Product Information

Full details

The Citizen Arezzo AW1694-50A is a modern, two-tone men's watch designed for those who appreciate classic style with contemporary features. Its key benefit is the Eco-Drive technology, eliminating the need for battery changes by harnessing light power. A potential caveat for some users might be the 40mm case size, which may be larger than preferred for slimmer wrists. This watch features a striking white dial with bold black Roman numeral markers, a date window, and a durable two-tone yellow gold-toned stainless steel case and bracelet.

FAQs

Do I need to change the battery on this watch?

No, the Citizen Arezzo AW1694-50A features Eco-Drive technology, which converts any light into energy. It never requires a battery change.

How long does the charge last?

Once fully charged, the Eco-Drive watch can run for approximately 6 months in darkness, depending on the specific model and its power reserve capacity.

What is the warranty period?

The watch comes with a 5-year Citizen UK warranty, provided you are a UK-approved supplier customer.

Is this watch suitable for swimming?

The specific water resistance rating for this model is not detailed. It is generally suitable for splashes and daily wear, but it's recommended to avoid submersion or swimming unless the water resistance specifications explicitly confirm suitability.

How do I clean the two-tone bracelet?

Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the bracelet regularly. For tougher grime, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishing compounds that could damage the finish.

What are the case dimensions?

The case diameter is 40mm.

Can I wear this watch in the shower?

While the watch is likely resistant to splashes, it is generally not recommended to wear watches in the shower due to the potential for steam and hot water to affect seals and lubricants over time. Always check the specific water resistance rating.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped or is losing time.

The Eco-Drive power cell may be depleted. Expose the watch to a strong light source (natural sunlight is best) for at least 8-10 hours to fully recharge. If the issue persists after charging, contact an authorized service center.

Date is not changing correctly.

Ensure the date is not being set between 9 PM and 3 AM. Manually advance the time past midnight to ensure the date changes. If the issue continues, consult the manual or an authorized service center.

Crown is difficult to turn or pull.

Ensure you are pulling the crown straight out. Do not force it. If it feels stuck, try gently wiggling it while pulling. If problems persist, professional inspection is recommended.

Bracelet adjustment needed.

For minor adjustments, a jeweler can assist with removing or adding links. For DIY adjustments, ensure you have the correct tools and follow specific guides for watch bracelet resizing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup:

The Citizen Arezzo AW1694-50A, powered by Eco-Drive, requires minimal setup. Upon receiving the watch, it may be in a sleep mode. Expose it to a good light source for several hours to fully charge the power cell and activate the movement. The time and date can then be set manually.

Setting the Time and Date:

Pull the crown out to the first position (for date setting) or the second position (for time setting).
For the date, turn the crown to set the correct date. Note: Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can cause the date to change incorrectly.
For the time, pull the crown to the second position. Turn the crown to set the correct time, ensuring AM/PM is accurate.
Push the crown back in to its normal position.

Compatibility:

This is a standalone watch and does not require compatibility with other devices. Its compatibility is primarily with light sources for charging.

Care Instructions:

Cleaning: Wipe the case and bracelet periodically with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the finish.
Storage: When not in use, store the watch in a well-lit area or periodically expose it to light to maintain the charge. Avoid storing it in complete darkness for extended periods.
Water Resistance: While designed for daily wear, avoid prolonged submersion or high-impact water activities unless specified otherwise for this model. Rinse with fresh water and dry thoroughly after exposure to salt or chlorinated water.
