This is my Third Blue Angels Eco- Chronograph drive. I loved my first two immensely. They are very light and comfortable to wear. This new model has a redesigned band and face. The band is not as comfortable as the older design and it does annoy me to wear it all day. The other problem is the face of the watch looks almost black. Not as blue as the picture shows or like the other Blue Angel watches. As well, the printing on the face lacks enough color contrast which makes it look dull and hard to see. It saddens me to say that I most likely would not buy this watch again. I'm disappointed.
Nice watch, light on the wrist. YouTube videos helpful in working out how to set. Time syncing ok with only occasional fails (south east PA). Manual syncs in daytime less reliable.
I purchased this discontinued model December 2023 from an online retailer. It is beautiful titanium and if you still search you may find the titanium, the only way to go. Also got a another same model in a black and orange color, identical to this blue and yellow. My first solar Nighthawk Titanium was purchased in 2001 and lasted two years until battery went out. Citizen Repair in California says they can replace toe battery, and since this eco drive model had a lifetime battery warranty there would be no additional charge for the battery Sway. It is still like new and has a rounded glass crystal which is strong and unscathed. The hands on that one are white with a yellow sweep second, although the digital display is tiny, I love it. These Two newer ones will. Last forever for me and I will always be a Citizen (and noe a recent Bulova watch fan, Citizen owns Bulova now). Great design and quality. Enjoy anything with hands, especially Eco Drives, you don't have to worry about the battery and the water tight seals, just recharge in indirect sunlight not too hight temperature). PS You can download an App on the Android store (have not checked Apple) to radio sync your radio controlled watch, who knew). These watches are for someone who appreciates technical marvels and beauty in design and function Encased in Titanium is the way to go, Love (Thank You) Citizen I have other Citizen syaiess which are a bit more heavy and not an everyday watch for comfort. Aloha.
