Eco Drive watches from Citizens are unlike most other types of watches. Unlike the majority of other watches, these watches run primarily on power produced by sun exposure.

Citizen NaviTach: Types of Quartz Movements: Resizing Metal Link Bracelets: Seiko Diver's Watch: Watch Setting Instructions: Replacing Watch Batteries: Citizen Elegance Multi Chronograph: Watch Battery Cross Reference: Inside a Quartz Watch: Citizen Titanium World Time Chronograph: Using the Compass Ring on a wristwatch: Removing. CITIZEN QUARTZ NAVIHAWK Model No. JNOXXX Caliber No. C300. INSTRUCTION MANUAL CTZ-D6758 This combination watch can display the time in 30 cities of the world with a simple operation. In addition to the time displayed in the analog section, the times in 30 cities can be displayed in analog and digital can easily be switched. For 2013, Citizen watches remakes the famed Altichron that originally showed its face (no pun intended) in 1989. A mere comparison of the 2013 versus the 1989 model shows just how far Japanese watch brands (as well as the overall timepiece industry) has come. 24 years after its original debut, the new Altichron has some new tricks for sure, but looks much more visually stunning. Citizen Men's watch JQ8020-52Y ( JQ8020 )Put the Navitach Racing Chronograph to the test. Bold modern time piece features the time and date for 22 different world time zones. Sleek contemporary lines are in brushed and polished steel.

Initial Impressions.
The watch was received in Citizen's Promaster packaging with a very attractive black leatherette covered cylinder enclosing the watch all packed in a matching cardboard box. Contained in the box were an instruction manual written in 3 languages and a warranty card. The packaging is excellent and often used in jewelry stores to display these watches. In the box was the watch with 2 tags attached and scratch protection plastic on the front and rear of the watch. One of the tags stated 'For Professional Use Only', I sure hope I qualify !

I removed the watch from the box and inspected it for scratches and defects. As is usual for this manufacturer none were found.

I checked the bezel and found it to be very smooth and somewhat 'notchy' as it is turned. The lack of a marker at the zero position makes it a little difficult to use for raw timing since you have to line up the number '60' with the desired hand.

Comfort
The watch sits perfectly on my wrist with no side to side movement. The strap can be adjusted to fit most wrists and has 8 holes spaced about 5/16' apart. No sharp edges which might catch on clothing were observed on this watch.

Legibility
I bought this watch based upon the agency 'beauty shots' in the Citizen brochure. It appeared quite readable in those pictures, but in real life, legibility (both analog and digital) is in my opinion, poor.
The problem with the digital display is that it is a reverse LCD, and unlike other displays of this type the characters are dark, almost Grey-Green instead of Silver. The picture of the front of the watch was taken in full midday sunlight and you can see the lack of contrast.
When the display is illuminated at night it is very readable. This is good since you cannot see the hands at night. The illumination does not work in Chrono or Timer mode since the button used to illuminate is the Stop/Reset button for both these functions.
The analog hands are quite thin and Citizen decided to skeletonize them (as on the Navihawk models) so that portions of the display can show through the hands. The lack of surface area on the hands leaves no room for reflective paint so just a couple of dots glow briefly when you enter a dark room after being outside. The markers and numbers glow much brighter and longer than the hands.
Overall legibility of this watch is poor unless you have the perfect eyes of a 12 year old.

Analog Movement
The movement in the Navitach is a plain vanilla quartz movement which is set separately from the digital movement. The second hand does not align with the markers, and when the crown is out for setting the whole movement can be moved in the case.
Overall the movement is OK, for a $20.00 watch.

Accuracy
Both movements are quartz and are quite accurate, but do not stay in synchronization. The analog movement tends to be more accurate than the digital (differing by about 10 sec. in a month).

Closing Thoughts
This is one of those watches that I bought in the heat of passion based on catalog photos. I urge you to see one of these in person to judge legibility before making a decision. For the time being all my race timing needs will be filled by my trusty G-Shock, at least I can read the display on it.
