Citizen Skyhawk AT JY0000-02E
Posted by wristwatch on October 5, 2007
I guess it just about time that the JY0000-02E got posted in this site, since its brother the JY0000-53E is just about the most popular page of all time here. The JY0000-02E is exactly the same as the JY0000-53E, except for the rubber strap. The rubber strap gives it a more of a sporty look, and is actually better for the divers out there. One thing I hate about those metal bracelets are that tiny specs of dust get trap in between those links that are almost impossible to clean. Truly the world watch, with worldwide radio synchronization and an unlimited power source, makes this a maintenance free watch.

I purchased the Skyhawk in the islands (St. Marteen) and did not have time to adjust the rubber strap…any suggestions please? By the way I like the piece a lot…
Tom said
To E.N. Escobar,
I am on St. Maarten myself right now and also looking to by the Skyhawk A-T. If you don’t mind me asking would you please tell me how much you paid for it? They are pretty big on negotiating on prices here and of course I am trying to get a good deal.
Thanks
Tom

The info at http://www.seiyajapan.com applies only to the Attesa ATV53-283x and Promaster PMV65-224x. Is there any engraving which is equivalent to RFN on US Skyhawk AT which means that it is not affected?

DL,
For your answer, go to http://www.citizenwatch.com/COA/English/faqs.asp
then enter “U600″ in the Search FAQs box and read the answer to the FAQ titled
“I have heard of a software update for the U600 Skhyawk AT. Is this true?”.

The Skyhawk JY0010-50E I bought three days ago is nothing but the JY0000-02E with a Ti bracelet (same U600 caliber). It is a beautiful time keeping piece and it hardly left my wrist since. Those who have their eyes and minds set on this outstanding watch but are not visiting St. Maarten any time soon should visit http://www.jomashop.com/citizen-skyhawk-mens-watch-jy0010-50e.html. The current $453 selling price (tax added only in NY state) will make it worth their while. The watch I received has a manufacturer’s warranty and its serial number was not among those mentioned at http://www.citizenwatch.com/COA/English/faqs.asp (see D2 comment Nr.10 above) as requiring a software correction/update. IMPORTANT (THE MANUAL DOESN”T MENTION THIS): Special attention should be paid when re-sizing the Ti bracelet so as not to loose the tiny cylinders that serve as inserts for the bracelet segment holes. Once the pin is pushed through the holes to secure the segments together, these cilinders expand inside the only hole per segment accepting it, thus ensuring a tight fit. Loosing them upon disassembly is almost a sure thing if you don’t know this system. I did. Citizen Customer Service though was just a phone call away with their prompt, professional help with a friendly touch & shipped me two complete segments Free of Charge.

Hi Everyone.
If you are reading this then you are already a fan of the Skyhawk A-T. I bought my first one (JY0000-53E)on EBAY about 6 weeks ago and have loved it. I saw a JY0000-02E on EBAY yesterday and bought it too. It will arrive in a few days. They are fabulous watches. The first one I bought had already had the U600 firmware update. I’m hoping that Citizen here in Canada will take pity on me and do the upgrade on this watch under warranty. All in all, a fabulous, useful, great looking, well priced watch!

Hello,
I would like to know where I could buy a Skyhawk JY0000-02E with the rubber band.
I live in the Philippines and the store here only has the Skyhawk Blue Angels. I have tried Singapore & Malaysia but nobody seemed to have it either.
If you could also tell me the price that would be great!
Thanks for the feedback anyone.
Regards,
Eric

Hello,
I am French, I live in Paris. I bought my CITIZEN on a website in US because it’s very difficult to find the models Skyhawk JY0000-53E or JY0000-02E (same model but with different brands). My model is the JY0000-02E with the rubber band.
I searched a band in leather in France, impossible to find it (22mm and curved). Finaly, I bought on this website:
http://www.watchband.biz/
this model (leonardo, Medci):
http://www.watchband.biz/pd878992944.htm?defaultVariants=search0_EQ_Black_AND_search1_EQ_18%20mm_AND_search2_EQ_L-Long_AND_search3_EQ_Steel_AND_{EOL}&categoryId=10
Here is the result after changing:

I am very happy about this band.
