I bought the watch on-line because I was looking for a water resistant (for snorkeling) watch that was self winding or solar powered. This eco-drive watch meets those needs quite well. It keeps time when wet and I don't have to replace any batteries which can allow moisture in. The watch is not particularly comfortable. It is thicker than any watch I've owned at 12 - 13 mm. The band and watch, together, are just over 8" long. I don't have a large wrist but this is not big enough for a comfortable fit and the watch has dropped off my wrist more than once. Citizen offered not help on sizing a better band. The glow in the dark simply doesn't. I can not read the dial when waking up in the middle of the night. Glad I have a cell phone. I can not make out the date even when wearing reading glasses unless the light is perfect for that task. This is the only analog watch I've ever owned where that is the case. I called Citizen looking for some help with an exchange. No joy there. The pretty much said, "it sucks to be me". Some I'm out several hundred $ with a watch that is not, for all intents and purposes, functional.
Love it for work since we do our paperwork in UTC.
Lost 2-4 minutes a day. Like the look and feel just poor time keeping
Love my Nighthawk. It looks great. I have a wonderful dial for day or night visual. Lightweight and versatile.
Everything you expect from Citizen. Awesome box, and works perfectly before you even put it on. The crystal is amazing makes you realize what a difference quality makes. I have had dozens of positive comments in the couple of weeks I’ve had it and it holds its charge perfectly, even after sitting in a drawer over the weekend.
Great watch that needs a few tweaks to be perfect, so listen up Citizen! As others have noted, the arrow is inverted at 60, fix that. The date is too difficult to read - it's set so far down below the face that it gets shadows making it hard to read at a glance. Make the window bigger, or tapered, or use a matching orange/black for better contrast, or a magnifier. Pick one, fix that. What I like - the look, and readability - great sized numerals and hands for quick checks. Great lume too. Overall looks/feels solid, and the green strap is a beaut. As a bonus, a screw down crown wouldn't hurt either. Of course, once you make these corrections, a sample would be appreciated! Good bang for the buck overall.
I love this watch great quality price very precise
