I have one. It was one of the first watches that I thoughtfully bought. I live in Mexico City and receive the signal from Fort Collins. It's a great watch
Cuanto te costó? Estoy planeando compar uno y me lo ofrecen en 6500, pero no se si sea buen trato. Me gusta el diseño y me agrada que sea radio controlled.
I got mine for 500.00 even with the stainless steel band I love it when you calibrate it takes a long time to reset but once it is done you don't have to do anything else.
I love this watch! I too, recieved this watch as a gift from my wife, and it's been one of the best gifts ever. I had one problem with it. Somehow I messed up the time on it, so I tried to set it like a regular watch and that REALLY messed it up. After that I tried and tried to use my user's manual to no avail, then I tried to use the app and download the instructions, but that didn't work either. Finally I decided to look on RUclips to see what they have. WHY DIDN'T I LOOK HERE SOONER!!??!! I can almost ALWAYS find an answer there! Hopefully I've learned my lesson...HOPEFULLY
The University of RUclips has saved my bacon numerous times, lol!😂 I had the same experience when I got mine a few weeks ago. After a day and a half of fiddling around, I got mine on the straight and narrow. I absolutely love this watch. Glad you got yours sorted out!
$45 at a local pawn shop last week. They couldn’t get it set due to the crown not turning the hands… problem of course was it was set for a different time zone. Their ignorance was my gain.
The antenna at right angle to the signal source has the best chance to receive the signal. With this watch, the antenna is at right angle to the radio signal source when 9 o'clock is pointed at the signal source.
I'd be careful about buying one used. I bought one new from an actual bricks and mortar dealer and am so glad I did. It has quit working twice in the first year of ownership, luckily it was repaired both times for free under warranty, I hate to think what the service charge on a used one would have been? The warranty period is 5 years. It is a great watch when it is working. Not sure I would buy another Citizen though.
I find this interesting. Would like to see some Fotos after the watch has being modified. Did you notice a big difference? How much did it cost and how long did the watchmaker need to do this? Very interesting. But I am happy he did it and you can enjoy it.
@@TriantafyllosThessaloniki I assume he took it out of the case and just painted the hands, The hand is solid Lume right to the base of the hand. Very easy and quick to read. Cost $35.
@@TriantafyllosThessaloniki I phoned Citizen and a nice lady walked me through all the settings for day of the week, time zone, etc. If it is not set properly, the atomic clock feature sets the wrong time each night.
@@peelreg very interesting though that you did this. I ha r an old Casio solar radio which doesn't have a very good lume. And I am thinking about sending it to Casio Germany, for this purpose.
I bought mine years ago. Could never get the atomic radio signal from Colorado to the Philadelphia suburbs. Until now. One good thing to come out of this terrible pandemic.
I heard that the government defunded the radio signal from Colorado. But wasn't sure. Glad it's up and running. (Receiving the signal was always hit-or-miss for me and only when I sat it in a window facing west overnight).
I own one of these. You forgot to mention the sapphire crystal... scratch resistant. I live in Montreal, QC and receive the signal from Fort Collins, Colorado. This watch fits my needs.
All it needs to be perfect is a separate time zone ability on the small 24 hour dial. An inaudible alarm is worthless and not worth sabotaging the dial. Titanium would top it off. I just ordered one, the blue grabbed me. I thought at the time that the small hours could show UTC but the manual doesn't indicate that ability.
HOWARD FINKELSTEIN - Yes, the lume is very frustrating on this watch. My Citizen Promaster diver, on the other hand, has the best lume of any watch I've owned.
There is a new version with LCD display. The band for this is quite small and stiff I decided to use a butterfly attachment with the band to replace the buckle. it now snaps on without bending the strap much.
I love the technology that Citizen features with this watch and as an admirer of horology, I appreciate any and all types of movement. I have atomic-synched G-Shocks and find them wonderful for keeping accurate time, in fact I use them to set whatever automatic watch I choose to wear each morning. My only complaint about the World Chronograph is the overall business of the dial. But I believe a user will get used to it quickly as I had the same initial complaint with a Citizen Nighthawk and now I don't even think about it. As you so ably showed in the video, there is a bit of learning curve that needs to be tackled in order to understand all the watch's capabilities and the procedures needed to exercise them. Great, thorough review as always, Dave!
Thanks Lee. I meant to address the busy dial, but in the few days I've had it, I've gotten used to the layout and "forgot" how busy it was in the course of the review. It is busy, but the minute and hour hands are substantive enough that it gets away with it. But interestingly, in talking to family and friends, Citizen watches are considered at the top of the department store watch selection because they are so busy. A busy watch must do a lot, and if it does a lot, it must be better, or so the thinking goes. So it definitely has a market value.
Hi Dave Very impressing and useful watch with almost all the functions, you can dream up... It's of cause no dress watch with that tool like aesthetics and the busy dail. A fine everyday timepiece, though. I'm not much into quartz, but the eco drive and the solar powered watches could convince me😉 Keep up the good work👍
l bought the red arrows Citizen absolutely fantastic, be careful when buying on second hand ones l got one on ebay absolutely mint but did't hold it's charge.but got new one F Hinds new for the same price as of ebay.
this is my first watch and im trying to understand how to make this watch set the time using radio signals so that its perfect time? How do i set the time using radio waves?
Nice vid. I have had this one now 2 years and I love it in my collection. Your video seems to give yours a higher gloss then mine expecially in your band. might oil mine a little bit. Also your face seems more crisp. Again could be the lighting. Nice work on the details again.
Great review. I may have missed it in the review, but one of the nicer features of this watch, is while other Citizen Blue Angels watches have a mineral crystal, this one has an AR sapphire crystal. To me that makes it even more practical, as you can daily wear it without worrying about accidentally scratching the crystal.
There is no way this is a limited edition watch. It's been in the Citizen catalog for years and it's available everywhere. There is nothing in the Citizen documentation that mentions limited to 2,500 pieces.
