CITIZEN ECO-DRIVE | Battery Replacement | Solar Battery | DIY
citizen eco drive watch is basically a solar powered watch. You do not need a battery change often and they charge on any source of light. I use a table lamp to charge them. In this video i changed a battery since charging it wasnt doing anything. I charged it and set it to the right time. Please like and subscribe. This watch goes for $500 and a battery for a cCitizen watch could cost up to $50 depending on where you buy it from.
Please visit the website below for reference to what battery number is required for your watch.

It's actually a capacitor that just looks like a battery. Excellent advice about charging it under a light because if it's been kept in a drawer, for instance, the 'battery' will discharge over a few months. These watches are absolutely excellent.

Mine just now needs a replacement cap after 25 years, I agree that they are excellent. Mine is the exact model shown in this video. Direct sunlight will take it from zero to full charge in just a few hours. Other than that, just wear it, it'll take care of itself.

Yes! I have one that I've never worn. It's been sitting in a box in a drawer for a few years and I pulled it out recently to discover it's not working. I immediately assumed the battery was dead and I'd need to replace it. I didn't realize it was solar charging!
Thank you so much. I missed the little piece on top the battery and you save me showing how to installed it. 👍🏻
Thanks for showing this to us, quite informative, However, considering this rather small screw and the bridge + since this is a real Divers Watch, maybe it's better to buy the battery yourself but leave it to an authorized Watchmaker for this kind of service, because this back cover must be tensioned with a certain strength for 200m and also this gasket which is very important detail, must always! be changed on such an occasion, Regards.
Just changed my battery on this watch thank you for the video👍

Hey Thanks very informative video!!! With this video I can do my Promaster Eco drive watch!
What size gasket does the back take? I need to replace my cap, and would want to replace that while I'm at it, esp. due to the age of the watch.
That flicker is code for a problem with the battery, it’s sweet that it will still tell you when it’s more or less dead , needs a charge is a steady two notches steady move charging is a steady one at a time , and you can set date and time and it will keep time accurately till full charge , eco drives are virgin awesomeness, my favourite of all time is my model 8200A cause needs nothing and just keeps going
good job
What are the gauges for three. And can you set setting for them. One has 24,6,12,18. The other 20,40,60. And the other the eco drive and that ha d moves like seconds
I I have one of these where would I get a replacement glass and how easy is it to replace thanks
Just got a Rolan eco-watch. Thought wouldn’t have to mess with battery, but I guess it wears out over time.
Good video.

gran video, amigo...muy instructivo, tengo un reloj igual al del video pero el que es todo de titanio, usa la misma bateria y ya esta empezando a fallar, por las noches la manecilla que indica la carga se coloca en el nivel minimo y en la mañana cuando hay luz solar vuelve a cargar al nivel medio (LV1)...será desgaste de la bateria?

en la mayoría de los casos, la batería no funciona correctamente. sería prudente pedir la misma batería e instalarla. si todavía hace lo mismo, póngase en contacto con el centro de servicio
Amazing vídeo. Very very good... :-)

Amazing since Eco-Drive doesn't have a battery! They use capacitors which are a completly different technology.

what is the difference between battery and capacitor? Is that watch in the video fake? Or is the capacitor physically similar to the battery?
@BrianWMay

@@paulopaniago5972 Yes it looks like a normal watch battery with a lug welded on to it. Loosely called a battery because most folks haven't got any idea what a capacitor does.
Brilliant video . Thanks for sharing. I have a similar watch and when fully charged it drops very quickly indoors- to about a 1/4 .The watch is running ok and stays at about a1/4 in doors. If i put it in a drawer its stops very quickly. Should I change the battery anyway ?

Straight line speed is great, but it's all about the curves. However, dollar for dollar vs what you get in speed, the Panigale takes the W.

Sorry to hear that. Put it under a lamp for 24 hours and then determine if it needs a battery replacement.
how long does a capacitor last on average?
@watchbatteryguy7421
Жыл бұрын
In my experience, 3-5 years. If you keep the watch charged, it can last for longer.
No! If it's moving let it charge, and the second hand won't act right until the watch is charged and set correctly. Don't replace the battery unless you keep it in the light for days and it's still dead. My dad's watch sat in a drawer and needed 3 days on the window sill to wake back up.
