This watch looks much better in person than pictures because it has certainly depth between the bezel and the dials you can't aprecciate in the pictures and it gives a better look to the watch. By other side it matches perfectly with this page description. The only thing I would like to change on this watch is the mineral crystal by a sapphire one. The slide rule, the eco-drive and the dual time function works just fine, the only thing is you can't set two diferent time zones with half of difference between them. For example Caracas, Venezuela (-4,5) and Amsterdam, Berlín (+1) because the minutes for both time zones must be the same.
When I bought this watch some things make me doubt of buying it, the first one was the look of the stainless steel, I didn't want it with a bright finished, in the pictures you can't aprecciate that very well, for my happiness it isn't bright. Second one was that in some reviews people say it is very difficult to set the time, the manual explains how to do it step by step so if you can read you can set the time on this watch and the third one was some people says it is very heavy and that sometime after wearing it, it becomes uncomfortable, it's true it isn't a light weight watch, but I have been wearing it for 10 days without taking it out and it haven't become uncomfortable to me. So if you like titanium watches for sure this one is going to be heavy weight to you but if you are ok with stainless steel watches this one is just great for you. Last one was the case diameter, I was worried it was so big and look ridiculous, actually it's big but it doesn't look ridiculous it looks really great.
It's just a great watch and a good choice if you want a really good watch at prices below some other expensive watches like tag, omega, breitling, etc. This one is for you.

Recently received my stainless Nighthawk, and I thought I'd share some of my "newbie" thoughts.Was watchless for a good period, giving over that niche to my cellphone. Hey it works but.... Prior watch was a citizen analogue/digital from 13 years ago (still works but non-screw back has allowed some of the internal base metals to corrode) The size of this watch is nice and comfortable. I'm large and have no problem foisting a 43mm watch on my wrist. Indeed when I had it sized it worked out that the watch slides just enough up and down my wrist. As noted in other reviews the crown can protrude into the back of the hand, but this minor "slack" prevents this annoyance. I considered getting a analogue digital Skyhawk but the rounded crystal, acces to crown and lack of luminosity of face disuaded me.The crystal on this watch is near 43mm and I would venture to guess the larger crystal makes it more of scratch or damage target than the more diminutive sizes (maybe) time will tell. I do miss some of the digital functions as compared to my previous citizen, but again to a large degree the ever present cell phone fills in these functions and arguably used just as much. I find the E6B slide rule to be great! I'm 57 and my eyes (actually only one has 20.20 corrected and the other cannot discern these gradations) did suffer some strain while using admittedly however I was cramming to learn how to use it and in probably pushed abit. The tipping conversion works great, (sales tax etc too!) Metric vs US measure swtichbacks work great as well. This does harken back to at least a feeling of "manual" labor and a time without batteries. By the way, I grew up not ever using a slide rule, and although the so-called manuals are frightfully devoid of thorough use of the E6B slide rule and quick search on the net (use E6B Flight slide rule as a search base) turned up PDF manuals and the like on use. I cannot however, no matter how good ones sight is, imagine that these would be used while piloting an aircraft. Way to picky for that application! None-the-less I find the E6B nice to have as a fall back (and for the time being I carry a cheat sheet in my wallet for reference) Makes for some good mental excercise away from the PC! The 24 hr function I use to read UTC (have a Grundig Shortwave reciever but I like to know the days begining in my head). Haven't taken any time zone travel since getting my Nighthwak but I imagine soon enough the shakeouts of these applications (combined with minute hand movement without disruption) will make themselves known. Time keeping looks fine so far. Still in the honeymoon phase, and hoping the bond will last............

This watch is sooooo awesome. The thick band and thick casing are very manly; this watch screams masculine.
The black face on stainless body is so classy, it will never go out of style. This watch looks so awesome peering out from under the sleeve of a black or white shirt long sleeve shirt. It's awesome dressed up and casual.
The watch face is very busy with numbers all over the place. It's not just for looks either; you can perform numerous calculations with the outer rotating dial (flight calculator). It's very cool! Very McGyver!
I have never had one problem with this watch, I can't say enough good things about it. Buy it now!
If you are a big person with a big wrist this watch is for you. Not for an Asian wrist like me. I have the stainless belt adjusted down to the last pin, it bearly fits my wrist and it still fell lose, but i like it. Its a heavy watch and big.

This watch is almost impossible to beat for the money. I bought mine from Amazon a year or so ago and the only gripe I have is the crystal. I got a moderate scratch right in the middle of the beauitiful face. It's a shame. Otherwise, it is perfect. I get complements all the time. Just wish it was more scratch resistant...
