Who should buy which.

The PCAT Green Dial Leather (CB5919-00X): A buyer who wants a feature-rich solar chronograph with a warmer, more elegant look. Choose a steel Skyhawk if you prefer a tool-watch bracelet, or a simpler chronograph if you do not want the extra functions.

The Promaster Skyhawk A-T Blue Dial (JY8078-52L): A pilot-watch fan who wants a world-time, alarm and chronograph tool that never needs a battery. Choose a plain three-hand watch if you want something slim and quiet. Choose the Skyhawk JY8146 if you prefer the darker dial.

Before you order.

Rose gold-tone plating wears differently from solid steel, and at 13 mm thick (per Watches of America) it is not a slim dress watch. Check Citizen’s manual for setting the atomic and alarm functions.

It is large and heavy for what it is. Citizen lists a 45 mm case and Watches of America lists 14 mm thickness, so it will not slip under a fitted cuff. The ana-digi dial is also busy, and learning the crown and pushers takes a read of the manual.
