Citizen Skyhawk Instructional Tutorial Part 1

[@dominickdimattinajr]

Brother I don’t know how to say thank you. You’ve explained the watch perfectly thank you very much

[@falconwings3864]

This citizen Skyhawk came to me as 2022 Christmas gift from my wife & also for my first airline job as a pilot. This video was indeed needed for me. Thank you so much for making this tutorial. Awesome.

[@TheRocketman360]

It's a great gift!! And congrats on the new job! Welcome to the industry my friend!!

[@falconwings3864]

@@TheRocketman360 thank you

[@Fmoon303]

Do this watch has options to find if is lost or stolen?

[@lmaoroflcopter]

Man alive that's a much nicer and easier set of instructions than citizens own instruction manual.

[@TheChaz81]

YOU SIR ARE IN FACT AN EXPERT! I dont care what Citizen says! Lol... I used to work on the F/A-18 Hornet in the Marines and my wife just bought me this watch. This video totally saved my day. The dude at the Jewelry store wanted to cry when I asked me how it works. Thanks man!

[@woodyforest2100]

I think Citizen watches are a great value. I’ve had one my wife gave me about 45 years ago that still looks and works great. I’ve got my eye on this model so thank you for helping me decide. This was a very helpful guide. Good work!

[@AbdullaAbdulla-xd5ou]

I have struggled to get my watch to function correctly for the last couple of years until today. I ran across this video and WoW!! The tutorials PART 1 and PART 2 are easier to follow than the Citizen instruction manual or talking to a live tech at Citizen. Thank you for taking the time to put this video together. You Rock TheRocketman360!!

[@bobboydlawncare9746]

The absolute best tutorial on these watches that I have ever seen! So extremely helpful. Thank you so much 😊

[@jonhamilton8247]

With out a doubt the very best instruction and description I have ever seen on this crazy complicated watch.

[@malsmith2012]

Highly recommend downloading the manual online as you'll need it often setting summer time etc.. Definitely does your head in trying to work it out without it..

[@tbaum101]

Just wanted to tell you that even though you claim not to be an expert,...You Sir, have the best tutorial of anyone on KZbin on this dagum watch. An older man bought it at my store and I had to figure it out for him. Thank you so much. I was inventing cuss words trying to figure this thing out. I’m never ordering it again!!! LOL

[@gareth4903]

🤣

[@insider4life1]

Lol nice

[@blckjedi]

Great tutorial!

[@treylem3]

I've been trying to figure mine out and was getting aggravated too, I'm glad to find this. Many thanks.

[@EricTheOld]

After I've had my Skyhawk for a few years, the instructions became lost so many appreciate your videos. Thanks, I've subscribed

[@MarkDD]

Wow! I have had this amazingly accurate watch for almost 3 years, and I now know how to change time zones, set alarms, and use the chronograph and timer. Many thanks, sir!!!

[@buddhagunz]

I don’t know you stopped making videos but this is truly the best tutorial on the internet on this watch. I literally watch this three or four times a year to refresh my memory on how to use this ridiculously complicated but beautiful watch.

[@vhalpaz9548]

I have the same watch, different band. This watch will do more things then I'll ever use it for. Your video is straight and to the point, very simple. My date was somehow 5 months off, fixed it in 30 seconds after watching your video. Thank you sir.

[@joeloco5129]

Get this man a job at Citizen! 10x better than the generic manual, and for the 1st time, I can display date/weekday when required. You, sir, are a hero.

[@michaelbonocore1827]

WOW THANK YOU SO MUCH. This is a great instructional video. You spoke clearly, explained each step, and demonstrated all the features of the watch. I bought this watch and was intimidated by it. Just a great job. Thanks again

[@banjomechanic]

I was gifted one of these, and could not make heads or tails of setting it. Thank you sir for the tutorial getting it set. It is a wonderful watch, and even more so when I can at it! Blessings to you and yours!

[@thomascassidy6163]

Thank you so much, the tutorial helped me to set the time on my Citizen Navihawk Eco Rose Gold watch which I bought in 2022 using the radio controlled function but you need to be patient as it may take time for the radio signal to be located whether it be in Europe, US or Asia as it may depend on the location and levels of other interfering signals near your home or premises for it to work. Excellent tutorials provided by you. Many thanks.

[@davechavwz6968]

Fantastic tutorial!!! You cover all the bases and get straight to the point!! 6 months with my watch and I was always wondering why my time was always an hour off, and when I changed the time manually, the next day it would be an hour off again lol. Now I have changed my city just as you pointed out! Thank you!!

