My most useful watch for daily life and my job (pilot) has been a Citizen Navihawk JY8035.

I have many styles between the Apple Watch and a Garmin Fenix to a 5$ Casio. The functionality is amazing both day and night.

Features I wanted:

Automatic time updates to the second

Analog face

Digital second readout

Solar

Visible at night

Secondary time without any button presses (I use UTC)

I list it because it is the best designed watch I’ve used. I’d use it over a breitling any day for functionality. However I would gladly give up one of those circular dials for a date readout. It takes one rotation to switch between the secondary time and the date currently.

I have had the blue angels version for many years. Now that I am old and need reading glasses, the watch has lost its appeal. I still keep it charged and ready to go, though.


Is there an option for leather or metal watchband, either from Citizen or aftermarket?



Almost every watch has a standard replaceable wristband.


Looks like this one is a non-standard 23mm instead of 22mm width.
