Product Information

Full details

This Citizen Sport Eco-Drive watch is designed for men seeking a durable and stylish timepiece for everyday wear. Its key benefit is the Eco-Drive technology, which eliminates the need for battery replacements by powering the watch with any light source. A minor caveat is the mineral crystal glass, which is less scratch-resistant than sapphire crystal. The watch features a stainless steel case and bracelet, a black dial with oversized markers for easy readability, and a date display at the 3 o'clock position.

FAQs

How does the Eco-Drive technology work?

Eco-Drive technology harnesses light (natural or artificial) and converts it into electrical energy to power the watch. This energy is stored in a rechargeable battery, eliminating the need for manual winding or battery replacements.

How long does the power reserve last?

The power reserve duration varies by model, but typically lasts from a few months up to several years on a full charge when kept in darkness. Refer to your specific model's manual for exact specifications.

What should I do if I accidentally scratch the mineral crystal?

Minor scratches on mineral crystal can sometimes be buffed out by a professional watch repair service. However, significant scratches may be difficult to remove completely. For greater scratch resistance, consider a watch with sapphire crystal in the future.

Is this watch suitable for swimming?

The suitability for swimming depends on the watch's specific water resistance rating. Check the case back or documentation for the rating (e.g., 50M, 100M). Watches rated 50M or less are generally not recommended for swimming. A rating of 100M or higher is typically required for swimming.

What is the warranty period for this watch?

This watch comes with a 5-year Citizen UK warranty, covering manufacturing defects. Please refer to the warranty card included with your purchase for full terms and conditions.

How do I set the time and date?

Pull the crown out to the appropriate position. Usually, the first click allows you to set the date, and the second click allows you to set the time. Always set the date between 3 AM and 8 PM to avoid damaging the date mechanism.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped or the second hand moves in two-second jumps.

The watch's power reserve is low. Expose the watch to a bright light source (natural sunlight is best) for several hours to recharge the Eco-Drive cell. Once sufficiently charged, the second hand should resume normal one-second movement.

Date is not changing correctly.

Ensure the crown is in the correct position for setting the date. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can interfere with the date change mechanism. Pull the crown out to the date-setting position (usually the first click) and adjust the date forward.

Watch is not keeping accurate time.

Ensure the watch is adequately charged. If the issue persists, it might require servicing. Contact Citizen customer support or an authorized service center.

Strap/bracelet feels loose or tight.

Adjustments can be made at the clasp or by removing/adding links. For precise adjustments, consult a jeweler or watch repair shop.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Never needs a battery thanks to Eco-Drive technology.
  • Durable stainless steel construction for long-lasting wear.
  • Sporty and stylish design suitable for various occasions.
  • Easy-to-read dial with oversized markers.
  • Convenient date display function.

Cons

  • Mineral crystal is more prone to scratching than sapphire crystal.
  • Specific water resistance rating needs to be confirmed for water-based activities.
  • May require initial exposure to light to start if fully depleted.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup: Upon receiving the watch, ensure it is exposed to a sufficient light source to activate the Eco-Drive movement. If the watch has been stored for an extended period and has stopped, place it in direct sunlight or under a bright artificial light for several hours to fully charge. The second hand may move in two-second intervals when the power reserve is low.

Compatibility: This is a standalone analog watch and does not require compatibility with other devices or software. It operates independently.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Clean the stainless steel case and bracelet periodically with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the finish.
  • Crystal Care: While mineral crystal is durable, avoid direct impact with hard surfaces to prevent scratches. If scratches occur, they may be polished out by a professional watchmaker, though this is less effective than with harder crystal types.
  • Water Resistance: Refer to the specific water resistance rating indicated on your watch. While suitable for splashes and light rain, avoid submerging the watch unless its rating is sufficient (e.g., 100m for swimming). Ensure the crown is pushed in or screwed down before exposure to water.
  • Storage: Store the watch in a cool, dry place. If storing for long periods, keep it exposed to light periodically to maintain the power reserve.
