Citizen Nighthawk - NATO or bracelet?
This baby (BJ7000) has officially been discontinued, so I quickly snatched one from Jomashop. The stock bracelet is very nice, lightweight and comfortable, but a NATO with matching colors is always a fun option.
I know it's all about personal preference, but just for the sake of having some collective fun:
I'm hereby asking the jury for a verdict: which one looks better, the NATO or the stock bracelet?

In my opinion the bracelt is a better fit - but as you already said: its a personal preference
I think that the bond nato really works with that citizen but its all up to you my friend
My vote is for NATO, from those two choices, but would suggest a leather strap as I think most watches do look better on a leather strap.
I am a bracelet guy on this one - but I may be an outlier - a cool leather nato could look good too
Bracelet. I could never find a strap that looked right to me with that angular case. And it's quite a nice bracelet.

Yes, the bracelet is very nice and the links have a very special shape!
I vote bracelet.
The nato strap is a little too busy for me. Maybe if the strap was a solid color it would be better. I feel like that strap draws all the attention and I'd want the attention to be on the dial of the watch.
Personally, I would choose the bracelet, and it’s not very close.

Yes, the dial is already busy and it's better complimented by a simple strap or bracelet.
It looks at home on a NATO strap, in my opinion, but the original bracelet is nice too.
I prefer the bracelet to that particular NATO. I think a NATO might be a good option, but I would pick one less colorful than that. I see you picked out colors from the dial, but the dial is mostly black with a tiny bit of color while that strap is pretty colorful.
For me decently the bracelet for its unique style. Kind of looks like a more massive Rolex president bracelet with a taper and fits the rugged style of the watch nicely.
I feel your pain. On the one hand, the Nighthawk bracelet is so distinctive that it begs to be put on the watch. On the other hand, there’s something about the case shape that makes the Nighthawk incredibly comfortable on a NATO…
… so I did what any (in)sane person would do and got 2 Nighthawks. 🤣

Nice 👍 I also have the same Haveston strap 😀
They both look so good, maybe the NATO wins by a hair? I like this watch, kind of reminds me of a roulette table.
I like the bracelet.
The bracelets on Citizen are usually OK but can be flimsy in the clasp department. I have six various Citizen models and they all spend plenty of time on a Nato. You can change up the look in thirty seconds to suit mood/occasion etc. Normally less than twenty quid each - absolute winner. Your Citizen looks the dogs diddler on the Nato.
