FAQs
Do I ever need to change the battery?
No, the Citizen Eco-Drive technology is powered by light, so you will never need to replace the battery.
How long does the charge last without light?
A fully charged Eco-Drive watch can run for several months in complete darkness, depending on the specific model's power reserve.
What is the water resistance rating for this watch?
This watch typically has a water resistance rating suitable for everyday splashes and rain. Please refer to the product specifications for the exact rating (e.g., 50 meters or 100 meters) and its limitations.
Can I wear this watch while swimming?
Depending on the specific water resistance rating, you may be able to wear it for swimming. However, it is generally not recommended for diving or activities involving high-velocity water. Always check the official specifications.
How do I clean the leather strap?
Gently wipe the leather strap with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher marks, use a slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry completely. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.
What if the watch stops working after being in the dark for a while?
If the watch stops, it simply needs to be recharged. Place it in a well-lit area, preferably sunlight, for several hours. It should resume operation once it has sufficient power.
Where can I get the watch serviced or repaired?
For servicing or repairs, it is recommended to contact Citizen authorized service centers or a reputable watchmaker to ensure quality work, especially for the Eco-Drive movement.
Troubleshooting
Watch has stopped or is losing time.
The watch is likely low on power. Expose it to a light source (sunlight is best) for at least a few hours to recharge the Eco-Drive cell. If the issue persists after a full charge, contact customer support.
Date is not changing correctly.
Ensure the time is set correctly, paying attention to AM/PM to avoid the date changing at noon instead of midnight. Consult the user manual for detailed instructions on setting the date.
Strap is uncomfortable or damaged.
Leather straps can be softened with wear or by using a leather conditioner. If damaged, replace the strap with one of the appropriate size for the watch.
Watch fogs up internally.
This may indicate that the water-resistant seal has been compromised. Avoid exposing the watch to moisture and have it inspected by a qualified watchmaker.
