FAQs
How does Citizen's Eco-Drive technology work?
Eco-Drive harnesses any natural or artificial light source and converts it into energy. This energy is stored in a rechargeable power cell, allowing the watch to run continuously without needing a battery change.
What is the water resistance rating, and what activities is it suitable for?
The watch is water resistant to 200 meters. This rating is suitable for professional marine activity and serious surface water sports like swimming and snorkeling. It is not intended for scuba diving.
How long does the power reserve last on a full charge?
Typically, the power reserve can last up to 6 months on a full charge, depending on the specific model and usage.
Does the watch require a battery replacement?
No, the Eco-Drive technology eliminates the need for traditional battery replacements. It uses a rechargeable power cell that is replenished by light.
What is the warranty period?
This Citizen watch comes with a 5-year Citizen UK warranty.
Can I adjust the watch bracelet myself?
While minor adjustments might be possible, it is recommended to have the bracelet adjusted by a professional jeweler to prevent damage to the ion-plated finish.
Is the tribal pattern design printed on or part of the dial material?
The Wakandan-inspired tribal pattern is a design printed on the black dial, complementing the sharp silver-tone indices.
Troubleshooting
Watch has stopped or the second hand is jumping in two-second intervals.
The power reserve is low. Expose the watch to a bright light source for at least 8 hours to fully charge the rechargeable power cell.
The date is not changing correctly.
Ensure the time is set correctly, including AM/PM. If the date changed prematurely (e.g., at noon instead of midnight), you may need to cycle the hour hand through a full 12-hour period to correct it.
Scratches on the ion-plated finish.
Ion plating is durable but can be scratched. Avoid abrasive contact and clean gently. Minor scratches may be difficult to remove; consult a professional watchmaker for repair options.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup: The watch typically arrives with a partially charged power cell. To ensure optimal performance, expose the watch to light (natural or artificial) for several hours until the second hand moves continuously. If the second hand stops, it indicates the power cell needs charging.
Compatibility: This is a standalone timepiece and does not require connection to other devices for its primary function.
Care:
- Cleaning: Clean the watch case and bracelet periodically with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish.
- Charging: To maintain the charge, ensure the watch is regularly exposed to light. If stored for extended periods, place it in a well-lit area.
- Water Resistance: After exposure to salt water or chemicals, rinse the watch with fresh water and dry thoroughly. Periodically check the crown and case back to ensure they are properly sealed.
- Strap Maintenance: If the bracelet requires adjustment, it is recommended to have this done by a professional jeweler to avoid scratching the ion-plated finish.
