Which is better for swimming?

The Skyhawk. It is rated to 200 m and Citizen lists it for swimming, showering and snorkeling. The Brycen is rated to 100 m, which covers pool swimming but not diving.

Is the Skyhawk worth the extra over the Brycen?

It depends on the price gap. The Skyhawk adds titanium, sapphire, 200 m water resistance and alarms. The Brycen gives you a lighter, simpler watch at a known $248.00 at eBay as of November 6, 2026.

Which one lasts longer?

Both use Eco-Drive solar movements that never need a battery. The Skyhawk's sapphire crystal and titanium case resist scratches and corrosion better over years. The Brycen's leather band will likely need replacing first.

Which wears better on a small wrist?

The Brycen. It is 44 mm wide and 12.1 mm thick at 4.00 oz. The Skyhawk is about 46 mm and 192.77 g, so it sits larger and heavier.

Do either need a battery change?

No. Both are Citizen Eco-Drive, charged by any light source. The Brycen's listing says it never needs a battery, and the Skyhawk runs on the same principle.

Which is better for flying or travel?

The Skyhawk. It is built for pilots with a slide rule bezel, dual time, two alarms and a backlit digital display. The Brycen is a plain analog chronograph with a date.
