Citizen Promaster Skyhawk U830vsPhoibos Voyager

The Citizen Promaster Skyhawk U830 is praised for its updated 43mm titanium case, legible memory-in-pixel display, and cleaner, less cluttered design compared to previous versions. Reviewers highlight its versatile contemporary look and enhanced functionality from the caliber U830, while owners appreciate the MIP display and screw-down caseback. Some users find the interface clunky and the face busy, particularly noting the "calendar" label and the lack of radio or GPS time synchronization, with one owner finding the 45mm size and busy subdials less useful for non-pilots. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Citizen Promaster Skyhawk U830 highly for its impressive technology and improved legibility in a contemporary package.

The Phoibos Voyager is noted for its attractive MOP dial that plays with light and good overall finishing, along with a fun octopus logo. However, the red-on-red date wheel is illegible and may be misaligned. One owner flags the 13.5mm thick case, while comfortable at 39mm, as prone to striking objects. Overall, owners appreciate the dial's visual appeal and finishing, despite legibility issues with the date wheel.
