FAQs

How long does the Eco-Drive movement last on a full charge?

The Calibre E365 Eco-Drive movement is designed to run for up to 365 days (one year) on a full charge.

Do I need to replace the battery in this watch?

No, the Eco-Drive technology is powered by light, so you will not need to replace the battery. The rechargeable power cell is designed to last for many years.

What kind of light is best for charging the watch?

Both natural sunlight and artificial light sources can charge the watch. Sunlight is generally more efficient, but regular exposure to indoor lighting is sufficient for maintaining the charge.

How can I tell if my watch is charging?

When exposed to light, the second hand will typically move normally (in one-second intervals). If the power is very low, the second hand may jump in two-second intervals, indicating it needs more light exposure.

Is this watch suitable for swimming?

Please check the specific water resistance rating printed on the case back of your watch. Many Citizen Eco-Drive watches have water resistance suitable for swimming or showering, but always avoid operating the crown or pushers while underwater.

What is the 'Power Reserve Indicator'?

Some Eco-Drive models feature a power reserve indicator that allows you to check the remaining charge level. This is usually displayed by the second hand moving in two-second intervals when the charge is low.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped or the second hand is not moving

The watch needs to be charged. Expose it to a light source for at least 30 minutes, preferably direct sunlight or a bright lamp, for several hours. Ensure the power reserve indicator (if applicable on your specific model) is not at its lowest point.

Second hand jumps in 2-second intervals

This indicates a low power reserve. Place the watch in a bright light source to charge it fully. The hand will return to normal 1-second intervals once sufficiently charged.

Inaccurate timekeeping

Ensure the watch has been fully charged. If the issue persists after charging, contact an authorized Citizen service center for inspection, as the movement may require servicing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extended power reserve of 365 days on a single charge.
  • Environmentally friendly, reducing battery waste.
  • Reliable and precise timekeeping.
  • Versatile black design suitable for formal and casual wear.
  • Combines advanced technology with classic watchmaking.

Cons

  • The 43mm dial size may be too large for individuals with smaller wrists.
  • Requires exposure to light to maintain power.
  • Initial setup might require understanding Eco-Drive charging principles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup:

  1. Unpack your Citizen Eco-Drive 365 watch.
  2. Expose the watch to a light source (natural or artificial) for at least 30 minutes to ensure a sufficient charge to start the movement.
  3. If the second hand is not moving, place it in direct sunlight or under a bright lamp for several hours.

Compatibility:

This watch is a standalone timepiece and does not require pairing with other devices or software. Its functionality is self-contained.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the watch case and strap regularly with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  • Charging: Ensure the watch is exposed to light regularly. While it holds a 365-day charge, consistent light exposure prevents the power reserve from depleting significantly.
  • Water Resistance: Check the specific water resistance rating for your model. Avoid exposing the watch to water beyond its stated limits. For Eco-Drive watches, it's generally recommended to rinse with fresh water and dry thoroughly after exposure to salt water or chemicals.
  • Strap Care: If your watch has a leather strap, avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and direct sunlight, which can cause drying and cracking. A fabric strap can be gently cleaned with mild soap and water.
