Product Information

Full details

This Citizen Sport watch is designed for men seeking a stylish and durable timepiece for everyday wear and active pursuits. Its key benefit lies in the Eco-Drive technology, offering reliable performance without battery changes. A potential caveat is that while water-resistant to 100M, it is not suitable for deep-sea diving. The watch features a stainless steel case and bracelet, a striking blue dial with yellow accents, mineral glass, and a date display, powered by the Eco-Drive J810 movement.

FAQs

How long does the Eco-Drive battery last?

The Eco-Drive system does not use a traditional battery but a rechargeable light-powered cell. When fully charged, it can hold a power reserve of up to 240 days in darkness. The cell itself is designed to last for many years, typically 10 years or more, before needing replacement.

What does 100M water resistance mean for use?

100M (or 10 Bar) water resistance means the watch is suitable for everyday wear, showering, and recreational swimming. It is not designed for scuba diving or activities involving significant water pressure changes.

How do I set the time on my Citizen watch?

Pull the crown out to the third position (fully extended) to stop the second hand. Rotate the crown to set the hour and minute hands to the correct time. Push the crown back in to resume operation.

Can I wear this watch in saltwater?

Yes, you can wear the watch in saltwater, but it is highly recommended to rinse it with fresh water immediately afterward to remove salt residue, which can corrode the metal over time.

Does the watch have a stopwatch or chronograph function?

This specific model, AW1810-85L, is a sport watch with a date display and Eco-Drive movement. It does not feature a stopwatch or chronograph function.

What is the warranty period for this watch?

Citizen typically offers a limited warranty on their watches against defects in material and workmanship. Please refer to the warranty card included with your watch for specific terms and duration, which is often 5 years for the movement and 1 year for the case and bracelet.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped and is not running.

The watch requires charging. Expose it to a strong light source (preferably sunlight) for at least a few hours. If it stops again shortly after, it may need a longer charging period or may have an issue with the power reserve.

Date is not changing correctly.

Ensure the watch is not between the hours of 9 PM and 1 AM when setting the date, as this can cause the date to jump incorrectly. Pull the crown out to the first position and set the time, ensuring the date changes at midnight. Then, set the correct time.

Luminous markers/hands are not glowing.

The luminous material absorbs light and glows in the dark. Ensure the watch has been sufficiently exposed to light. The glow will naturally fade over time; it needs recharging.

Scratches on the glass.

Mineral glass can be scratched. Minor scratches may be buffed out by a professional watch repair service, but significant damage typically requires glass replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup: Your Citizen Eco-Drive watch is designed to be low-maintenance. Upon first use or after extended storage without light, the watch may stop. Simply expose it to a light source (sunlight is most effective) for several hours to begin the charging process. The watch will then resume operation. The date function can be set by pulling the crown out to the first position and turning it.

Compatibility: This watch is a standalone timepiece and does not require compatibility with other devices or software.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean the stainless steel case and bracelet with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the finish.
  • Water Resistance: While rated for 100M, it's recommended to rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to salt water or chlorine. Ensure the crown is pushed in or screwed down before water exposure. Avoid operating the crown or buttons underwater.
  • Storage: Store the watch in a well-lit area to maintain its charge. Avoid prolonged storage in complete darkness.
  • Strap Adjustment: For bracelet adjustments, it is best to consult a professional jeweler or watch technician to ensure the integrity of the links and clasp.
