Nighthawk BJ7000-52E Review

This is my second Eco-Drive, among many other hits, and I am extremely happy with the mark, which shows in particular. The finish is excellent and the weight is balanced for everyday wear: not too heavy so it feels like a brick, but not too light either. The main winning point for me is the cleanliness of the screen. Time is easy to read and feature large luminous markings at night. Although there are many brands on the scale of glasses, they do not affect the overall cleanliness of the face of the watch. The scale can be very useful, but as many have pointed out, the markings are small and difficult to read even for people with perfect vision. I do not consider this a flaw because it was impossible to include this feature and limit the size of the watch to manageable proportions.
A very useful feature for frequent travelers is that the hour hand can be adjusted individually without having to change the minutes. Another useful feature for people doing business in dual time-zone (or expatriates who wish to know the time in their country of origin) is that the watch is dual time. However, the difference in time shows a portion of an hour, half-time to double the hours of field time increments (ie India) can not be preserved.
The size of the watch is bold but not heavy, and is well on smaller wrists like mine. The bj7000-52e is resistant Nighthawk no problem: I surfed, mountain biked and skied with him.
In conclusion, my overall impressions are very positive for the day-to-wear day and more informal occasions. Watch Great, highly recommended.
