FAQs

Is the Citizen Series 8 880 GMT safe to wear while swimming?

Yes, with a water resistance rating of 100 meters, it is suitable for swimming and recreational water sports.

Does this watch have a battery?

No, this is an automatic mechanical timepiece powered by the motion of the wearer's wrist.

How do I adjust the GMT hand?

The hour hand can be adjusted independently via the crown, allowing you to change your local time while traveling without affecting the reference time.

Can the bracelet be resized?

Yes, the stainless steel bracelet features removable links that can be adjusted by a professional watchmaker to fit your wrist size.

What does magnetic resistance mean for this watch?

It means the watch movement is shielded from magnetic fields up to 16,000 A/m, which prevents the timekeeping mechanism from becoming magnetized and gaining or losing time.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped running

The automatic movement requires kinetic energy from wrist movement. Ensure the watch is worn regularly or placed on a watch winder to maintain the power reserve.

Time/Date is incorrect

Pull the crown to the designated setting position. Ensure the local hour hand is adjusted independently using the GMT setting function if you have crossed time zones.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent magnetic resistance for modern, tech-heavy environments
  • Independent GMT hour hand for easy local time adjustment
  • Highly legible blue dial with effective luminous coating
  • Solid 100m water resistance rating for versatile daily use

Cons

  • Stainless steel case and bracelet may feel heavy for all-day wearers
  • Requires regular wrist movement or a watch winder to maintain power reserve
  • Fixed design profile may not suit those preferring a slim, minimalist look

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set the time, unscrew the crown (if applicable) and pull it to the fully extended position to set the minutes. To set the local time and date, use the intermediate crown positions as outlined in your provided technical documentation. To ensure the longevity of the movement, avoid extreme physical shocks and handle the crown gently when adjusting settings. Clean the stainless steel case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth and mild soapy water to remove sweat or salt buildup, ensuring the watch is thoroughly dried afterward to maintain the integrity of the seals. If the watch is not worn for extended periods, the power reserve will deplete; gently rotate the watch to initiate the self-winding mechanism before setting the time.
