**Important Note**
I really enjoy watches and that's why I started this channel so I could review them regularly but my satisfaction is not found in owning or experiencing watches, no matter how many I may accumulate or how luxurious and expensive they may be . . .
Wise King Solomon said in Ecclesiastes 5:10 "He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity."
The truth is, material possessions of any kind, money, power, etc. never can and never will satisfy our hungering souls. Only knowing, loving, and serving God can truly satisfy.
The only way we can have a real relationship with God, the Creator of the Universe, is through the Lord Jesus Christ, the sinless Son of God.
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 14:6
Through Christ's sacrificial death on the cross, for my sins and your sins, and His resurrection from the dead we can have peace with God (Romans 5:1), forgiveness of sins (Acts 10:43), eternal life (John 3:16), and so much more!
In Christ, we can know true joy now and for all eternity.
"He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life." - 1 John 5:12

My son and I both have the Old Nighthawk. Both of us love our watches. His has sentimental value for him as they both survived an aircraft crash together in the military and both survived battered but alive.
Great vid! Thanks. Hoping for more terrific duels
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed!
Great comparison! I like the old one more. I have the Blue Angels version but also want to pick up the original one while they are still available. The original bracelet is awesome.
Thanks for watching!
Nice green-ish nature background bro 😁😁
Good video
Thanks my friend!
I don't mind the new one at all but I definitely go with the older if I had to pick too.
Thanks for watching Bob!
Much prefer the old nighthawk. somehow they've managed to make the new one more busy. and IMO applied indices > painted in general Great vid!!!!
Thanks for watching my friend! I think I can agree with what you said about applied indices!
Au contraire!!! The new one is far less busy
secret specs: the slide rule crown is actually better for lefties! learned how to use the circular slide rule, comes in super handy when calculating tips, splitting bills, converting currency! still can use the arrow as a timer so definitely beats a diver’s bezel. wish they did more colors besides blue angels.
Classic example where you simply shoudn't touch something that is already perfect. The "old" Nighthawk is so timeless and originally designed, they will never make a watch like that again.
I prefer the old. The strap on the new is really nice though. I’d like a Nighhawk in my collection one day. Such great watches.
Appreciate you watching and commenting my friend!
Hello Josh. Terrific video my friend, I absolutely love these head to head comparison matches 👍 And I also prefer the old version, which I landed in Amazon via your link and it is in fact on sale for $211.61. Oh my, that's indeed a steel. It is in my basket as I try so bad to be good and stop buying watches for a while... I can hear the good vs evil whispers in the back of my ears...ahhhh 😇👿
😅😂🤣 Thanks for watching my friend! If you've never owned a Nighthawk you definitely have to at some point! If you don't mind used, I'm planning to sell my original version from the video. Email me if you're interested and we can talk about it!
@@TheTownWatch Hello Josh...thank you, and absolutely I will send you an email 📧 👍
My pick is the original. 👍😀
Thanks for watching Greg!
I agree the Red and black are more attractive, but I understand why they went to yellow for more contrast. The Nighthawk GMT feature is great and super slick with the airplane hands and half arc scale. I like the old version also.
Interesting, I and no idea there was an updated version.
Glad to let you know! Thanks for watching!
Love my new old one. Just got it last week. Great watch and the original bracelet is even better than that mesh one you had on it.
Glad you like it! Enjoy! The mesh bracelet on mine was original to the watch. They made some with the mesh bracelet and some with the other bracelet. Thanks for watching.
I like my original Nighthawk. I did replace the crystal to double domed sapphire.
Nice! Thanks for watching!
How much did that cost??
Greetings from Germany. Waiting for my CB0245-84E. When wearing the (two) watches on the left wrist, is the newer model better when you want to turn the crown of the inner bezel with the right hand? Please excuse my bad English.
Thanks for watching and commenting. It's hard to say which one is easier in that respect. I think the old version might be slightly easier.
Wish you could measure the crystal. I know they make one for the old one, but the new one looks great and would be nice to see if it can be upgraded.
Thanks for watching! Unfortunately I don't have either of these watches any more!
Older wins for me great comparison. Thanks
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed!
I like the more flieger styling of the new however I do like the raised look of the old dial
They're both a little busy for me but nothing to choose between them except the second crown , looks much better positioned on the original
No doubt about that! Thanks for watching!
