+1 I love mine
I've got the Skyhawk and it is the best watch I've ever had.
I've only had mine for 10 years so I'll let you know.
i have a nighthawk as my semi daily watch(forget to put it on some day) for about 3 or 4 years. only dislike i have with it is i don't know how to uses the items on the outer ring.
Love mine. I need to wear it more often. Dependable, durable, and a good looker!

After 7 years of use by me, (4 years old when I got it) the capacitor finally gave out. Dropped it off yesterday, pleasantly surprised when the jeweler told me a new capacitor, installed would be $35 total.
To you long term owners: have you ever had the replace the battery? I understand that it is rechargable but I am just curious.
Thanx!!!

This time last year, I noticed that the second hand was jumping ahead periodically after "freezing" for a second or two. Since this watch was a 5th anniversary present from my wife, I decided to see about getting it repaired and contacted an authorized Citizen repair center in the Dallas area. The gentleman with whom I spoke immediately recognized the issue and explained that the battery in the watch does wear out eventually, usually somewhere around 10 years. I dropped the watch off and picked it up a couple of days later, and it's been running like the champ it is. I think the total cost was around $45 or so. They even checked the band, cleaned everything, and then pressure-tested it to ensure its water resistance was intact after the battery change.
Yes, sir...definitely worth it.
