Yes. Given its light weight, I will never replace it too.

It's a good bracelet with no air gaps. But it is replaceable, if you look at the back, you can see small gaps whereby a small tool can be used to dislodge the pins that hold the strap in place. It is a great bracelet and I've not found any reason to replace it except for aesthetics.

Mine looks exactly the same. From the front it looks like it is not replaceable. I probably am wrong.

Really?

The images of the strap and lug from the back, show that it is replaceable just like any other bracelet. Can you show us a picture of your watch?

collected the watch today. It is Titanium case and bracelet. If anyone is looking at replacing the strap with a leather one, you can't do it.

I read in some forums that in the UK the skyhawk version which comes with a sapphire crystal (JY0080-62E) is usually a few hundreds of pounds dearer and they don't want people buying this version of the watch and upgrading the glass. So they discontinued doing it.

That makes no sense. The dimensions are different (to what?) and they cannot fit a sapphire crystal? Surely they are the manufacturers and they can get sapphire crystals of any size. Hmmmmn

Sounds like some lazy customer services rep fobbed you off.

I contacted citizen service and got the below reply.

Dear Sir

Thank you for your email. As your watch did not originally come with a sapphire glass we are unable to fit one as the dimensions of your case are very slightly different and the watch will be compromised on the water resistancy.

Kind regards

PS. I read on some forums that they do the upgrade in US, but not in UK.

I collected my watch yesterday, it is definitely Titanium. Also, the £15 discount still available on store (till 19th, you need to do return and immediately re-buy). The coupon is issues for any £10 purchase, worth £15 discount against a £70 or more offer. It's a bit long way around but you can get something worth £15 for (effectively) free.

There was some talk of citizen offering a sapphire upgrade if you sent the watch to them and paid a small fee (£50 or so). I never had it done to my watch but might be worth someone contacting citizen customer services to see if they still offer that service for this watch.

Great watch, fairly large and busy, but full of features.

There's a couple of other radio controlled Eco-Drive watches with sapphire glass, but not titanium, listed on HUKD at the moment.

Out of stock and had to be forcibly removed from my basket when I tried.
Shame.

Looks like its back in now

Out of stock now.

£15 coupon is only against FULL PRICED items. Checked.

Wow this watch is fugly, but looks like a good price.

My friend has got one on his arm and it attracts women like a magnet, they keep stroking his arm. I tell him he
has got it on the wrong part but he just denies it and says he is just a honeypot to all the ladies who kiss his watch.

Price matched at Amazon.

Just trying to decide which one I like the most!! So has the £15 off voucher period been and gone now?

Does mineral glass scratch that easily? Anyone know a similar watch but with sapphire?

I bought one of these about 8 years ago for this price used! So this is a cracking price. Also a really nice watch.

I've had this titanium watch for over 9 years now. Never needed to change the time or battery :smiley: use it for work and feel lost without it. I bought mine from eBay for £255 open box from America. Wish they come out with a Skyhawk 3. Defo worth buying this model, proven to last you 9 years +

£249 off this one, not entirely sure I've ever seen it at £499 though. Prefer that, all titanium and less busy, not radio controlled though.

Always fancied this, but mineral glass face is a no go unfortunately. Good price if you work in an office!

This one perhaps!!

For me this is WAY too busy a watch face!! However, cracking price if this is your thing. Heat.

this is not just the name. bracelet is made from titanium, incredibly light and strong.
I've got one for years and love it.

Hmm. I think this is deceptive, if a watch has titanium on the watch face, I really think the watch itself should be made of titanium: surely they can't say it is just a name.

If only everything was Eco-Drive.

Bloody hell, what does he get for his birthday? Bar of chocolate and some "best dad" socks for me I expect this weekend, but not complaining!

thanks op. just ordered for kids to give other half for fathers day. And if he doesn't like it, at least I've got 30 days to return it!

I
I find that alot with some things online, look a lot better in the flesh. I do like Citizens. Not as much as I like Omegas now but what I like and what I can afford/ am willing to spend on a watch is a different matter :smiley:.

I thought the same, but after seeing it the flesh its not so busy. I've had one for years now and it is still going strong. Doesn't need to be in the light that often either, in fact I've left it for 6 months at a time and its always had charge when I went back to it.

Fantastic deal.

I voted hot because of the price but the watch face is a bit busy for my taste though. Plus I couldn't read it without my bins on either :disappointed:

Just goes to show that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I think it's ugly as hell! I like cleaner minimal faces though and that's far too busy for me.

Hot deal though.

I'm so tempted. Any idea how long the offer is on for? :sunglasses:

Do you think we're psychic? What watch? :confused:

Nice watch.

Go for the £239 half price watch at H Samuel, or Amazon when they get stock in. Ive got one and it is sublime

Case is stainless steel while strap is titanium as per description

Just ordered. Cracking price. No idea how you use the supposed £15 voucher though.

Link takes you to a stainless steel version...

how do you do this ?

- If you spend £10 transaction, you get a £15 coupon that can be used against this watch

Good spot, thanks

Why does it says stainless steel in the title and yet titanium in the description ?

Heat added a lot of watch for the money, plus it's a eco drive and in my experience they last for a very very long time.

which one is better better out of the two this one or

The blue angels and red arrow have the same outside ring as opposed to this one which has metal dots but for £250 saving i can live with the dots

Great price. If the blue angels was titanium i would pull the trigger.

beautiful

They also have the "Citizen Eco-Drive Skyhawk Blue Angels" version for £224, but I thought the Titanium one is better (and ordered instore). http://www.hsamuel.co.uk/webstore/d/6516866/Citizen+Eco-Drive+Skyhawk+Blue+Angels+Men's+Bracelet+Watch/

Amazing watch bought one and is great, pretty much the same as the red arrow version but less than half the price

5years warranty + 1 year if register with citizen

£7.02 quidco for in store purchases :smile:
