Setup
Initial Charging (Solar-Drive Technology)
Your EVOQUE 2 watch utilizes Solar-Drive technology, converting any light source into energy to power the watch and store surplus in a power cell. No battery replacement is needed.
- First Use: Upon receiving your watch, expose it to a bright light source (natural sunlight or strong artificial light) for several hours to ensure it is fully charged.
- Regular Charging: For optimal performance, ensure the watch is regularly exposed to light. It is designed to charge from ordinary everyday light sources like indoor fluorescent lighting and desk lights.
- Power Reserve: On a full charge, the watch can run for up to 180 days even in darkness.

Operating Instructions
Setting the Time
To set the time on your EVOQUE 2 wristwatch:
- Pull the crown (the knob on the side of the watch) out to the time-setting position.
- Rotate the crown to adjust the hour and minute hands to the correct time.
- Once set, push the crown back in to its normal position to start the watch.
Using the Rotatable Chronograph Bezel
The EVOQUE 2 features a rotatable chronograph bezel made of aluminium. This bezel can be used for basic timekeeping or elapsed time measurement.
- Elapsed Time Measurement: Rotate the bezel so that the zero mark aligns with the minute hand. As time passes, the minute hand will point to the elapsed time on the bezel.
- Second Time Zone: The bezel can also be used to mark a second time zone by aligning it with the current hour in another time zone.
Calculation Speed Function
The 3-hand design allows for the calculation of movement speed based on a 50-meter scale inside the dial.
- To calculate speed, start counting seconds from 0.
- If an object moves 50 meters and the second hand has passed 20 seconds, the corresponding speed is 9 km/h according to the dial's scale.

Maintenance and Care
Water Resistance (50M)
Your EVOQUE 2 watch is water-resistant up to 50 meters (5 ATM).
- Suitable for: Swimming and general water exposure.
- Not Suitable for: Shower bathing, hot springs, or diving. Exposure to hot water or steam can compromise the watch's seals.
- Important: Do not operate the crown or push buttons when the watch is wet or submerged.

Cleaning
To maintain the appearance of your watch:
- Wipe the watch case and silicone strap with a soft, damp cloth.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, which can damage the finish.
Storage
When storing the watch for extended periods, ensure it is exposed to light periodically to maintain its charge. Avoid extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Watch stops or runs intermittently. | Insufficient charge. | Expose the watch to bright light (natural sunlight is best) for several hours to fully charge. Ensure regular light exposure. |
| Time is inaccurate (±30 seconds/month). | Normal operational variance for the movement. | This is within the specified accuracy of the Citizen imported gearbox. Adjust time manually if needed. |
| Condensation inside the crystal. | Exposure to extreme temperature changes or compromised water resistance. | Avoid hot showers or hot springs. If condensation persists, contact customer support. |
