Reach a higher altitude in style and performance with the new Promaster Skyhawk U830. This action-ready chronograph features a black- and silver-tone stainless steel case and a captivating analog-digital dial, with its bold 43mm shape secured to the wrist via a sharply finished triple-link bracelet. A rotating slide-rule bezel alongside a modern set of pushers and a matching crown round out the sporty styling of the case. \r\n\r\nUnderneath a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, the watch's azure display is on view, with white and black accents working in tandem with analog and digital components for the watch's unique aesthetic and technical capabilities. Other advanced functions of the timepiece include a perpetual calendar, alarm, 1/100 second chronograph measuring up to 24 hours, and a 99-minute countdown timer. Water resistant up to 200 meters. Caliber U830.

“Have always loved the ani-digi concept. This watch is handsome, clean looking, and has some great function. Will keep, but it could be better. Unfortunately, Citizen crammed too many details on too little real estate. Should have a touch bigger face. Think that probably 25-50% of the target audience for aviation watches might have waning near sight vision. Extremely hard to read the inner dials. The bezel is novel, but impractical without my readers and I have 20/10 far vision, just up close is too small. The nigh light only covers the digi, but it's not that great of a night light - it doesn't have even lighting across the digi window. The glow on the hands just doesn't last that long - I keep having to recharge it with a flashlight. The watch manual is pretty bad. The buttons look like stop watch buttons, which, while easy to use, look a bit low class. Would love to see those things improved, and would LOVE to see a Titanium version.”

“I've admired this watch for a long time. The complications on the Promaster line are really impressive and frankly very cool. However I'm an older man and my eyes aren't what they used to be and the smallest dials on my new watch are impossible to see without a great deal of effort on my part. I place all of the blame for my disappointment in buying this watch on the advertising methods to create cool looking website catalog photos and unfortunately Citizen. Don't get me wrong, I've loved every Citizen watch I have owned and currently own and I've given them as gifts to family. This one though, really disappoints..”

“I have tried several times, alarm will appear set but will not sound. Other than that everything is satisfactory.”

“This thing is amazing. Only thing I can say bad about it is trying to remove the links is a nightmare. But I wouldn't use that as a negative side of it. They offer band adjustments free when you purchase it.”

“It is everything I want in a watch. I hate the fact they dropped the price the day after I ordered it. Could have given me the new price”

“Love the single large LCD window, a definite improvement and the "clean", styling. However the lack of either atomic clock or satellite timing and no titanium case and band makes it a non-starter for me. It will never replace either of my Skyhawk AT's (even with their tiny, hard to read LCD's). Hopefully, automatically synched timing and Ti cases are in future plans, along with more reasonable pricing.”

“No Automic timekeeping, no super titanium and yet costlier than the ones which have those features.”
