This is an excellent watch with a strong presence.  It is very easy to read at a glance, as the markers are large and bold.  The crystal is perfectly clear and distortion free.

The band and the deployment clasp are solid, well made and of quality materials.  It is a very comfortable watch to wear after a proper fitting.

The second time zone with 24 hour indications is a feature appreciated by all pilots. And unlike some other watches with dual time, this watch makes the second time zone markings large enough to actually be useful.  The knob for the slide rule bezel/E6B computer is pretty awkward to use as it is located at the 8:00 position, unless you wear this on your right arm.  However this type of gadget is normally used on the ground for quick pre flight planning or 'hangar flying' and not usually in flight, so doesn't detract from the watch.

The BLUE lume (glow in the dark) on the hands and markers is a nice change from the typical green.  It is liberally applied to all markers, and very bright after a charge in the light.  It really gives the watch a standout night appearance, with the look of a modern cockpit instrument.

Considering the large diameter of the watch, the case has a pretty low profile.

This is my second Citizen watch but certainly not my last.  I have a vast collection of 'pilot' style watches, several costing 30x the price of this watch.  However I can honestly say that the newer Citizen flight series watches equal the fit and finish of some of the finest luxury brands. The glaring omission is the lack of a sapphire crystal.  I really hope Citizen steps up and starts giving the US market what it already gives the Japanese market and the Euro market - we really need sapphire crystals.

Other wish lists for this watch are Atomic Time, and a larger date display with perpetual calendar.

The bottom line is that you can't go wrong with this watch for the price.
