What you will see
Sittwe is outside the path of totality, so the Sun is never fully covered. At the peak, 17:48:17 local time, the Moon hides 6% of the Sun. The partial eclipse starts at 17:20:03 and ends at 18:15:27, 55 min later.
At the peak the Sun is 14° above the horizon, towards the west, so you want a clear view in that direction from Sittwe.
