I'm an Environmental Engineering Student and I also currently own an Omega Speedmaster ($2100 graduation gift long ago) and a Titanium Pro-Trek Casio Triple Sensor Watch (Compass, Altimeter & Temperature $295.00) that I used for my previous job as an outdoors wilderness instructor. Both those watches are extreme (the Casio being too rugged, big and bulky the Omega being very freaking expensive) for everyday use and wanted something that suited my keen personality, short budget and modern taste. I never liked anything in terms of jewelry or watches from department stores or malls, but when I walked into MACY's during Christmas shopping last december at the local mall I saw these Eco-Drive watches for the first time. It has always been my opinion that Citizen makes very old fashioned timepieces, yet the Nighthawk Eco-Drive is very different and far more classy than any other...Read more 41 of 42 people found the following review helpful: By Alexys (Anchorage, AK) - See all my reviews This review is from: Citizen Men's BJ7000-52E Eco-Drive Nighthawk Stainless Steel Watch (Watch) Great watch:
looks great--I get a lot of comments doesn't need a battery fantastic layout--a lot of info at a glance: date, local & zulu times luminous hands slide rule easy to use and numbers won't rub out (like on external bezel ring slide rules) However, for serious aviators: no stopwatch! You will want a stopwatch to go with the slide rule for basic dead reckoning you'll need another light source to read the slide rule if you're flying at night also, the crown has an occasional tendency to work itself loose and you can lose your time hack if you don't tighten it every couple days The closest I've seen to the elusive "perfect aviator's watch" 23 of 24 people found the following review helpful: By Watch This (NH USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Citizen Men's BJ7000-52E Eco-Drive Nighthawk Stainless Steel Watch (Watch) This is the first Citizen brand watch I've ever bought, and so far, it's as good or better quality than more expensive TAGs I've owned. About the only thing missing (aside from a stopwatch, as noted earlier - but that's debatable if you're not a serious aviator) is a sapphire crystal, which would probably prevent scratches a little better than the standard mineral crystal. For this price, though, I'm not complaining. I like the layout, the overall appearance and something else nobody mentioned - the band clasp is a very smart design. Not only does it have something similar to the Rolex "Flip-Lock" clasp, but the main clasp has what can best be described as a squeeze lock, which must be pressed together from the sides of the band to release it from the wrist. This thing isn't coming off accidentally. I got the stainless version, but there is a titanium one available as well as an all-black version. The all black version looked kinda cheap and the titanium...Read more |