Yes, you are correct. I got that info from a watch review article written shortly after the initial release, which makes me wonder if that was the initial plan. But with it's popularity, they'll sell this one for years to come, I imagine.
Great revue and tutorial! Your coupled with Mark Ensbey's make for a full tutorial of the watch. Thanks so much. It's a great watch. I bought it new on eBay so there were no instructions. I played yours and Mark's several times before receiving the watch. So I was well prepared. The setup is quite complex I'm guessing because the stepper motors for the different complications are independent. Mark did not cover how to sync the watch manually because Australia has no time station. Mine took only about five minutes from my home only a few miles from the NJ coast.
nice watch, but the strap situation is absolutely horrible. the holes for the spring bar are way to close to the case which means using a different strap or bracelet is almost impossible without filing down the case and strap tube surrounding the spring bars--so--if you buy a used one, it may be marred--mine certainly is. these watches have increased in price since this video--markedly. if you're ok with the strap situation, it's a glorious piece.
Fantastic watch...Ive seen the blue angels with a friend and his father (who was an engineer for Grumman and helped design jets) several times as a kid. Maybe its just the lighting or my phone but the blue looks off...too much grey...either way great strap, caseback and dial
Thanks for the comment. It's a great watch! But yes, the color is distorted in this video. I find my video setup very frustrating, because I think I've accurately captured the color, then after it's uploaded, it's way off. The watch indeed has a much richer blue dial.
Neuro I know a former guy from the blue angels. He just got out a year ago. He said that neither the navy or citizen gave the blue angel pilots a watch. However, during his time with the blue angels, they all decided to each buy one of the citizen blue angel watches, because... well, because they say ‘blue angels’ on them! The same reason why many people buy them! Awesome story. He said that now the pilots are issued a watch, but for some reason it’s not the Citizen watch. It’s a Garmin Fenix.
The strap is 23mm and is curved to match the case. You can't replace it with an aftermarket one with straight ends. Additionally, the stainless steel bracelet version has a different case. You can't replace the leather band with the stainless bracelet.
I was in love when i saw it but yes it was a but more than i wanted to spend but today i picked up one for 125 only used twice but it had the stainless brace but im definitely swapping them bc i love the blue n yellow convo
Quartz is cool for eco drives,citizens,casios g shocks. Pulsars, bulova. Otherwise I go mechanical Mechanicals more like heirloom watch whereas battery not so much. At some point battery failure renders the watch useless half the time because the leakage runs the movement for all time. You can always fix a mechanical no matter the brand and keep it running and in the family forever.
Yes, I noted that with another commenter. The article I got that from was written back when it was first released. Sounds like they intended it as a limited edition, but it was too hot a seller to limit it.
My time is always off and I don’t have the time or inclination to review how to set your watch every time I want to wear it. So it just sits in my watch case and never gets worn
You need to set the hands in the proper location then your geographic location, the watch will do the rest each day. But if not... you need to manually set the day date month and leap year then if the solar charge works your set . If it is still off your watch is broken. and not running correct. If you store it away remove it to keep the battery charged until you sell it.
Does anyone know if you can keep 2 different times with this watch? (ie main watch says one time, 24h subdial keeps a 2nd time zone, like many GMT watches)?
Abdallah - The way this watch works is that you pull the crown and turn it to switch time zones, and the watch adjusts the time accordingly. But you can't display two time zones at once on the dial, to the best of my understanding. So think of it as keeping all time zones, but you can only select one at a time to display.
Thanks for the video, very helpful... just got mine today! And the left buttom it's to help pilots calculate how many nautical miles, time, fuel, speed, if are planing a cross country... you have some videos that can help you on that...
King Paramore - You pull the crown to the first position and the chrono hand will move to your current time zone. Then turn the crown until the hand moves to the correct time zone, and when you push the crown back in, it will turn the hands automatically to the correct time. It's pretty cool!
It's not really a perpetual calander. The radio time signal from atomic clocks includes the date. If you set the watch manually and it never receives the atomic clock radio transmission, you will have to reset the calander at the begining of every month.
My AT8020-03L isn't a limited model and neither is yours. It's been in the catalog for years and it's in the catalog as of July 2018. Where did you get the idea it's limited.
Larry Smith - The original reviews early on referred to the Blue Angel's editions as limited editions. Obviously, they aren't now. Though they do make certain variations of this that are limited in production.
It's too bad that this doesn't have YHZ Halifax time zone because my g-shock rangeman picks up the tower closest to NYC and actually does set to it for my local time
The rotating bezel is a flight computer. You can figure time speed and distance problems, eta, fuel burn etc, plus doe conversion between liters, gallons, miles, kilometers, etc. There are several videos on using a flight computer on RUclips. The WWV radio signal is short wave so it will bounce all over the place. Go through walls, etc, so you don't even have to point the watch west or have it outside. If you are out of range of one station you are usually in the range of another.
great video. any chance you could give me a weight on the watch? i.e. ounces or grams. i can't locate it anywhere online. It's such a critical spec and I dislike how manufactures withhold it.
Thanks Dave! It was a toss up between this and a Seiko Astron SSE053. I tried the Seiko in a store and bet it easily weighs 3 times as much. I can't justify paying $1000 for a heavy 10+ oz timepiece on my wrist. Blue Angel it is!
Matthew Moss - I believe I read that in several early reviews of this watch. I think the Blue Angel's line was intended to be limited edition, but with its popularity, I doubt it is. I see they are doing variations of this in different metals in limited editions though. Enjoy the watch! It's a beauty!
@@DavesWatchLove To be fair, the SAT was probably different when you took it. Nowadays the max score is 1600 and there is no point deduction for getting wrong answers, they only award points for right answers. (No guessing penalty)

