Nice overview of the watch and good demonstration of the slide rule division functionality. I picked up one of these a few months ago and I think the value is amazing at the price. I also picked up the Seiko SNA411 recently. Same category of watch but very different. I wanted to say that I think the Citizen has the Seiko beat on quality. The finish on the Nighthawk is excellent IMO.
Yes I agree, have been really impressed with Citizen every time I have owned one, and I will definitely be up for owning more. It’s an interesting debate (Citizen v seiko). I like both but I do often find the citizens as around the same price feel more solid. Thanks for the kind words re the slide rule. I tried my best 😂
Nice review. I already have the Seiko SNA411 and I love it. I have just bought the Blue Angels Nighthawk second hand and waiting for delivery. I hope I feel the same way as others in the comments. Great looking watch.
Just ordered this watch. So looking forward to it. Had ordered the chronograph at first but then cancelled that because the atomic function doesn't work in my country
@David Johnson If the atomic function doesn’t work in your country, you could always buy Radio Wave Sync or Clock Wave. Both apps cost £1.79 at the moment. There are reviews on UA-cam about Radio Wave Sync and Clock Wave and how they work. Although there are not many reviews with the apps, the reviews that are there are positive and say that the apps work. You might be able to get the watch that you had cancelled, if they work for you. Hope this helps you or anyone else in the same situation… good luck.
I really like this watch, the stock bracelet was a nice surprise. Only thing I don't like is my second hand is a fair way off the markers. Would look nice with a double domed sapphire with a blue ar coating.
@happydogg312 yeah, the cost of a basic flat sapphire for a huge company like Seiko or Citizen would be minuscule. It's something that really takes away from the longevity proposition of a watch for me.
42mm is not that big, think of any gshocks are all over 45mm at least. This watch is a keeper,great lume and great design, applied markers with chrome insert, solar, the bracelet is awesome, one solid watch. I owned the silver bezel/red accent model and sold it ,but i ordered this blue angel from amazon uk for £163
I bought one the other day and have had it outside to charge for 2 days now and the second hands are still moving in 2 second intervals.. Is my watch faulty or does it take a millenium to charge
Should not happen. Was it a new watch ? I have 2 Eco Drives. Both work.perfectly. I use an LED charger($25-Amzn) on them once a year. 6-8hrs to full charge w LED.
Over-tighten watch “crown” might cause symptoms like this. You would like to unscrew the “crown” of the watch make some time&date adjustments if necessary and then when you return it back be sure to not tighten it too much.
The only review of this watch that I found in internet, where the rotation bezel was explained
Loved this watch so much I bought one with the blue and yellow leather strap.
It’s a cool watch.

Both great watches!
I had a bunch of seikos,none were perfect,but citizen is spot on in qc,the finishing of the watch is much superior.
I discovered your channel through Dave Schwartz and subbed. Thanks.
David Schwartz sent me here! Keep up the good work 😊👍
Schwartz Force sent me over! I'm subscribed, keep it up!

Yes it is a cool watch, great value.
@@happydogg312 flipped the citizen about a year ago and picked up a casio oceanus t200, no modding required on that bad boy 😁

David Schwartz directed me here. Subbed 👍
That slide reel bezel always confused me too. Looks cool but I could never figure out how to use it
Jonathan Wickham Maybe that’s why there are so few tutorials on it on UA-cam. No one can figure out how to use it 😂 I’m gonna keep trying.

Yes, in the grand scheme of things not that big, but different strokes for different folks. I have a girl’s wrist so quite big for me 😂
@@TimeandTalk you're fine mate,enjoy your watch 👍🤫
Complex looking watch. Very cool tho
time in the uk yes it’s cool loving it so far.
I bought one the other day and have had it outside to charge for 2 days now and the second hands are still moving in 2 second intervals.. Is my watch faulty or does it take a millenium to charge
It may be faulty. I’ve never heard of that happening before tbh. When mine came it was working as normal.
Should not happen. Was it a new watch ? I have 2 Eco Drives. Both work.perfectly. I use an LED charger($25-Amzn) on them once a year. 6-8hrs to full charge w LED.
It may need a new capacitor battery. It's about 14 bucks on Amazon. I received a Citizen in the same condition, and that was my fix.
It needs a hard reset. My other blue Angel's watch did this after I let the battery drain completely...not good if done repeatedly

Schwartz force in the house! Did you know it’s a great day to wear a watch?
Why does almost almost if not every watch reviewer has some sort of a pocket knife next to the watch while doing the video?
Yes FairPlay me just being a bit of a copy cat here. Just in this case for something to fill the picture.
126 pounds....so cheap nice cathc
