CitizenEco Drive Navihawk Black Dial SS Chrono Quartz Men's Watch JY8030-83E

I was nervous to make such a large purchase on Amazon, but it was exactly what I thought I was getting. Beautiful watch and definitely worth it! Never needs a battery, very durable, larger sized watch (but exactly what I wanted), and very bright and shiny.

It’s an absolute must for any active man! Very classy look!

The watch looks space age and very well constructed. With a serious technical look and appearance.From a neg. aspect it was very difficult to read the lighted windows. The reset and setup was quite a long adventure to store in my memory. My major factor was weight and this watch is large a a bit heavy for my liking.It is perfect for international travel. It updates the watch and charges with light. But you must set it for Daylight savings times. Not that Im lazy, its just input. The watch is also discontinued.If like stainless and fly planes, this watch is perfect. Or a larger watch and solid, its great.

The media could not be loaded. Only review i can give is, JUST BUY IT! YOU WONT REGRET IT! Comed with warranty after registering the serial in the app. Planning on buying the skyhawk on blackfriday or cybermonday.. bought it on primeday and im really happy!!

This is an excellent buy, especially on Amazon, Macy's was selling it for $725.00! (though it's now on sale for $580.00 on their site.) The watch can be quite confusing with its abundance of features and busy dial. Luckily, I like that for an aviation watch, but people with average and below average vision may hate it. The print is quite small. If you read the manual and search online, eventually you will learn how to set the alarms, choose different time zones, receive a signal and more. Setting NYC seems impossible though, it never comes up when setting the zone, but comes up when using other features. The watch is very durable, I managed to drop it on granite from about 5+ feet and it continued working without any issue. One side of the lug did get banged up, but it's not very noticeable. The finish on the watch is excellent with brushed lugs and sides. The coin bezel surrounds a polished surface. Citizen seems to finish better on models at this price range compared to Seiko. The pull-out crown is signed with an etched surfaced all around. The crown for the internal compass is similar, while the two surrounding buttons are polished and shaped like something out of an aircraft. The aircraft theme continues to the dial and sub-dials which look like gauges. The radio controlled time seems to work on and off. Sometimes I get a signal, other times I don't. Atmospheric conditions will contribute to signal attenuation. Regardless, it manages to keep accurate time often enough without having to set the time manually. It worked well during day light savings. I really like the battery indicator, I think it's essential with a watch as functional as the Navihawk.Some of the small drawbacks for me would be the lume, bracelet, and unusual lug width. When the watch is not exposed to high amounts of natural or artificial light, the lume is quite poor. I know this is often the case with many watches, but some of Seiko's divers illuminate much more at a fraction of the cost. This doesn't mean you wont be able to read the watch in dark conditions, the lume should be adequate, which matters the most. The LED backlight for the digital windows isn't vibrant either. Again, it will be legible at night, but Casio watches have much better backlights despite being significantly cheaper. ** The picture I attached with the watch illuminated is when it was exposed to LED light. This keeps the treated hands and indices charged for a short time ** The bracelet looks great, and it will attract a-lot of attention, but it can be uncomfortable. The underside of the clasp feels like its digging into your skin. Unfortunately the lug width is an awkward 23mm, so it will be a difficult task to find straps and other bracelets that fit properly. I have three leather straps which are 22mm. They still fit well enough, but the spring bar will be partially visible. If you want a quality leather strap, I suggest Hirsch.Overall, it is surely an excellent aviation watch with an original design. I felt conflicted trying to choose the Seiko Flightmaster, which resembles the Breitling Navitimer, or the Navihawk. The Flightmaster is still calling me, but the Navihawk has too many strengths over the competition: Radio-Controlled time, solar powered eco drive, digital LED display with multiple time zones and backlight, and an internal compass. There are things I still need to learn with this watch, which keeps it exciting.

Love this watch. Despite my baby-boomer eye-sight,, I love the details of this watch. A lot of complications that are fun to look at, although sometimes I need my 2.5 readers to see. For the most part, I have all the different functions and complications positions memorized. I use this watch a lot and use it to set or adjust all my other watches when needed. As mentioned the alarm is difficult to hear, but I would rarely use it for that reason.The sapphire crystal is nice. I did switch the band to a leather w/ deployment buckle, but may at some point switch to the silver band that came with it. It is nice, but a premium black leather band also works with this watchOther than 2 Breitlings I own, this is the next most pricey watch I have. I have fewer concerns wearing this watch more often. After a quick youtube tutorial and a hour playing with the watch, I was able to use the watch to sync, change secondary time zones, etc.I know a lot of feedback on digital brightness of the small window has been mentioned. 99% of the time I have no issue. In the Texas sunshine, most digital displays get washed out. Office and at home, I have no concerns seeing the digital output.Overall, this is a great watch. Even in a watch rotation of 20+ watches, I still manage to wear this Citizen a couple of times a week. At home, I will wear it on my right wrist, even with another watch on my left. Kind of geeky, but hey, why not.

I love this citizen eco-drive watch. No batteries or winding required. Powered by light. And it looks fantastic

Horrible. I’m a big fan of Bulova and wanted to give Citizen a shot. This watch has scratches on the back and it absolutely did not sync with atomic radio time. No matter where I went. NYC time zone wasn’t available at all. It also came in a different box than EVERY YouTube video I watched about how to set the time. Given how highly reviewed this watch is I must have gotten a bad watch. But it’s left a rotten taste by citizen in my mouth. As Donald Trump would say… PASS.
