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 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
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.
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!
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 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
People saying that they can't read the dial are just being contrary. Seriously, it's a non-issue. If you're not a fan of a blacked-out design, then you got the wrong watch. If you want the best-looking blacked-out watch on the market, then this is for you! I mean that wholeheartedly. I've not seen another all-black watch that looks as good as this one. Even the other Nighthawk models don't come close. After hundreds of wears, I did begin having some issues with the end pieces of the bracelet popping out of place. This was frustrating, but I can't even knock it down to 4-stars because this watch is just beautiful and help up for years before that started.
Purchased as a gift for my boyfriend, he absolutely LOVES it.
I absolutely love this watch. Yeah, it’s black.. its supposed to be.. the blue accents I find set the deep black off perfectly. For my young generation eyes, I have zero problems seeing the dial. I could see it being difficult to read for someone that has lesser quality vision. I guess I don’t see why anyone would post anything negative about it. What you see is what you get, and I love it!
Citizen Response
I receive a lot of compliments wearing it and I personally like the look because it can be worn in any situation. It also is all blacked out and does not have much contrast as others have mentioned but I do like that since it makes it look more cool and for me it is not hard to ever tell time with the watch.
Excellent product. He loved it. Perfect gift. Classy, elegant
I bought this watch roughly 8-9 years ago when it was a new release I believe and it is easily my favorite watch I own. I still wear this watch on a daily basis. The crystal has some minor scratching now, but Ive literally put this watch through h.e.double hockey sticks and back and it still keeps performing! Well done Citizen!!! Its awesome to see that it is still listed as a current design!
I saw this watch at the airport when flying out on holiday. It immediately took my notice and looked even better on my wrist. I already owned a rose gold Citizen Eco Drive watch and this like my other was different from the norm and stood out. It has and still is a very good watch. It is stylish comfortable to wear and very well built. I now own two further Eco Drives and both this s the rose gold one are kept for those special occasions. Totally very happy with these and thoroughly recommended.
