FAQs
Does this watch require a battery?
No, the Citizen Series 8 watch features an automatic mechanical movement (Calibre Nine-Zero-Five-One) that is powered by the motion of your wrist. It does not use a battery.
How long does the power reserve last?
The Calibre Nine-Zero-Five-One movement has a power reserve of approximately 42 hours when fully wound.
What does 'high magnetic resistance' mean for this watch?
It means the watch is engineered to maintain its accuracy even when exposed to magnetic fields up to 16,000 A/m, which are commonly found around smartphones, computers, and other electronic devices.
Can I wear this watch while swimming or showering?
The water resistance rating for this specific model should be checked. Generally, sport-luxury watches are suitable for daily wear and light splashes, but activities like swimming or diving require specific water resistance levels. Avoid exposure beyond its stated rating.
What is the accuracy of this watch?
As an automatic watch, its standard accuracy is rated between -10 to +20 seconds per day. This can vary based on factors like position, temperature, and activity level.
How do I clean my Citizen Series 8 watch?
Wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, dry cloth. For smudges, use a slightly damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
Is the bracelet adjustable?
The integrated H-link bracelet typically uses links that can be removed or added by a watchmaker to achieve a precise fit. It features a folding clasp for secure wear.
Troubleshooting
Watch has stopped running.
Manually wind the crown 30-40 times clockwise. If the watch still does not run, it may require servicing or the power reserve has been fully depleted and needs to be worn for continuous operation.
Timekeeping is inaccurate (gaining or losing time significantly).
Automatic watches have a standard accuracy tolerance (-10 to +20 seconds per day). If the deviation is outside this range, ensure the watch is fully wound and worn regularly. If the issue persists, it may require regulation by a watchmaker.
Date is not changing correctly.
Ensure you are not setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM. If you must set it during these hours, first advance the time past midnight. If the problem continues, consult a watchmaker.
Bezel is stiff or difficult to turn.
The bezel on this model is fixed and not designed to be turned. If you are experiencing unusual resistance or movement, it may indicate an issue requiring professional inspection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup:
- Winding: If the watch has stopped, gently wind the crown (located at the 3 o'clock position) clockwise about 30-40 times until you feel resistance. This will provide an initial power reserve.
- Setting Time: Pull the crown out to the furthest position. Rotate to set the desired time. Push the crown back in fully to start the watch.
- Setting Date: Pull the crown out to the middle position. Rotate to set the date. *Note: Avoid changing the date between 9 PM and 3 AM to prevent potential damage to the movement.* If you need to set the date within this window, advance the time past midnight first.
Compatibility:
- This is a purely mechanical watch; no electronic compatibility is required for its core function.
- Its high magnetic resistance ensures it functions reliably near common electronic devices like smartphones, laptops, and tablets.
Care and Maintenance:
- Cleaning: Wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn smudges, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Water Resistance: While the watch is built for daily wear, specific water resistance ratings should be checked for the exact model. Avoid exposing the watch to water beyond its stated rating. If the watch comes into contact with salt water or chemicals, rinse it with fresh water and dry thoroughly.
- Servicing: As an automatic watch, it requires periodic servicing (typically every 3-5 years) by a qualified watchmaker to ensure optimal performance and longevity. This involves cleaning, lubrication, and regulation of the movement.
- Avoid Shocks: While robust, extreme shocks can affect the accuracy or damage the movement. Remove the watch during strenuous activities or sports that involve significant impact.
