Product Information

Full details

This Citizen Eco-Drive watch is designed for men seeking a stylish and functional sport timepiece. Its key benefit is the Eco-Drive technology, which powers the watch using any light source, eliminating the need for battery changes. A minor caveat is that while water-resistant for swimming and snorkeling, it is not suitable for scuba diving. The watch features a 1/5 second chronograph, 12/24 hour time, date display, and a durable design.

FAQs

How often do I need to charge the watch?

The Eco-Drive watch charges continuously whenever exposed to light. You do not need to perform specific charging routines beyond normal wear or exposure to light.

What does 100M water resistance mean?

100M means the watch can withstand the pressure equivalent to 100 meters of water depth. It is suitable for swimming, showering, and snorkeling, but not for activities like scuba diving or high-speed water sports.

How long does the power cell last?

The rechargeable power cell in an Eco-Drive watch is designed to last for many years, often exceeding 10 years, before needing replacement. However, it is not user-replaceable.

Can I wear this watch while swimming?

Yes, the watch is rated for 100M water resistance, making it suitable for swimming and snorkeling. Ensure the crown is pushed in before water exposure.

What is the warranty period for this watch?

This watch comes with a 5-year Citizen UK warranty.

How do I set the time?

Pull the crown out to the time-setting position (usually the outermost position) and rotate it to adjust the hour and minute hands. Push the crown back in to secure the setting.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped running

Expose the watch to a strong light source for at least a few hours. If it stops again shortly after, the power cell may need replacement (though this is rare given the Eco-Drive technology).

Chronograph hands are not resetting to zero

Consult the user manual for instructions on how to reset the chronograph hands. This usually involves pulling the crown out to a specific position and adjusting the sub-dial hands.

Date is incorrect

Pull the crown out to the time-setting position and adjust the date. Ensure you are not setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can cause the date mechanism to malfunction.

Condensation under the crystal

This may indicate a breach in water resistance. Avoid further water exposure and have the watch inspected by an authorized service center.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup:

  1. Ensure the watch is exposed to a light source (natural or artificial) for optimal charging of the power cell. If the watch has stopped, place it in direct sunlight for several hours.
  2. Set the correct time and date by pulling out the crown and turning it to the desired position.

Compatibility:

  • This is a standalone analog watch and does not require compatibility with other devices or software.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the watch case and bracelet with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  • Water Resistance: While rated at 100M, it's recommended to rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to saltwater or chemicals. Ensure the crown is pushed in fully before any water exposure. Avoid operating the chronograph buttons underwater.
  • Storage: If storing for long periods, leave the watch in a well-lit area to maintain the charge. Avoid storing in complete darkness.
