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.
