FAQs
What does 'automatic movement' mean?
An automatic movement watch is powered by the natural motion of your wrist. As you move, a rotor inside the watch winds the mainspring, storing energy. This eliminates the need for batteries, but it requires regular wear or a watch winder to keep it running.
How accurate is the Citizen Tsuyosa Automatic Watch?
Automatic watches typically have a daily variance, which can be affected by factors like wear patterns, temperature, and power reserve. While precise specifications vary, a well-maintained automatic watch will generally be accurate enough for daily timekeeping, though it may gain or lose a few seconds per day.
Can I wear this watch while swimming or showering?
No. The Citizen Tsuyosa Automatic Watch has a water resistance of 50 meters (5 ATM), which means it is suitable for splashes, light rain, and hand washing. It is not designed for swimming, snorkeling, showering, or diving, as continuous water pressure or steam can compromise its seals over time.
How do I set the time and date on my watch?
To set the time, pull the crown out to the furthest position and turn it. To set the date, pull the crown out to the first click and turn it. Always push the crown back in completely after setting to maintain water resistance. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM to prevent damage to the date mechanism.
How often should I have my automatic watch serviced?
It is generally recommended to have automatic watches serviced every 3 to 5 years. Regular servicing by a qualified watchmaker ensures the movement is cleaned, lubricated, and calibrated, which helps maintain accuracy and prolong the life of the watch.
How should I clean the gold-tone case and bracelet?
Regularly wipe the watch with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints and smudges. For a deeper clean, you can slightly dampen the cloth with plain water and gently wipe the gold-tone stainless steel. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
Troubleshooting
Watch has stopped running or is not keeping accurate time.
Ensure the watch has sufficient power reserve. If you haven't worn it recently, manually wind it by turning the crown clockwise approximately 30-40 times while the crown is in the normal (pushed-in) position. Then, wear the watch consistently for several hours. If the issue persists, the watch may require servicing.
Date is not changing correctly at midnight.
First, ensure the time is set correctly, distinguishing between AM and PM. The date typically changes around midnight. If it changes at noon, you need to advance the hour hand by 12 hours. Avoid setting the date manually between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the date mechanism. If the time is within this window, first move the hour hand past 3 AM, set the date, and then set the correct time.
Moisture or fog appears under the crystal.
This indicates a potential breach in the water resistance seals. Immediately take the watch to a professional watchmaker for inspection and repair. Do not attempt to dry it yourself, as internal components could be damaged.
Bracelet feels too tight or too loose.
The integrated bracelet is adjustable. Visit a professional jeweler or watchmaker to have links removed or added, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit. Do not attempt to adjust the bracelet yourself if you are unsure, to prevent damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Initial Setup
Unboxing: Carefully remove your watch from its packaging.
Initial Winding (if stopped): If the watch is not running, gently turn the crown clockwise about 30-40 times while it's in the normal (pushed-in) position. This provides an initial power reserve. Alternatively, wear the watch for several hours to allow the automatic movement to begin winding.
Setting the Time: Pull the crown out to the furthest position. Turn the crown to set the hour and minute hands. For accuracy, it's best to set the time slightly ahead and then back to the desired time to remove any gear slack.
Setting the Date: Gently pull the crown out to the first click. Turn the crown to adjust the date. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this is when the date change mechanism is engaged and could be damaged. If the time is within this window, first move the hour hand past 3 AM, set the date, and then set the correct time.
Secure the Crown: Once time and date are set, push the crown back in completely to ensure water resistance.
Compatibility
The watch is designed for standard wrist sizes. The bracelet can be adjusted by a professional jeweler or watchmaker to ensure a comfortable and secure fit. Additional links can be removed or added as needed.
Care and Maintenance
Cleaning: Regularly wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to remove dirt, sweat, and oils. For more thorough cleaning, a slightly damp cloth can be used on the stainless steel, but avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Water Exposure: Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in when near water. While 50m water resistant, avoid prolonged immersion, hot showers, or steam, which can degrade seals.
Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Do not expose the watch to extreme heat or cold, as this can affect the accuracy of the movement and the integrity of the materials.
Magnetic Fields: Keep the watch away from strong magnetic fields (e.g., speakers, refrigerators, laptops) as these can magnetize the movement and affect timekeeping accuracy.
Servicing: Automatic watches benefit from periodic servicing (typically every 3-5 years) by a qualified watchmaker to ensure lubrication and component integrity. This helps maintain accuracy and extends the watch's lifespan.