The new one is nice but they gussied it up a bit too much for what it is. The original maintains a more rugged, industrial look. My original Nighthawk came on the bracelet. Nice quality, fully milled. Seiko really needs to take notice 😁. For the price, the original is a steal. Great video Josh. Did yours come on the mesh?
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts! Yes mine did come on a mesh actually, it's since been discontinued on the mesh bracelet.
@@TheTownWatch It looks great on the mesh. 🔥🔥🔥
I like the instrumental guitar music in the background. Very soothing.
Glad you enjoyed!
I like the old one more. I think to order one. However i can't decide between the black version and the blue angels. Unfortunatelly i will never see them alive before buy.
Thanks for watching! Those are both cool versions!
I have the Blue Angels version of the old one. Blue dial with yellow accents. Totally love it, and agree with you on all points. The old one would be perfect for me if it had the new ones 12 o'cock arrow instead of the 12
Thanks for watching! That Blue Angels version is a nice one!
Hi, where did you get the strap of the old nighthawk ?
Why doesn't the small arrow in the middle indicate the same time as the main hands of the watch?
I prefer the new dial more. I don’t know why the crown for the new version needs to be downgraded. No screw down crown is a big turn off for a sporty watch
Thanks for watching and good thoughts!
I just wish I found this video last year. My only option now seems to be the new one, though in my eyes,the new one still looks good, especially the overall case design, and the lug geometry is very pleasing to my eyes. I also like the Arabic numerals on the new one. Either way, this video still convinced me to get the new model. Still searching for the old model though.
Great video btw
Thanks for watching!
I just bought the original because I like the look. I think that the new version actually has the better bezel crown because you can operate it easier if you are wearing the watch. I think that may be the reason it is located where it is on the newer version. Also perhaps the crown moves less easily inadvertently? I know that was a complaint i've heard the original has.
I like the new Nighthawk, however few things I would change before I buy one are: do away w the second crown and just use the bezel to rotate the outer dial inside. Also, Citizen needs to start using quick release bracelets and screw in pins, vs the crappy ones that come w the watch. Also, maybe throw in a strap w a quick release. One last thing, improve on the lume. I have the older one, and while it's a great watch and I love it...there are times it is hard to see.
Thanks for watching and for the comment!
I prefer the old one and I have the blue Angels edition. I know I have three blue angel edition Citizen models. Including the original C650 Skyhawk(Early 2000s release and found it in mint condition). If they release this one in a blue Angels edition I won’t be able to resist getting it though😉 I really wish they would put sapphire crystal on these… And the mineral crystal just scratches very easily and it’s elevated above the bezel So it’s unprotected. Thanks for the great comparison!
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed! Those Blue Angels editions are cool!
old one is the best made way better
No contest, only the old one has the time/speed scale (1:10, 1:20 ... 9:00)
I like the new looks more like a pilot watch and not an over busy face like the original
Thanks for watching!
Both are great watches, but the date window is too small
Thanks for watching and commenting!
i have the yellow dial with the steel bracelet -- very nice watch
Very nice! Thanks for watching!
They booth look good to me. And i want 1
😁 Thanks for watching!
I pretty much agreed with you on almost everything. The only thing I like on the new nighthawk is the location of the inner bezels crown which would be easier to manipulate while it’s being worn. Other than that, the old one is better.
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts my friend!
You don't like or love *better* - you like or love *more* .
Basic grammar: embrace the subtleties!
Took me a few minutes to decide what dial / face I like better, I like the old due to the color and less numbers, I feel more numbers looks less refined.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Me i prefer the new edition because of the leather strap and bezel. I only wish the slide rule crown was on the other side because i wear my watch on my right hand or have made the bezel rotating . Just my opinion.
The old is my preference
I like the Blue Angels version.
Old for me!
Great choice! Thanks for watching!
This watch is a great everyday watch. I would love to add it if i got rid of others in my collection to make room.
I definitely prefer the old version
Thanks for watching and sharing your pick!
the old one is best any day❣️
Not a fan of the new hands.
They hid the counter balance of the second hand, and changed the swords to twigs
The new one!
Unfortunately as with most sequels it is never as good as the original. so I think Citizen have blown this one🙁
That's true! Thanks for watching my friend!
I think the new one is better, because that is the one I bought.
New for me
New nighthawk gang!
Thanks for watching!
Old !!!!!!
Thanks for watching!
Old one is better looking.
New version looks cheap
Thanks for watching!
