Citizen Eco-Drive Watches

Citizen Eco-Drive watches are known for their innovative technology and durability. These watches are powered by light, eliminating the need for battery replacement. They are powered by a solar cell (also referred to as a capacitor) that converts light into energy, which is stored in a rechargeable lithium-ion cell. This not only makes these watches environmentally friendly, but also ensures that they have a long lifespan.

How to Charge Citizen Eco-Drive Watches

Citizen Eco-Drive watches are charged by exposure to light. The more light the watch is exposed to, the faster it will charge. Exposure to sunlight or artificial light will charge the watch. The watch can be worn on the wrist or placed in a well-lit location to charge. It is also important to note that the watch needs to be exposed to light for a certain amount of time in order to charge. This should be done regularly to keep the cell working efficiently.

Signs of a Low Charge

When the watch's charge is low, the second hand will start moving in two-second increments instead of one-second increments. Additionally, the watch may also have a power reserve indicator that will show the remaining power. When the indicator is low, it is time to charge the watch.

Eco-Drive Capacitor Replacement

Citizen Eco-Drive watches are designed to have a long lifespan, but over time, the capacitor may lose its ability to hold a charge. If your watch is not holding a charge or the power reserve indicator is showing a low charge, the capacitor may need to be replaced. At Key Location, we have access to professional and fully qualified watchmakers who can replace the capacitor for you.
