FAQs
How long does the charge last on the Citizen Terra Force?
When fully charged, the Eco-Drive movement can run for approximately 6 months in darkness. However, regular exposure to light will keep it powered indefinitely.
Do I need to change the battery?
No, the Eco-Drive technology means the watch is powered by light and does not require traditional battery replacements. The rechargeable power cell is designed to last for many years.
What does '100 meters water resistance' mean?
It means the watch is suitable for swimming and snorkeling. It can withstand pressure equivalent to 100 meters underwater. However, it is not recommended for scuba diving or prolonged submersion under high pressure.
How do I clean the stainless steel bracelet?
Use a soft, damp cloth. For dirtier bracelets, a mild soap and water solution can be used, followed by thorough rinsing and drying with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive materials.
Can I wear this watch while showering?
Yes, the 100m water resistance makes it safe to wear while showering. However, avoid exposure to harsh soaps and high-pressure water streams, which could compromise seals over time.
Is the green dial color vibrant in all lighting conditions?
The green dial is designed to be clear and readable. Its vibrancy can vary slightly depending on the lighting, but the white Arabic numerals and luminous hands ensure legibility.
What is the warranty period for this watch?
Citizen typically offers a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the warranty documentation included with your watch for specific terms and duration, which is often 5 years for the movement and 1 year for the power cell.
Troubleshooting
Watch has stopped running or is losing time.
The watch may need to be charged. Expose it to a strong light source for at least 8 hours. If the issue persists after charging, ensure the crown is fully pushed in. Contact customer support if problems continue.
Date is not changing correctly.
Ensure the watch is not set between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this is when the date change mechanism is engaged and can be damaged if the time is adjusted manually. Reset the time and date outside of these hours.
Condensation under the crystal.
This indicates a potential breach in water resistance. Avoid further exposure to water and have the watch inspected by a qualified watchmaker or Citizen service center immediately.
Luminous hands are not glowing brightly.
The luminous material needs to be 'charged' by exposure to light. Place the watch under a bright light for a few minutes. The glow will naturally fade over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Clean the stainless steel case and bracelet with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals. For tougher grime, a mild soap can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water and thorough drying.
- Avoid Magnetic Fields: Keep the watch away from strong magnetic fields, which can affect its accuracy.
- Crown and Pushers: Ensure the crown is fully pushed in to maintain water resistance. Do not operate the crown or any pushers underwater.
