Citizen Watch Review

The Citizen Skyhawk A-T
Aviation enthusiasts and most pilots are gadget crazy! From new fangled digital avionics in the cockpit to advanced aviation watches currently available we can't wait. When the new Citizen Skyhawk A-T was announced last year, interest was high. With over 15 years of history and refinement, the combination of Citizen's Eco-Drive movement with atomic timekeeping technology (as denoted by the A-T moniker in the name), and a new design,this watch is a great flight companion and is definitely a conversation piece on the ground.
Features
The Citizen Skyhawk A-T is the third generation in the Skyhawk line, and represents a major step forward in features. While you do lose one alarm (from three alarms to two), you gain functionality such as atomic timekeeping, perpetual calendar, LCD backlight, and world time pre-programming for 43 cities and time-zones. Additionally, the watch is now rated to be water resistant up to 200 meters (about 650 feet), versus the 100 meters of the previous generation.

Citizen Attesa GMT
One of the coolest watch complications is the GMT hand which has a fourth independent settable hand marking 24 hour time. This is useful for travelers, businesspeople and pilots that need to switch easily thru different time zones.It also has the added functionality of keep track of 2 time zones simultaneously. This watch was introduced in the 1950's with Rolex for pilots flying transatlantic flights.There are several new Citizen GMT models in the Attesa line of watches
that sport the unique clean tough look.

Some features include:

* 39mm in diameter, 10.9mm thick, and 47g heavy.
* 24-hour indices on the chapter ring.
* Diamond Like Carbon coated titanium case
* Eco-drive (solar-powered quartz).
* 100m water resistant (about 330 feet).
* Atomic Radio-set (but only receives the Japanese time signal — bummer).
* ±15 seconds per month (with no radio reception).
* Sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating.
* Calf skin band.

The Citizen Attesa ATD53-2903 has clean and readable face since that is not incomprehensible after the jet lag of a long international flight. With its clutter-free face and clean, distinct hands it makes for a great travel companion.

Citizen BM6400

For simplicity in a watch that is not cluttered or to expensive, the Citizen BM6400 is a beautiful watch and is available with either the bracelet or canvas strap.
The list of features is as simple as the face of the watch itself:

* Time.
* Date.
* Non-reflective mineral crystal.
* Eco-drive solar powered.
* 200m water resistant (about 650 feet).
* All stainless steel.
