FAQs
How often does the Navihawk A-T synchronize its time?
The watch attempts to synchronize automatically overnight. You can also initiate a manual synchronization at any time by pressing and holding the appropriate button, as per the instruction manual.
What is the warranty period for this watch?
This watch typically comes with a 5-year manufacturer's warranty from Citizen UK, covering manufacturing defects.
How do I set the world time for a specific city?
To set the world time, you generally need to pull the crown out to the first click and rotate it to select your desired city. The watch will then display the current time for that city.
Can I wear this watch while swimming?
The Navihawk A-T usually has a water resistance rating of 100 meters (10 BAR). This means it is suitable for swimming and snorkeling but not for scuba diving or high-velocity water sports.
What does the power reserve indicator show?
The power reserve indicator shows the remaining energy level stored in the Eco-Drive power cell. It typically ranges from 'L' (Low) to 'F' (Full), indicating how long the watch can run without light exposure.
How do I know if the watch has received a radio signal?
The watch usually has a specific indicator or display mode that shows the result of the last radio signal reception attempt, often indicating 'OK' or the time of the last successful reception.
Troubleshooting
Watch not receiving radio signals
Ensure the watch is placed near a window in an open area, away from electronic interference. Try manual signal reception. If reception issues persist, you may be outside the signal range for your region.
Time is inaccurate
Perform a manual synchronization with the atomic clock signal. Ensure the correct home city is set. If the issue continues, check the power reserve indicator and allow the watch to charge fully.
Eco-Drive not holding charge
Expose the watch to sufficient light for at least 48 hours. If it still does not hold a charge, the rechargeable power cell may need servicing or replacement. Contact an authorized service center.
Chronograph hands not returning to zero
Reset the chronograph function according to the user manual. This often involves pulling the crown out to the second click and adjusting the hands manually, then returning the crown.
