - looks good, accurate time, true dual time all the time, big but does not feel that heavy (I was wearing a seiko titanium before this) cons - can not see the date or the day at a quick glance. this is the deal breaker for me. Had I realised this earlier I would not have purchased this watch, the things it can do maybe great, but the day /date feaure is needed for daily functionality.
