FAQs
What is the water resistance rating of this watch?
The Citizen Series 8 880 GMT has a water resistance of 10 bars, making it suitable for swimming and snorkeling, but not for deep diving.
How do I set the GMT hand?
The method for setting the GMT hand can vary. Typically, it involves a specific crown position or a sequence of crown adjustments. Please refer to the product's user manual for precise instructions.
Does this watch require a battery?
No, this is a mechanical watch. It is powered by the movement of your wrist (automatic) and can also be manually wound using the crown.
What is the warranty period for this watch?
The watch comes with a 2-year warranty from the date of purchase.
Can I wear this watch while showering?
Yes, with the crown fully pushed in, the 10-bar water resistance is sufficient for showering. However, avoid direct exposure to soaps and shampoos, which can degrade seals over time.
How often does the watch need servicing?
For optimal performance and to maintain water resistance, it is generally recommended to have a mechanical watch serviced every 2-3 years.
What is the material of the watch strap?
The watch strap is made of high-quality silver stainless steel.
Troubleshooting
Watch has stopped running
Manually wind the crown approximately 30-40 times. If the issue persists, the watch may require servicing.
Date is not changing correctly
Ensure the time is not set between 9 PM and 3 AM when the date change mechanism is engaged. Manually advance the time past midnight to reset.
GMT hand is not tracking correctly
Refer to the specific user manual for the correct procedure to set and adjust the GMT hand. Incorrect setting can lead to inaccurate tracking.
Scratches on the case or bracelet
Minor scratches can sometimes be buffed out by a professional watchmaker. Avoid contact with hard surfaces.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Versatile design suitable for both casual and formal occasions.
- GMT complication is practical for frequent travelers.
- Robust stainless steel build ensures durability.
- Good water resistance for everyday activities and water sports.
- Luminous elements enhance legibility in all lighting conditions.
Cons
- 41mm case size might be large for individuals with smaller wrists.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Winding: If the watch has stopped, gently wind the crown (located at the 3 o'clock position) about 30-40 times clockwise until you feel resistance. For automatic watches, wearing the watch will keep it wound through the motion of your wrist.
- Setting Time & Date: Pull the crown out to the first position to set the date, and to the second position to set the time. Do not change the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the mechanism.
- Setting GMT Hand: The GMT hand is typically set independently. Consult the specific manual for your model, but often it involves a separate crown position or a specific sequence of crown pulls.
Compatibility:
This is a standalone mechanical watch and does not interface with other electronic devices. Its compatibility relates to wrist size. The 21 cm strap with a 22 mm width is designed to fit a majority of adult wrists. Adjustments can be made at a watch service center.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the case and bracelet periodically with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Water Resistance: Ensure the crown is pushed in completely before exposing the watch to water. The 10-bar rating is suitable for surface swimming but not for deep diving. Professional servicing is recommended every 2-3 years to maintain water resistance.
- Magnetism: Mechanical watches can be affected by strong magnetic fields. Keep the watch away from speakers, electronic devices, or magnetic clasps.
