I got this as a month ago as a gift. I didn't like watches before the nighthawk. It's great. I've worn it every day since
I received this watch as a gift from my wife, which I picked out myself. I wear it everyday, religiously.
I bought my Citizen Nighthawk about three months ago. It is my first watch I ever purchased and I could not be happier. Everytime I look down and see it on my wrist I love it even more. The watch is perfect. It's can be dressed up like I wear it every day(business dress) but then I have no problem wearing it causal either. I love the look but it's also very comfortable! Overall I'm very pleased with this watch and have no regrets purchasing it!
I had this on my Christmas wish list a few years ago my family pitched in and got it for me best watch I've ever had fits perfect I have since purchased another citizen watch and even more in love with it
I purchased this watch years ago on sale at a local Kay Jewelers, it was priced $200 or $300 off the MSRP of $499. It's been worn through two combat deployments and years before and since. I am rough on my watches and outside of the band being worn and the crystal slightly scratched from repeatedly being hit by steel, it has held up wonderfully.
I buy my watch 3 years ago and this week sometinght was rang 2 times.
This watch is mechanically great and looks amazing. It's hard to see indoors or in dim light. In complete darkness the lume is alright and did the job. The only problem is this mineral glass scratches so easily. This should come with a sapphire installed.

I’ve owned this watch for a few months now and what a beautiful watch it is. I initially noticed this watch when I purchased my first ever Citizen, but I didn’t have the money at the time to get it. With black being my favorite color in many things, I knew I wanted to own this watch one day. Now that I do, I’m very happy with it. My only complaint (like many other peoples) is that the watch can be hard to read at times. However, I don’t mind much as I have many other Citizens that aren’t blacked out and are easier to read. Another small gripe is the ion plating. I don’t wear this watch as much as some others I own because I’ve seen pictures of how other Nighthawks and how terrible their bands look when scratched. So for that reason, this watch inevitably won’t be an everyday wear for me.
I have 6 citizen watches. I actually just bought another one yesterday, the mens corso. My nighthawk i bought about 2 years ago and i thought the hands just didnt light up until i realized i got a bad watch. Ill leave it under the sun for a week just so it lights up for a second. Wish it worked as presented. If you guys can do anything that would be greet! I have had one of your watches for 10 years
I've wanted to get a citizen watch for many years, this Nighthawk is my first. This watch is beautiful. The build quality is above reproach. Warning to those who try to use it in low light, you just can't see the dial and that's okay if you know about it before hand. Also I got my size off by a little and they sent me an extra link no questions asked. The replacement of the link was super simple. Great watch, great customer service.
I’ve owned this Watch now for about a month and started collecting citizen watches about 5 months ago, the main issue that people have with these watches is that you can’t read the dial, and while that is true if it’s absolutely dark outside in any other condition I never have trouble. The watch has a very expensive and strong feeling to it with just the right amount of weight. I’m hoping to further my collection soon and get more of the nighthawk line up in the future! Great job citizen, you’ve created another masterpiece!
Im very disappointed in Citizen. I bought this watch about 2 years ago and the watch’s battery hasn’t held a charge for longer than 2 hours since I brought it home. I took it back to the retailer who then sent it to Citizen for repair. It was returned, apparently fixed, but it’s still not working. At this point, I wear it because it looks amazing with all my suits. Not for telling time. What a disappointing experience.
My favorite watch by far, I’ve been working on the oil industry for 23 years and ruined a few watches out here. This is the first watch that I’ve slammed up against any and everything out here and it hasn’t scratched or broken. Very good quality watch look forward to buying several more.
Ordered this watch as a hotel points premium several months ago. Only saw the online representation of it. Never saw an example in person until it arrived at my door. I was really excited when I placed the order, as I already own a couple other Citizen watches and those have always been among my favorites. But wow! What a MASSIVE disappointment when I first opened the box! The face, the hashmarks and numerals, all three secondary dials and the primary hands are ALL virtually the same shade of black! Most definitely does not show the same contrast as shown on the Citizen website. Who designs a watch like this! Completely unreadable indoors, in a vehicle or on a plane. Very nearly unreadable outdoors, especially with sunglasses on unless it is in extremly direct sunlight! This watch is completely amazing in as far as just how utterly useless it actually is! No way I would have EVER chosen this watch in person. Otherwise, the traditional Citizen quality of materials and workmanship is certainly there, and I guess it does look pretty good on my wrist. I just can't use it to actually tell the time of day. My recommendation to anyone considering this watch as an online purchase for yourself or as a gift.... Seek out a nearby Citizen dealer and try to see one in person first. I so wish now that I had done so.....

durable strong and heavy and light at the same tim

My father owned citizens all my life and he was a commercial diver and chief engineer on freighters and bulk carriers. I finally bought my first one and i am very happy with it. The only thing about it is the illumination of the hands and face never worked. I purchased it brand new so i figure possibly because it was in a case under fluorescents. Other than that i am very pleased. It's been to a depth of 145ft and has suffered through commercial fishing for 2 years and it still Is going strong.
I cannot read the dial. Sharp styling and great features, but day-to-day, I cannot read the dial! Some photos of this model lead you to believe it would quite beautiful and useful, but what good is a watch when it can't be read in all but rare ideal conditions? Hard to believe such a great Company could design such a boat anchor.
I bought this watch after reading reviews and talking to a friend who is big into watches because I've wanted to buy a good watch for a while now and I'm glad I did. The style of the watch is perfect, the overall feel of the watch is amazing and I couldn't be happier with this purchase. Having said that, at nighttime you WILL NOT be able to read this watch, so don't even try but come on, everyone has smart phones now. I bought this watch for daytime time reading so I don't have to pull my phone out every time I need to know the time. I would recommend this watch to everyone. Very pleased customer. Thanks citizen!!!
In even moderate indoor light, watch is too dark to read. It's a totally useless product.
I ordered this watch online. Had I tried it in the store I would not have purchased it. Looks great, but I can only read the dial under ideal light conditions. I'm returning it.
This watch is the top of the line for an average joe with a little extra money. It’s a great everyday wear and it’s blacked out look draws a lot of attention. 5/5
