Important Notes
To maintain optimal performance, regularly expose the watch to light, as Eco-Drive relies on light absorption to recharge. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures or strong magnetic fields. While highly durable, the sapphire crystal should be protected from direct impacts. This model is covered by Citizen’s manufacturer warranty and includes detailed care instructions in the user manual.
