FAQs
Does this watch need a battery replacement?
No, the Citizen Terra Force watch features Eco-Drive technology, which is powered by light. It converts light into electrical energy, eliminating the need for traditional battery changes.
How long does the watch run on a full charge?
Once fully charged, the Eco-Drive watch can run for approximately 6 months in darkness, depending on the specific model and power reserve capabilities. Regular exposure to light ensures continuous operation.
Can I swim with this watch?
Yes, the watch is water-resistant up to 100 meters (10 bar), making it suitable for swimming and showering. However, it is not recommended for deep-sea diving or high-velocity water sports.
How do I clean the leather strap?
Gently wipe the strap with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For deeper cleaning or conditioning, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner, applying sparingly. Avoid saturating the leather.
What is the lug width for strap replacement?
The lug width for the Citizen Terra Force AW1890-19B is typically 22mm, which is a standard size for many aftermarket watch straps.
Is the watch suitable for formal occasions?
While inspired by field watches and designed for utility, its clean design and silver-tone finish can complement smart-casual attire. For very formal events, a dress watch might be more appropriate.
How do I adjust the watch band?
The leather strap is typically adjusted using the buckle holes. For other strap types (if applicable), adjust using the buckle or deployant clasp. Instructions for specific clasp types may vary.
Troubleshooting
Watch has stopped or the second hand is not moving.
The watch may have run out of power. Expose it to a strong light source (sunlight or bright artificial light) for several hours to recharge the Eco-Drive battery. Ensure it is not stored in complete darkness for prolonged periods.
Difficulty setting the time or date.
Pull the crown out to the first position to set the date (usually by rotating counter-clockwise or clockwise depending on the model, consult the specific manual if unsure). Pull the crown to the second position to set the time. Ensure the crown is fully pushed back in after setting.
Leather strap shows signs of wear or stiffness.
Use a leather conditioner specifically designed for watch straps. Apply a small amount and gently rub it in. Avoid over-conditioning, which can make the leather too soft. Allow it to dry naturally.
Condensation under the crystal.
This could indicate a breach in water resistance. Avoid further exposure to water and have the watch inspected by an authorized service center to check the seals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
The Citizen Terra Force watch is powered by Citizen's Eco-Drive technology, which means it does not require a conventional battery. Upon receiving the watch, if it has been stored in darkness, it may require initial charging. Place the watch in direct sunlight or under a strong artificial light source for several hours until the second hand begins to move. Subsequently, wearing the watch regularly or exposing it to light will keep it powered.
Compatibility:
This watch is a standalone timekeeping device and does not have electronic compatibility requirements with other devices.
Care:
- Cleaning: Clean the case and crystal with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals. For the leather strap, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner sparingly to maintain its condition. Avoid prolonged exposure of the leather strap to water.
- Strap Care: To prolong the life of the leather strap, avoid getting it excessively wet and allow it to dry naturally if it becomes damp. Consider periodic conditioning.
- Water Resistance: While rated at 100m, it's advisable to rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to saltwater or chlorine. Ensure the crown is pushed in or screwed down before any water exposure to maintain water resistance.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the watch in a well-lit area to maintain its charge. Avoid storing it in complete darkness for too long.
