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 love the overall design of the watch, its very nodern and matches well with many outfits. I'd say this is a versatile watch that has use a daily driver. The only problems I have with it are that the chronometer dials are a bit hard to read and there's little to no luminescence on the dials of the watch for nighttime use.
I love this watchs look, feel, and functionality but a little over a year after I purchased it the clasp gave out. My jeweler told me I would have to replace the whole bracelet. Haven't worn it since.
