About Eco-Drive Technology
Your Citizen Eco-Drive watch is powered by light, eliminating the need for battery replacement. It converts any light source, natural or artificial, into electrical energy, which is stored in a permanently rechargeable power cell. This innovative technology ensures continuous operation and contributes to environmental sustainability by reducing battery waste.
The Eco-Drive technology harnesses light to power the watch, eliminating the need for traditional battery replacements. This system stores energy in a rechargeable cell, ensuring reliable and environmentally friendly operation.
Setup and Initial Charge
Upon receiving your watch, it may be in a low power state. To ensure optimal performance, expose the watch dial to a bright light source for several hours. Direct sunlight is most effective, but artificial light can also be used. Avoid extreme heat.
Setting the Time and Date:
- Pull out the crown: Gently pull the crown (the knob on the side of the watch) out to the first or second click position, depending on whether you are setting the date or time.
- Adjust the date: If applicable, rotate the crown to set the date.
- Adjust the time: Rotate the crown to set the hour and minute hands. For chronograph models, ensure the 12/24 hour sub-dial is also correctly set.
- Push in the crown: Once set, push the crown back into its normal position to start the watch.

Maintenance and Care
Proper care will ensure the longevity and performance of your Citizen Eco-Drive watch.
- Cleaning: Wipe the watch regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stainless steel bands, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry one.
- Water Resistance: Your watch is water resistant to 100 meters (10 ATM). This makes it suitable for showering, swimming, and snorkeling. Avoid operating the crown or pushers while the watch is wet.
- Temperature: Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, both hot and cold, as this can affect its performance and battery life.
- Storage: When not in use, store your watch in a place where it can be exposed to light to maintain its charge. Avoid storing it in dark places for extended periods.
- Service: For any repairs or battery cell checks, it is recommended to contact an authorized Citizen service center.
