Customer Review: Beautiful watch... One (possibly) major flaw...
I compared this Blue Angels version with the Black/Orange version of this Skyhawk model and liked the blue/yellow tones much better. So I bought it. However, Citizen decided to make a change in one of the more important controls between the two variations, the Crown. On the other version, the crown is knurled. Therefore, it's easier to get a grip on it to pull it out as needed. You need to pull the crown out one stop to change to any of the other modes. If you spend good money for something with all these features, you will figure on using them. The crown on the Blue Angels version, albeit nice and sleek, is smooth around it's circumference. When it's on your wrist, you either need a very long (and curved) fingernail to pull the crown from underneath, or you need to remove it from your wrist first. The only point where you can "catch" the crown to pull it is underneath and at the base of the crown. The top side of the case covers the bevel at the base of the crown. Sure, you can leave extra links in the band and "maybe" be able to get underneath the crown to use it while wearing it, but the watch will be spinning all around your wrists during the day. Now, I don't know if frail fingers would do better operating this. Just roughly gauging the human physique, and proportions of the extremities, only someone with large enough arms/wrists would even feel comfortable wearing a watch this size and weight for any period of time. Therefore, I would expect those who can wear it to have larger diameter fingers compared to the rest of the populace. Those larger fingers just cannot get under the crown very easily to activate it. I like the watch's features, but I'm afraid I might have to return it. I will be using the alarms and chronograph quite frequently and having to remove the watch each time I want to do something with it simply will not do. Especially for the price it sells for. I might like the black/orange version if I give it a chance. That has the knurled knob. Or, I might just trade it in for a Citizen Promaster SST instead.

Citizen Men's Eco-Drive Sport Watch #BM8434-58A
Two-tone stainless steel brings a modern touch of class to the classic lines of the Citizen Men's Eco-Drive Sport Watch #BM8434-58A. It spots a crisp white dial with polished, gold-tone markers and hands to match the bezel and two-tone bracelet. A day and date calendar sits at three o'clock, and subtle black indices help keep you up-to-the-second. A fold-over clasp keeps the watch secure. As an Eco-Drive, this sports watch is powered by light--both natural and artificial--offering continuous functionality without a battery. It is water resistant to 333 feet and is backed by a five-year limited manufacturer's warranty.
Customer Review: Nice analog solution
I looked for several weeks to replace my Pulsar because of the difficulty in setting the date - very clunky. It also did not have luminous hands or numbers, which the Eco-Drive Sport offers. The day/date are fairly easy to read and I like the look of the rectangular hands.

Citizen Men's Eco-Drive Stiletto Two-Tone Bracelet Watch #AR1054-52E
Eco-Drive powered by light, black dial, sapphire crystal, two-tone, stainless steel, water resistant, 36mm x 4mm.
Customer Review: Very Thin Watch
The watch doesn't have date & second hand but it's very thin (~4.5mm), light and elegant. It's a great daytime watch since I can't read time well in dark places. The band is brushed stainless steel with polished gold plated accent. NOTE: To resize the band, you need 1mm screw driver.
Customer Review: Distinctive and elegant.
Beautiful watch, sits on my wrist VERY NICELY, the band is SO COMFORTABLE and the double clasp is the best I've ever had. After I received the watch, it was disappointing after all my research and comparison shopping that this watch did not have a second hand and I can't read a thing in the dark. Disappointing for the cost.
