CitizenMen's Eco-Drive Weekender Nighthawk Chronograph Watch in Black IP Stainless Steel, Black Dial (Model: CA0295-58E)

Great watch looks great and is very durable

I needed a new watch but I’m pretty selective. I looked at a lot of different colors, options and styles before I decided I really like the blackout style. That’s only the beginning, now that I had the color and style, I had to choose a brand, my necessary options and the right ‘look’ for my tastes. I checked out watches from $25-$2k.This watch fits all of my criteria but one.I needed more than ‘splash resistance’ some watches have. They might look good but I don’t want humidity or a light sprinkling rain ruining a watch. This watch is good enough to swim and snorkel with.I wanted stainless steel or titanium and this watch is stainless steel, black.I didn’t want a ‘light’ or different colored hands, I wanted black. This one is, ALL BLACK. The hands do have some luminescence to them, just enough to make out the time when you wake up at night groggy. Perfect.I looked at a lot of brands and chose Citizen and the Eco-drive for their reviews and customer satisfaction. The only thing I would think should be upgraded is the crystal to sapphire. Lacking that, the watch is one step from perfect.I set the time upon arrival and removed some links from the band and I’m extremely satisfied. I’d recommend this watch. It looks good, functions properly and fits my character.

I am a collector of black watches, this nighthawk is amazing. The stock picture does not do it justice. I am not sure why someone says they cannot tell time on it, I can see it fine. The hands and face are a different shade of black, the hands look almost a slightly grayish color (visible in stock pic) and also illuminate in green after being in the sun. The eco-drive technology has not let me down yet.I have another black ion plated Citizen watch (AR3015-53E) and the black easily scratches off of it even from just wearing it and writing with the same hand, Citizen has improved that and it is not the case anymore. I have been wearing this watch daily and not one scuff has showed up even after a few dings here and there.I especially like the sub-dial at the 9 o'clock position that points to whether it is noon or midnight, as if it were always night and I couldn't tell! Really nice touch. This watch gets complimented often. Would recommend this watch, especially from Amazon. I pre-ordered and was guaranteed the price and know it's authentic. Saw this watch at a local department store and it was 150$ more. Thanks Amazon!

Can not see in the dark hands do not light up so you can’t tell time in the dark

This watch is amazing. I have wanted this watch since I was a sophomore in college. After graduation I picked it up for a great price and wear it out everyday (including work). My biggest concern with this watch was the black finish on the band wearing down or scratching easily. I am an IT Professional that is constantly working on computer components and typing away at my desk. I have not had any issues with band wear yet (2 months).The stealthy all black characteristic of this watch will catch eyes more often than you would think. I have had conversations with people where they are constantly looking at my wrist (meetings especially). I have gotten a handful of compliments on the watch within the first few months of use (my boss loves it).Overall I am very satisfied with the size, weight, look, and durability of this watch. One of my best purchases.

I am not a watch person. With the advent of personal phones that display the time, I gave up on my biennial purchase of a new Timex. Having the time available on my phone, which is always with me, made owning and wearing watches obsolete... Or so I thought. Being a self-avowed techno geek, I am always intrigued when a functional item catches my eye. While perusing a watch catalog with a friend, explaining why I would no longer buy a watch, much less one that cost over a hundred dollars, I came across this Citizen. Stylish, functional, eco-friendly. I was hooked. The only thing I think I should mention is that this elegant timepiece is a bit difficult to read in the dark, say a theater. That said, I love it!

i haven't bought many expensive watches before especially online, but i saw the photos of this Citizens "NightHawk" and fell in love with the looks of the watch. I took a chance on the Citizen name and Amazon who has rarely let me down! Well the watch has arrived and it came earlier than it was supposed to which was a pleasant surprise and so is the NightHawk!It is even more handsome than the pictures for they did not do it justice!! Granted the darkness of the face doesn't lend itself to being read in low light enviroments however the stylishness and elegance of the design of the watch more than makes up for that one and only short coming. It weight is noticable but not to heavy like a nice large diamond, one notices that its there but one doesn't mind the feeling!I am very please with my decision to purchase this watch and I am sure should you make the same decision to purchase the NightHawk you won't regret you choice it's a really cool and sexy watch !

It is impossible to tell time without bright light . The watch does not glow , so at night it’s a bracelet. If it had indigos or if the glowing handles glowed it would be awesome . However it is a watch that can’t tell you time . You do the math .
