- Does the Skyhawk A-T need a battery?
- No. It runs on Citizen's Eco-Drive solar movement, charged by any light, and the rechargeable cell typically lasts many years.
- How does radio-controlled timekeeping work?
- The watch syncs nightly with atomic clock signals in the US, Europe, Japan and China. If no signal is available it runs as a normal quartz watch until the next sync.
- Can I swim with it?
- Yes. It is rated 200 m water resistant, so swimming and showering are fine. The leather strap is the weak point in water, so a rubber or steel strap suits pool and sea use better.
- What is the case size?
- The case is roughly 45 mm across, which wears large. Shoppers with wrists under about 7 inches should try it on first.
- What functions does it have?
- World time for 43 cities, a 1/100-second chronograph, countdown timer, alarms, perpetual calendar and a UTC display, plus a light for the dial.
- How does it compare with the steel-bracelet Skyhawk?
- The movement and functions are the same. The bracelet version is heavier but better matched to the 200 m rating and needs no strap replacement.
