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 bought this as my first Citizen watch, and starter into "entry level luxury". The aesthetics caught my eye, but Eco Drive sold me. I was in love with this watch from the start, but slowly fell out of love after enduring some issues, and finding one major design flaw which has cost me $ in repairs. Pros: Stealth look, solid feel on your wrist, and Eco Drive! Cons: For starters, as others mentioned, you can't see much without full lighting. The band also began to wear, to where I now have a "two tone" band just a few years later (the coating is not very resilient). The crystal scratches fairly easily as well. Finally, the BIG flaw....the stem of the crown sits WAY too loose into the bezel. There is WAY too much play between the two. Because of this, two to three time zone changes a year have managed to break the stem off requiring nonwarranteed repairs TWICE now. I have since went to a Navihawk A-T and this watch sits unused for fear of breaking it again.
I bought this watch about a month ago from Helzberg Diamonds. I get all of my jewelry from Helzberg so when it was time for a new watch, they were my go to place. Upon seeing and trying on the Nighthawk, I was immediately happy with its look and feel. I loved the design and thought the black/grey combo looked very professional. Unfortunately about a week after I bought it, the pin that fastens the clasp to the watch itself broke on the end. Now when I take the watch on and off, the clasp just dangles there and could fall off at any point. I have to be very careful when I take it off so that I don't lose the clasp. Again, love the look and feel of the watch but can't believe a part of it broke in less than a week's time.
Good: Sturdy Construction Eco-Drive Bad: Easily Scratched Screen Glow-in-the-Dark Feature of Numbers and Hands is EXTREMELY POOR
