FAQs
How does Citizen's Eco-Drive technology work?
Eco-Drive converts light energy into electrical energy, which is stored in a rechargeable power cell. This cell drives the watch's movement, eliminating the need for traditional battery replacements. The watch can store enough power to run for several months in complete darkness.
What does 100M water resistance mean for this watch?
A 100-meter water resistance rating means the watch is suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and other water activities. However, it is not recommended for scuba diving or high-pressure water activities. Always ensure the crown is pushed in before exposure to water.
Can I wear this watch while showering?
Yes, the 100M water resistance rating generally allows for wear during showering. However, it's best to avoid prolonged exposure to hot water and soaps, as these can potentially degrade the seals over time. Rinse with fresh water and dry afterward.
How often do I need to charge the watch?
You do not need to charge it regularly in the same way you would a rechargeable electronic device. Simply wearing the watch and exposing it to ambient light (indoor or outdoor) is usually sufficient to keep it powered. It can run for months on a full charge even in the dark.
Is the green dial always visible?
The green dial has a textured finish that adds depth and visual interest. Its visibility will depend on lighting conditions, but the crystal glass provides a clear view. The markers and hands are designed for contrast to ensure readability.
What is the warranty period for this Citizen watch?
Citizen watches typically come with a limited warranty that covers manufacturing defects. The exact duration can vary by region, but it is often around 5 years for the movement, with 1 year for the battery (for battery-powered models) or power cell (for Eco-Drive models). Please refer to the warranty card included with your purchase for specific details.
Troubleshooting
Watch has stopped or the second hand moves in two-second intervals.
The watch's power reserve is low. Expose the watch to a bright light source for several hours to recharge the Eco-Drive movement. Ensure the crown is pushed in.
Chronograph subdials are not resetting to the 12 o'clock position.
The chronograph may need to be reset manually. Pull the crown out to the first click. Press the bottom pusher (B) repeatedly until the subdials align correctly at zero. Push the crown back in.
Difficulty adjusting the time or date.
Ensure the crown is pulled out to the correct position. Pull it to the first click for the date and to the second click for the time. Do not attempt to change the date while the time is between 9 PM and 1 AM, as this can damage the movement.
Strap adjustment is uncomfortable or difficult.
For stainless steel bracelets, it is recommended to visit a professional jeweler or watch repair shop for precise sizing. Attempting to adjust it yourself without proper tools can damage the links.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Initial Charging: Upon receiving the watch, ensure it is exposed to sufficient light (natural or artificial) for at least a few hours to fully charge the power reserve. The second hand may move in two-second intervals if the power is low, indicating it needs charging.
- Time Setting: Pull the crown out to the correct position and set the time and date. Push the crown back in to start the watch.
- Chronograph Operation: To use the chronograph, press the top pusher (A) to start/stop and the bottom pusher (B) to reset. Ensure the subdials reset to the 12 o'clock position.
Compatibility:
- This is a standalone analog watch and does not require connection to other devices for its primary functions.
- The stainless steel strap is adjustable; professional resizing may be required for a perfect fit.
Care:
- Cleaning: Clean the watch case and bracelet with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For stubborn dirt on the bracelet, a soft-bristled toothbrush can be used with mild soap and water, followed by thorough rinsing and drying.
- Water Resistance: After exposure to saltwater or chemicals (like chlorine in pools), rinse the watch with fresh water and dry it thoroughly. Ensure the crown is pushed in fully before exposing it to water.
- Charging: Regularly expose the watch to light. While it stores power for months in darkness, consistent light exposure ensures optimal performance and longevity of the movement.
