FAQs

How does Eco-Drive work?

Eco-Drive technology uses a solar cell to convert any light source into energy, which is then stored in a rechargeable power cell. This eliminates the need for battery replacements.

How long does the watch stay charged?

A fully charged watch can operate for several months, even in darkness. The exact duration depends on the model and the frequency of light exposure.

Is the watch waterproof?

The watch is water-resistant to 30 meters, suitable for everyday use and splashes, but not for swimming or diving.

How do I care for the leather strap?

Clean the strap with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid exposure to water and direct sunlight. Use a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple.

Can I overcharge the watch?

Eco-Drive watches have a system to prevent overcharging, so it is safe to leave them exposed to light for extended periods.

What should I do if the watch is not keeping time accurately?

If the watch is not keeping accurate time, it may need to be recharged. Ensure the watch is receiving sufficient light. If the problem persists, have it checked by a professional watch repair technician.

What is the warranty period?

Warranty information can vary. Check the included documentation or the Citizen website for details.
