Strengths: Lightweight Titanium, good features, double locking clasp with push button release great feature.
Weaknesses: The third springpin slot can not be used due to the fact the second link is slightly larger and will not fit into the clasp. This is a design flaw I believe. The links are very hard to remove.
Summary: I have enjoyed this watch so far even with the flaw in the bracelet. Its easy to set and the features are easy to use. the lumibrite hands and hour markers and visible in most dark rooms. The world time options are great also. I added my city RIC and it displays it along with all of the other cities. The watch is set by the time zone displayed which make it really convienient when traveling. Great watch would recommed it.

Strengths: Lightweight, Extremely functional, Eco-Drive technology, Stylish, Great for travel. Great value.
Weaknesses: Plan to spend about an hour with the instruction guide to understand and use all of the functions. Alarm could be louder.
Summary: Fantastic watch!!! Looks great and is extremely functional. Great for travel as you can have the local time on analog dial, home time zone (or any other) in the digital register and Greenwich mean time (UTC) is continuously displayed in the right upper small analog dial. I went on trip to Tokyo the first week I had the watch-Really happy with my purchase. I spent at least an hour on the flight to Tokyo reading the owners manual to understand all the functions.
Other functions: 3 alarms may be set, each to a different time zone if desired. Chronograph and count down timer are easy to use (after I read the operations manual.) You may also set any 3 character code for a time zone instead of the preloaded ones. For central time I added DFW to use instead of the usual CHI. You can also select as many or few time zones to rotate through the digital display as you desire.
Pushing two side buttons simulaneously swaps the analog with the digital time you have selected on the digital display-The hour hand then swings around to the new time zone selected-a wow factor when showing the watch to friends.
Would purchase again without hesitation. Heck I might just buy one or two more as gifts for my dad and brother!!!

Strengths: rugged, easy time adjustment for travelers
Weaknesses: bezel
Summary: I love this watch. The viewing angle isn't the greatest but it is easy to read after you get used to it. I have trouble taking care of my stuff sometimes, and this watch is very rugged- the band is stronger than anything I've ever seen. It is a great value. The time zone readjustmet is great for people who travel a lot- select the city and hit the button. My only complaint is the bezel. It does not have a nice action, not only does it not ratchet like other brands but it frequently jams. I am an engineer and occationally make use of it for rough calculations, but since most people won't use it, it's not really an issue.

Strengths: Titanium is lightweight, lots of cool functions, nice looking, no battery
Weaknesses: digital readout can be difficult to read, no light, calculator is impossible to read
Summary: I purchased my eco-drive (Skyhawk) to replace my crappy Luminox digital/analog watch. What a difference! The eco-drive's face is pleasing to look at; all the dials line up precisely. The multitude of features are really the impressive part about this watch. Multiple time zones, the ability to change from digital time to analog time with ease, chronometer, three alarms, and finally the precision of this watch are all selling points. I would recommend upgrading to the titanium from stainless steel; much lighter and durable and in the end worth the money. My advice to Citizen- better visibility of digital readouts (more contrast between background and numbers) and a light for night-time viewing. Also design could be jazzed-up a bit (compare to Festina face design). All and all I rate this watch an A-. Very much worth the money.

Strengths: Looks, accuracy, information available on face, ironic mix of digital and analog (great conversation), fun (as watches go)
Weaknesses:
Wrist movements press stem, changes functions, including cities making the displayed date "the next day". LEDs sometimes hard to read. Alarm of no value with "male-pattern" hearing l
Summary: Checking against a radio-controlled clock, Skyhawk stays exact for months (I've adjusted the time once). It's digital with faux analog face. But its calculator is pure analog--a circular slide rule (hard to adjust and read)! Where other watches add (digitally), Skyhawk multiplies (analogically)--museum of digital and analog technologies. With so many functions designed into multi-function stems and buttons, I took substantial part of London flight to get the hands reset. This electronic version permits adding cities for times (my earlier mechanical version does not). I wish it vibrated for the alarm.

Strengths: Solid watch. Time Zone setting good for travelers.
Weaknesses: Using at night (no light).
Summary: I had been looking for a new watch for years. I liked the idea of the solar powered watch as I hate to replace watch batteries. I'm partial to the 3-dial chronograph design, although these are features that are not particularly useful. Timer, Chrono, 3-alarm, date setting are all quite useful. This is a big heavy watch, those that like the new slimmer styles will be disappointed.
