great looking watch. completely non legible except in direct sunlight. at night the lime only lasts maybe an hour
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 purchased this sleek looking watch while on a cruise in Nassau. I had my prescription sunglasses on in the store, so I thought that was the reason the watch seemed extra dark. When we arrived back at the ship and I wore my regular glasses, the dials were still extremely difficult to read indoors. Much to my dismay, the watch was challenging to read outside as well. I can only wear the watch in complete daylight. I would only use the watch as a daytime watch. The dials are not luminous in dark conditions, so don’t purchase it if you are looking for a do it all watch. This watch is just for outside on the brightest day.
It looks cool, but is basically unusable. Cannot see anything, so we are returning. So bummed, b/c wanted an all black watch.
I had ordered this warch online through Kohls and did an in store pick up and was very excited to see it in person. When I got there I opened it first before leaving the store to check it out and was glad I did because I was super bummed. Everthing about it was awesome except for how dark it was. I loved the color of the picture and thought it would have slight hints of blue in it and the hands would have shades of silver for a sleek look but it turned out to look black on black on black which makes it very hard to read. I returned it and left with no watch. The only reason im giving it 2 stars is because of the quality. Loved the weight and size of the face but just couldnt get over color.
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.
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.
This watch was a gift from my daughter so it has "meaning" other than that it is completly non FUNCTIONAL, it has soo much dark in it that renders it useless night or day....i actually HATE this watch.....guess i should carry a magnifieng glass...
