Comments on: Citizen Skyhawk AT JY0000-02E http://japwatches.wordpress.com/2007/10/05/citizen-skyhawk-at-jy0000-02e/ Got time on your hands?

What appears at first sight to be a very complicated watch becomes quite logical & simple after a short while of reading the manual. Don't use the small book that comes with the watch but download the manual from www.citizenwatch.com in A4 format, it's a lot easier to read! I'm in the North East of the UK & signal reception is no problem, the watch registers a 'high' signal level. The finish of this watch is superb in every detail.The watch has every feature you could possibly want & a few you will probably never use. If you are considering buying one of the these watches, do it, you will not be disappointed. I have only owned my Citizen Skyhawk JY0000-02E for a short while but I’m very impressed.

So I replaces it with rubber stram from my Maverick Swiss Army watch, the watch is great but the original rubber strap will break in a year to year and a half of extensive wearing.

I really love the watch and all the features. I highly recommend switching to either the Ti or Stainless Steel bracelet. The rubber band total junk and deteriorates much too rapidly. The band has completely broken through and has stress fractures at every point where the metal pins extend through the band. I'm not what if any purpose the metal pins serve but, it definitely creates weak points in the rubber. Does anyone know if warranty covers the band or where you can buy the SS band at a reasonable price. I can't find it anywhere for less than $120. I purchased the JY0000-02E about 8 months ago.

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).

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! Hi Everyone.

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.
