My most useful watch for daily life and my job (pilot) has been a Citizen Navihawk JY8035.
I have many styles between the Apple Watch and a Garmin Fenix to a 5$ Casio. The functionality is amazing both day and night.
Features I wanted:
Automatic time updates to the second
Analog face
Digital second readout
Solar
Visible at night
Secondary time without any button presses (I use UTC)
I list it because it is the best designed watch I’ve used. I’d use it over a breitling any day for functionality. However I would gladly give up one of those circular dials for a date readout. It takes one rotation to switch between the secondary time and the date currently.

- SomeHacker44 5y agoI have had the blue angels version for many years. Now that I am old and need reading glasses, the watch has lost its appeal. I still keep it charged and ready to go, though.
- walterbell 5y agoIs there an option for leather or metal watchband, either from Citizen or aftermarket?
- colechristensen 5y agoAlmost every watch has a standard replaceable wristband.
- walterbell 5y agoLooks like this one is a non-standard 23mm instead of 22mm width.
- Diesel555 5y agoI use an alternative band for it. https://www.borealiswatch.com/store/#!/Borealis-Vulcanized-Rubber-Strap-24mm-Black-Best-Offer-in-Market-for-Diver-Watches/p/69242029 https://www.borealiswatch.com/store/#!/Borealis-Vulcanized-R...
