FAQs

How does the Eco-Drive technology work?

Eco-Drive technology converts any light source (sunlight, fluorescent light, etc.) into energy to power the watch. The excess energy is stored in a rechargeable power cell.

How often does the watch need to be charged?

The watch charges automatically when exposed to light. A fully charged watch can operate for months, even in darkness.

Is the watch waterproof?

The watch is water-resistant. Check the watch's case back for the specific water resistance rating. Avoid operating buttons underwater.

How do I set the time zone?

The watch automatically adjusts to the correct time zone through radio signal reception. Manual adjustment instructions are included in the user manual.

What is Super Titanium™?

Super Titanium™ is a proprietary titanium alloy developed by Citizen. It is more durable, scratch-resistant, and lighter than stainless steel.

How do I know when the watch is fully charged?

The watch has a power reserve indicator. When fully charged, the watch will indicate its maximum power reserve.

Where can I find the user manual?

The user manual can be found in the watch packaging or on the Citizen website.
