I collect watches. I also buy and sell watches on eBay. This Nighthawk beats everything I've owned. Don't get me wrong, I love the mechanical and automatic Swiss watches that I have. I've never liked quartz watches to any great extent. But this Nighthawk has everything. Tough, strong, functional, beautiful: the Nighthawk has it all. And Nighthawk's have Eco-Drive technology. They never need a battery - they run on the power of light. This watch just feels good on your wrist. I really like a titanium Luminox watch that I have for night viewing. I didn't think this Nighthawk would be bright enough to impress me, but I was wrong. Though not as bright as Luminox, it is bright enough to see well even after a complete night of darkness. This is a great watch and for the price it is a steal. I recommend this watch to anyone who likes fine functional watches. A true watch lover's watch.
