Citizen Eco-Drive watches use the simplest, yet most technically advanced power generating and storage system in the Watch Manufacturing Industry. A solar conversion panel and energy cell are the power provider for these Quartz Watches. Eco-Drive's ability to use light from any source to generate electrical power means that the supply is limitless and free. The absence of any added complex power generating machinery that would require additional upkeep is another big advantage.

Charge time from Stop State:

For 1 day use:

Full charge: usually, overhead office light is insufficient to achieve a full charge from a completely depleted power reserve. We recommend that you use natural outdoor light, or an incandescent light source 20" from the watch for charging a watch in this state. However, office light is sufficient for keeping your watch continually charged.