[@Werewolfmage]

ive had this watch for 3 years and i forgot how to set the time lol. it went dead due to not using it for a while so everything was off. this video is a lifesaver! Thank you!

[@gavinlocke2301]

Great tutorial! So easy to understand thank you so much! Just bought one last week instead of trying to read the manual this was so much easier and faster.

[@holbeckghyll4997]

Thanks ! it ran out for the first time for years and I had to start it up again and this was invaluable.

[@JoeMandola]

Extremely helpful! Just received this watch as a gift and was lost with how to adjust all the settings. Your tutorial was very easy to follow!

[@surbon514]

Thanks very much for your expertise. You really are an expert, don't let anybody tell you otherwise! This video makes my watch more usable and enjoyable!

[@lostinlife647866]

I just recently purchased the Citizen Skyhawk. Great watch !!! but trying to get a signal is a real pain. With all this tech I started look around on the web and found an app on IOS called ( Radio Wave Sync ) the app is pretty good. If your looking for a reliable way to set the watch to automatically update the time check the app out. I'm not sure if its available on Android. How it works is the app is set to where you love for example here in the U.S. The atomic clock is in Fort Collins Colorado and so you set that in the app then hit start. Because all Apple phones use the atomic to set the time on the phone the app broadcasts a wave and acts like the antenna in Fort Collins in witch the watch can pick up hence setting the time. Works like a champ anytime any day. Thank for the great territorial.

[@Rangertozero]

Excellent info thanks just downloaded the app 👍🏻

[@TJ-wp4yz]

Thanks for the app reference, I've got it now.

[@spiritualdeath101]

Thanks - I have a predecessor to this - the BY0003-07E Chrono-Time. It is 10yrs old now & works fine but I like it so much I'm thinking of buying the new Promaster Skyhawk which is available in blue colour. The fun of this watch is in its complexity and your video does justice to it - the watch even knows the daylight saving time across different time zones - so you really need to know what it is doing. If you get into the 'perpetual calendar' side of things - you'll have to understand the finer points of leap years. The word 'watch' seems inadequate for this device - I'd call it a "Master Watch". Have a nice day.

[@myairspace121]

Excellent tutorial - thank you. Now a proud and informed owner of a Skyhawk :)

[@raymondsilva5440]

Thank you for the in depth no nonsense tutorial. Great job brother

Hello sir just wanted to say THANK YOU 🙏 these 2 videos should be on the citizen website as instructional videos. You helped me reset my red arrows Watch easily. It’s a complicated watch to use but you made it easy. THANK YOU again.

[@frankvucolo6249]

I just brought this watch home tonight, did my warrantee and was fighting with the poor (sorry) instructions provided by Citizen on their app. Your tutorial is very well done. Thank you!

[@andyharos983]

Absolutely the best tutorial on this watch. Thank you so much! One suggestion would be on how to turn on the background light and night illumination of hands.

[@styleemusic]

This beauty is overly beautifully engineered, I’m getting one. Thanks for the review.

[@JohnEtter-z3o]

Just purchased this watch for around $400. Elegant looking and durable.

[@michaelc6947]

Thanks for the video. I received mine today and had it set up in minutes after watching your video.

[@chuckraymond7442]

Extremely helpful and very clearly explained. Thank you.

[@17cmmittlererminenwerfer81]

The Fort Collins signal is basically useless beyond about 1000 miles away. Those on the east coast pick it up only very rarely, usually during the winter. One great trick to increase your chances of picking up the time signal is to wrap your watch around a piece of metal, like a steel bar, overnight. Works anywhere in the world where you have a chance of getting the time signal. That being said, I've found these Citizen Skyhawks to pick up the signal extremely well, probably due in part to their steel cases.

[@saultknutz1166]

or just use a radio watch sync app on your phone...

[@checksix_TC]

Very informative video. You must have spent alot of time learning the functions of this complicated time piece. I wonder how a pilot can fly a plane and struggle with the settings at the same time. Yes, I guess I will need 9 lives to set up this watch:) I live in South East Asia, where you can't recieve a radio time signal and need to set it up manually. Citizen should just incorporate its satellite wave technology into this watch and simplify the set up process.

[@todorovz]

Good Video. By the way, New Foundland in Canada has a 30 minute offset time zone.

[@orwellknew9112]

Good catch, I was going to say that too. Funny thing is that NFLD is not that far away from NYC. Most of Canada is further away from NFLD than NYC is but the border makes all the difference. Canada is kind of an alien place to many Americans. For some, it’s just a place you fly over to get to Alaska. I think he Trucker’s protest against vaccine mandates was good PR for Canada. Trudeau and his nutty WEF policies are bad PR. He’s about as popular in Canada as Biden is in the USA . Let’s go Brandon!.