Finally, an in-depth 'how-to' for setting mode/functions. ONLY HERE!
$45 at a local pawn shop last week. They couldn’t get it set due to the crown not turning the hands… problem of course was it was set for a different time zone. Their ignorance was my gain.
The antenna at right angle to the signal source has the best chance to receive the signal. With this watch, the antenna is at right angle to the radio signal source when 9 o'clock is pointed at the signal source.
a tip to increase leather strap life bees wax, rub it in every so often, sweat damages the leather
Just buy a bar of bees wax and rub it on the band?

Thank you for the indepth review. I have one for about 4 years. Its working so perfect. I love the watch. I live in nigeria. Its agreat watch, really.
the slide rule is an aviation calculator called E6B. Helps figure out groundspeed and fuel burn.
I have one. My old eyes did not see the hands easily, so I had my watchmaker paid the entire hand with lume. Instant reading now.

Citizen and Casio are the only quartz brands I would buy. Mechanical/automatic take first preference though.
Bulova is ok too but I agree in theory
Very beautiful watch wow!

Always great to see Citizen get some love. Love the Eco Drive line and this is one of my favourites. Great vid Dave. Cheers.
What's the lifespan of this watch? Eventually the capacitor/battery will die.
Will Citizen's provide the ability to have it serviced?
is it true you can use an iphone and an app to simulate the radio towers?
Thanks, very useful.
can i switch to a steel strap for my citizen at8020 03L?? I got the leather one can i buy the steel strap and change it.

Source of radio time signal is WWVB. Here is the website for those curious. www.nist.gov/pml/time-and-frequency-division/radio-stations/wwvb
is no limited edition!i have one and I know sounds fancy to say that is limited but its not

How i can change data's this watch?!

If you travel out of the country does it automatically make adjustments or must you do reset process?
King Paramore - You pull the crown to the first position and the chrono hand will move to your current time zone. Then turn the crown until the hand moves to the correct time zone, and when you push the crown back in, it will turn the hands automatically to the correct time. It's pretty cool!
you have to set up time yourself
It's not really a perpetual calander. The radio time signal from atomic clocks includes the date. If you set the watch manually and it never receives the atomic clock radio transmission, you will have to reset the calander at the begining of every month.
Setting the month and leap year will make it correct forever. If you get the atomic time signal it will override the manual settings.

Sigh.. The seconds hand doesn't even align with the minute markers around the 12 to 4 o'clock position.
Yep. That's one thing that's way too common on quartz watches. Which is why I love my mechanicals.
There's no H in eco-drive
great video. any chance you could give me a weight on the watch? i.e. ounces or grams. i can't locate it anywhere online. It's such a critical spec and I dislike how manufactures withhold it.
My scale tells me it's 88 grams / 3.1 oz. Hope that helps!

I'd be a little skeptical of it being a limited edition, I know of 4 people that own one in my small town of 50,000 people. Great watch though.
Hey Dave, are you interested in coming to Lancaster Thursday evening for a hamilton event?
Kevin Martin - Very interested! Except I've got work and then straight to class. It's the one day I don't have a spare minute. :(
Too bad. The Lancaster AD is throwing a 125 birthday party for the birth hometown
I got a 1480 on my SAT I hope my parents will buy this for me
Congratulations! That's a little better than my 1060, and I still got the watch. So you should be good. 😄
@@DavesWatchLove To be fair, the SAT was probably different when you took it. Nowadays the max score is 1600 and there is no point deduction for getting wrong answers, they only award points for right answers. (No guessing penalty)
@@DavesWatchLove Update: Dad said yes
Thinking of selling my blue angels nighthawk for one of these. Eco as in economics not echo, sorry I had to.
