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.
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.
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 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 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.
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 buy my watch 3 years ago and this week sometinght was rang 2 times.
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 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 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 received this watch as a gift from my wife, which I picked out myself. I wear it everyday, religiously.
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 bought this watch for a company party it look great but before you buy its very dark and hard to read but looks great in my opinion
the watch itself is nice looking but unless you are in fairly bright light its difficult to read, it would have been nice if they put a light in it
The face of this watch is difficult to read, even in the best of light conditions. There little contrast at most angles. I found this watch to be unusable in any moderate to low light conditions. The "luminous" markings are basically nonexistent. The Nighthawk line of watches have good features, but even in the best light conditions, they are best difficult to use on this particular style.
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.
In even moderate indoor light, watch is too dark to read. It's a totally useless product.
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.
It’s been in my hands for a few years now. The eco drives are amazing in general! Pros- this looks amazing! Very well built and very stout(very heavy also) Keeps track of time pretty much perfect as long as it’s worn. Did I mention how good it looks? Cons- if it’s dark out or getting dark, don’t even bother looking at it as the lume is one of the worst, this is very disappointing because of the price. I’ve had cheap 30$ Casios glow most of the night. Dont try to test the water resistance as you will die trying to do so. Rated up to 666feet. The crystal is.. well I don’t know. It doesn’t advertise sapphire and if it’s not then it needs to be ,again.. the price.
Mechanically awesome and looks stunning. The ONLY downside is no backlight to see it when in a dark room or at night.
Very sleek look but it's hard to read the gray-on-black hands and the glow-in-the-dark elements fade quickly
The Nighthawk is a very good looking watch. The problem I have with it is it’s so dark that it can’t be read at night and it has no illumination. So I have to wear it as a daytime watch only.
