Best pilot watch for the money!
This watch exceeded my expectations even after reading the comments. As an aviator this watch will ensure you don't miss the time hack, and is visible night and day. Last week, I took a picture and noticed after the flight the seconds displayed in the aircrafts GPS time was matched exactly with the second hand of the watch....wow. Anyone who needs accurate timing and practical uses while looking sharp Should consider this piece. As an aside I know many folks don't care for the band, but I actually prefer it. It's awesome! I can't stop looking at this time piece! If I ever need a replacement it will be the same model!Update 7 Years Later:I've flown all over the world, in all types of aircraft with this watch and it keeps perfect time to the second still with the atomic clock radio update. I was able to update in parts of Africa (not always), The Middle East/Aisa, and in Hong Kong, and across Europe.It's survived quite a bit, hard duty flying on and off ships at sea, (the Radar has fried multiple other Casios for reference which is why I bought this because of the certified ANTIMAG 4800 spec, it didn't fall short of that spec or it would have been fried like my previous Casios) It survived a road bike, and hard landing/Crash (from an engine failure prior to landing)The crystal has been scratched and I took it to a jeweler to be cleaned and get a citizen original band for the same model I even tried ordering direct from Citizen but was unsuccessful. I've gone through 2 other Barton bands which have a good look. The glass we couldn't get the deeper scratches out, it's not a hardened sapphire but if that is my only complain than I'm doing pretty good. It still doesn't look too bad though, picture on the wrist attached.Even today I looked at the GPS system time in the aircraft and the watch was perfectly in sync to the second.Due to the nostalgia I have from traveling with this watch I think I might elect to retire it, but for the cost I doubt I can do much better. I suspect for good luck on next check rides etc. I will break this watch out and be the same old friend by my side as it has for the years since purchase. I know that it will continue to be as reliable as the air beneath my wings.I HIGHLY encourage if you are thinking about the watch to buy it. It IS a beauty, while being a silent steward that never gives up and is precise while enduring the unreal adventure that you might be thinking of starting next.

Great Looking Timepiece / Careful with the Band
Great looking watch. Obviously very accurate since it reads the time from the WWVB radio station (Atomic Clock) in the US. Love the UTC time on the small upper dial, and quick change of time-zones, etc. Not too difficult to learn to use. Just read the online manual, and/or watch the video. If you are a pilot you'll appreciate the circular slide rule which is turned using the lower-left knob. I haven't flown with it yet, but imagine using it in flight would be my last resort. Love that you never need to charge the watch (unless you are Count Dracula).Not crazy about the rubber wrist band. You will need to cut it to size, and it is an involved process, so take your time. (Search YouTube for a video) or if you don't trust yourself, take it to a watch shop. If you cut too close to the 'tunnel', and don't leave sufficient rubber your risk the band tearing out and the watch falling off. Replacement bands are about $100. The anodized coating on the band snap is wearing off on the edge after just 1 week.Also, the night-lighting only illuminates the digital section which may be displaying a number of things depending on your current settings.Overall, very happy with the purchase. Looks and works as good as a watch that easily costs 10-20x as much.

Excellent watch with few flaws
I really like this watch. I really do. It has tons of functions and it looks amazing as well.I am a chef so I use timer and alarm the most. One of my favorite feature about this watch is that unlike many other digital watch (I. E. Lower end Casio) you do not push buttons set timer or alarm. You rotate the watch stem either clock or counter clock wise to set it. Not only it is faster to change but also it allows you to go back instead of pushing down button all the way around if you made a mistake while setting it.However, I still have some other issues with digital display.First it is very hard to read in low light condition. I understand that negative display looks better than positive display but at the same time it is so much harder to read it in a less than ideal lighting environment.Second, whenever analog hands cover over digital display it becomes much harder to use other features because you can't see it. I know that this is a common problem with many Ana-dig watches. But I already saw some solutions to this problems in other watches. For example some Casio watches automatically move hands away from their display whenever you are using chronograph function. I can't imagine it would be that hard to implement it but then I am not a watch designer.Third, you can't use back lighting while using timer or chronograph. The watch doesn't have dedicated backlight button. You can light the display by pressing upper right button but that button is also used for stopping timer or chronograph.Even though I am little disappointed about its functions I still really like the watch. Frankly, if you don't care about those little functions and just want cool looking pilot watch that is accurate, then I would highly recommend this watch. And yes you do have to cut the rubber bands before you can wear it but it is really easy to do( just be careful not to cut it too much at once. There is no going back)I give four stars out of five since this is an overall excellent watch despite few flaws. I suspect those flaws that I have mentioned in the review won't bother majority of the people who would buy it anyway.

An absolute beast and head turner!
This is an absolutely gorgeous watch. The best I have ever owned! In times where smartwatches rule the trend, a traditional watch like this still holds the charm, and in some style. This gizmo is so versatile, it goes well on formal wear and casual/sport wear with equal ease.About the features, it’s loaded. I just wish it had a compass. It would be a perfect watch, but then again it almost is! Timekeeping is super accurate down to the second, thanks to its atomic syncing. I can’t say enough good things about the watch. It’s priced reasonably, so it’s great vfm! If you can, don’t think for a second, just buy it!P.S: I have a skinny wrist, but still holds up pretty well!

Orologio veramente ottimo
Ottimo orologio con la classica e proverbiale qualità Citizen. Purtroppo in Italia non viene commercializzato ed ho tentennanto un anno prima di acquistarlo ma, col senno di poi, vista l'ottima assistenza del venditore e la qualità della ditta di spedizione FedEx, non avrei esitato così tanto.Unico piccolo avviso deriva dal fatto che nelle istruzioni non è presente l'italiano ma basta cercare sul sito Citizen per trovare anche la nostra lingua.

Sehr schöne Uhr
Die Uhr sieht sehr stylisch aus und ist leicht zu bedienen.Der Funkempfang ist verglichen mit Casio Uhren nicht der beste.
