Great watch with a couple of small problems

This watch has most of the features a pilot needs. The titanium case and band make for a very lightweight and good looking watch. The subtle blue of the dial and bezel with the yellow accents look fantastic.
The ability to swap the time from the digital display to the analogue display is wonderful when changing time zones. Setup is relatively easy and since the analogue display and digital display are always synced and key off of each other there is never a discrepancy in times displayed on the watch: the second hand is always in sync with the digital seconds, the hands always read the exact same time as the digital display.
The battery never needs changing, because it's charged by light. I haven't had any problems with enough light to keep the battery charged. The watch will go into several power saving modes that will help save the battery, but it will immediately snap to the correct time as soon as it detects a little light.
One thing about Citizen pilot watches that has kept me from buying one until now is the size of the digital displays. They are just too small. They still remain too small IMO, my 40 year old eyes have some difficulty reading the displays unless I am wearing my reading glasses. Another niggle is the lack of a backlight. A backlight is a basic feature that's been on watches for many years, I was really surprised that this watch didn't have one. I guess that's one way to save the battery on a solar powered watch.
Overall, this is one of the nicer watches I have ever owned. The features on this watch are almost everything I need. This watch looks good, and is very functional. It's almost a perfect pilot watch.