[@carlweiderick]

Thanks! Great video! I just got the Blue Angels Titanium. Your tutorial made setting it simple and easy.

guy actually nailed it. i havnt found a single video that showed us what was on the face. lol

[@alfredonoyola925]

The Daylight Saving Time mode ON OFF is useful on a place where the start or finish of this horary mode starts and finishes differently from the atomic clock setting., like here that starts and finishes a couple weeks later. Excellent tutorial, thanks!!!

[@lesserclaypool]

Incredibly helpful video! I dont have this watch as of yet, but have been dreaming about it. I've read the manual quite a bit and found it overwhelming. This video really simplifies the processes. I feel like upon purchasing it would be a good idea to do a full reset and calibration of the hands(as referenced in PT. 2) before doing anything else. Really looking forward to your slide rule vid on this watch!

[@jegatheeswaranmanoharan899]

Citizens should give you a free watch for this. Thank you so much.

[@vancouverpingpong]

I bought one new recently and your video really helped me to do the setup a lot thank you!! But there is one thing that I couldn’t figure out is have the date for the home town show up anywhere. It’s so difficult having a watch without able see that date.

[@TheRocketman360]

Thank you very much! You absolutely can display the date. Simply pull the crown out one click, rotate until you get to the calendar function (CAL) then push the crown in. The date will then show in the right hand screen

[@vancouverpingpong]

@@TheRocketman360 I got it, thank you! I think I had the second time zone country set on the right window so whenever I had it on CAL, it only showed the date of the second time zone. So now I just change the time to my home time and it’s now showing the proper date. Thank you!!

[@robertbiazus339]

Very clear explanation, thank you so much.

[@sr2772]

fantastic video...no fuss...just the facts.

[@JorgeHerrera-ld3uo]

J Herrera Outstanding tutorial. Please clarify: when acquiring the signal what’s the position of the crown, outside, mid way or inside?

[@TheRocketman360]

Good question!! When acquiring a signal, you should have the crown pushed all the way in 🙂

[@robertgallagher374]

Great video! Much easier to set up my new watch with your video than using the instruction manual that came with my watch.

Dear god this was extremely helpful. I have numerous Casio Protreks that have pull out crowns for adjusting features and they are a million times more intuitive than this watch! I got the Canadian snowbirds edition and it didn't come with a manual.....amazon market place strikes again.

[@MiguelBricaBrac]

Your tutoring was very helpful. I wonder why it take so long to sync up. My GShock GW M5610 takes about 2 minutes and I sync up the time with the atomic clock

when u check if the watch was able to get time from radio, it will show you not only strength of signal ang station but also the time it was able to get the correct time I think

[@iMacEagle1]

I bought in a sale skyhawk citizen watch in 2012. Still works perfect in 2024. If not wearing them I alwsys keep them on shelf. Never keep in closed in dark place! Any light keep them out. Battery will last for very long time. Lets see how last my Skyhawk.

[@christopherfattibene7296]

A very good and informative video thank you

[@shenmisheshou7002]

WT-S Is probably for people that live out of rage of time broadcast services. I don't own the watch, but my guess is that if you set your Summer time manually, it will stay set unless and until the watch receives a WWV (or foreign equivalent) signal. Again only a guess, but now if you select the "OFF" function for the RX-S, it will then not accidentally change your time and SMT if you travel to an area within range of a WWV service, which would then force you to manually change the SMT setting back to whatever is appropriate.

[@albertopoku4040]

Many Thanks, very informative. Bought the watch but couldn't be bothered to read the manual. 1 question, live in the Middle East, can't seem to find any time zone comparable to Arabian Standard time (GMT +3). Have set the time manually but automatically puts any 2nd city I chose 30 mins off

[@mikelopez6269]

Brillant explanation very thankful. I do have an issue with mine is that the battery drained from being stored. When the signal sets the watch hands, the minute hand is 5 minutes ahead of actual true. I tried a full reset and nope, it still did not set as true. What do I do to remedy that please.

[@TheRocketman360]

Unfortunately, this sounds like a very unique issue. In my experience, Citizen does have a good customer care team and would probably be your greatest resource at this point. I'm sorry I'm unable to help you with this issue 😞

[@peterbeyer2384]

Just to let you know, code YMQ is Montreal, Canada. Also, the Province of Newfoundland on the east coast of Canada, is 1 hour and 30 minutes ahead of eastern time. So, such a time zone is much closer than you think.
