Citizen Promaster Satellite Wave Air Review

This is a rare case of the face not looking better in person than in pictures.

Citizen promaster satellite wave air review.

Citizen men s cc1055 53e satellite wave air titanium eco drive watch. Citizen is experimenting a lot with less techie designs seeing how easily it can make gps watches fit within their more mainstream timepieces. But citizen appears to have mastered it because the dlc on my promaster has not failed in six or seven years. This watch does not have a chrono strange for a top of the line quartz watch but the simplicity of the dial without a chrono is appreciated.

Reviewed in the united states on july 31 2020 beautifully complex pilot s tool watch with typical citizen top of the line build quality with a very fair price that basically replicates the functions of the great skyhawk line except with only one alarm and no digital display. Citizen men s cc1076 02e satellite wave air eco drive watch with black band. Cc2006 61e form is just 1 800 lower than the 2 000 price announced to us when it first debuted that is still a lot for a quartz watch but citizen has been good about pushing the price down and pumping the value proposition up. The satellite wave gps timekeeping collection is smart in every sense of the word.

The titanium is nicely finished the two tone look is nice the time sync takes about 15 seconds which is nice compared to my citizen atomic watches that take about 2 minutes to sync and the face is nice too. The other feature of interest was the satellite updating. This new air wave version has all the advantages of the ti case dlc coating and is satellite time correcting and eco drive as well. The wave air went down to about 2 500 on average and the citizen eco drive satellite wave f100 in this ref.

As of mar 2015 according to citizen watch co ltd. The satellite wave collection remains a design winner for citizen but is a lot less mainstream or traditional than designs like this navihawk.
