Citizen Watch Reviews: Eco-Drive Professional Diver 300M, Nighthawk
Citizen Eco-Drive Professional Diver 300M Watch Review
Citizen is very well known for its Eco-Drive range of watches. The Citizen Eco-Drive Professional Diver 300M (ref # BN0070-09E) is another great example using this light powered technology. One of the first things you will notice about this watch is the wave pattern used on the dial, along with the large lumed indices. The yellow seconds hand, Diver’s 300M, and accent at the 12 o’clock position, add a nice visual contrast to the dial. It has a very soft integrated black rubber diver’s strap that is functional and comfortable.
Now for the information that makes this Eco-Drive watch so impressive: 180 Day Power Reserve, no battery to change (ever!), 300M water resistance, screw-down crown, 44mm case diameter, 13mm thick, 5 Year Original Citizen US Warranty through an Authorized Dealer. All of this makes for one heck of an affordable dive watch.
Pros - Great value, 180 Day Power Reserve, 5 year US warranty from an AD
Consideration - Mineral crystal, integrated strap limits options for change

Citizen Eco-Drive Nighthawk Watch Review
The Nighthawk Stainless Steel watch is another great Eco-Driven watch by Citizen. This is a more traditional pilot watch, there is a slide rule bezel and a GMT function. The inner rotating slide rule is operated by the crown located at the 8 o’clock position, giving the watch a nice balance. There is a nicely sized date window at 3 o’clock and large luminescent hands/markers that compliment the dial. The Nighthawk has an astounding 180 power reserve and is rated to 200m of water resistance. This a lot of watch at a great price point.
Pros - Power Reserve, GMT
Consideration - The dial can be a bit busy at times
