What does 'Radio-Controlled Atomic Clock Timekeeping' mean?

How do I set the World Time function?
You can set the World Time by rotating the crown to select the desired city code and then pressing a specific button to set it as your current location's time.

Troubleshooting
Watch not synchronizing with atomic signal
Ensure the watch is in an area with good signal reception (near a window, away from electronic interference). Check that the correct Home City is set and that the watch has sufficient charge. Try initiating a manual reception.
Second hand is not moving
The watch may be in power-saving mode or the power reserve is low. Expose the watch to sufficient light to charge it. If the issue persists, a manual synchronization may be required.
Incorrect time or date displayed
Perform a manual atomic signal reception. Verify that the correct Home City is selected, as this dictates the time zone and date. Ensure any manual time adjustments are cleared before attempting synchronization.
Strap feels loose or tight
The titanium bracelet may have removable links. Consult the user manual for instructions on how to adjust the bracelet length or seek assistance from an authorized Citizen service center.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup:
- Ensure the watch is sufficiently charged by exposing it to light.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Clean the titanium case and bracelet with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Charging: Regularly expose the watch to light. While Eco-Drive is efficient, prolonged darkness can deplete the power reserve. Store in a well-lit area when not in use.
