FAQs
What does "Eco-Drive" mean?
Eco-Drive is Citizen's proprietary technology that harnesses light (from any natural or artificial source) to power the watch, eliminating the need for battery replacements. The watch stores energy in a rechargeable power cell.
How long does the charge last?
A full charge typically provides enough power for approximately 6 months in darkness, depending on the specific model and usage.
Can I swim with this watch?
The watch has a water resistance of 50 meters, which is suitable for everyday wear, including protection against splashes and rain. However, it is not designed for swimming, diving, or prolonged immersion in water.
What material is the strap made of?
The watch comes with two strap options: a silver-tone stainless steel bracelet and an additional strap made from plant-leather.
How do I adjust the stainless steel bracelet?
The stainless steel bracelet may contain removable links. It is recommended to have the bracelet adjusted by a professional watchmaker or jeweler to ensure a proper and secure fit.
Is the crystal made of glass or sapphire?
The crystal is made of Spherical Sapphire, which offers excellent scratch resistance compared to mineral glass.
What is the case size?
The case size is 30mm in diameter.
Troubleshooting
Watch has stopped running
Ensure the watch has been exposed to sufficient light for at least 24 hours. If it stops again, it may require a longer charging period or servicing.
Difficulty changing the strap
Ensure you are pushing the quick-release latch firmly. If the spring bar is stiff, try using a soft cloth to grip it. Refer to the strap change instructions for visual guidance.
Scratches on the crystal
The spherical sapphire crystal is highly scratch-resistant. Minor surface marks might be polished by a professional watchmaker. Deep scratches may require crystal replacement.
Inaccurate timekeeping
Ensure the watch is fully charged and the 3-hand movement is functioning correctly. If the inaccuracy persists, it may require regulation by a qualified watch technician.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Initial Charge: Expose the watch to light (natural or artificial) for at least 24 hours before first use to ensure the power reserve is fully charged.
Strap Change: To change the strap, locate the quick-release latch on the underside of the bracelet or strap. Gently push the latch to release the spring bar and detach the strap. Align the new strap's spring bar with the lug holes and press the latch to secure it.
Compatibility:
The watch is designed for wrist wear and is compatible with standard watch strap replacement tools if you wish to use non-proprietary straps (ensure they are 16mm width).
Care:
Cleaning: Wipe the watch case and stainless steel bracelet with a soft, dry cloth. For the plant-leather strap, use a slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry completely; avoid harsh chemicals.
Eco-Drive Maintenance: Store the watch in a well-lit area when not in use to maintain its charge. Avoid prolonged storage in complete darkness.
Water Resistance: After exposure to salt water or chemicals, rinse the watch with fresh water and dry thoroughly. Do not operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet.
