Citizen watches are 1 hour behind China time

Hello, it is recommended that you readjust the reference position and time difference, and then receive the radio signal to time, the operation method is as follows: (4 o'clock is a button, 2 o'clock is B button).

1. Confirmation of datum position:

Press the B button for more than 5 seconds, and let go when the second hand runs quickly. The hour, minute and second hands stop at 12 o'clock, and the date is at number 1.

To go back to the current time, press the b button at segment 0 or wait for 10 seconds. ）

Second, the adjustment of the reference position:

1.0 section of the shank, tie the b button for more than 5 seconds, let go after the second hand rotates, and stop.

2.The second section of the shank, press the A button, the hour hand, the second hand, and the date back and forth, and turn the hour hand to 12 (24) o'clock. Press the A button, and the handle head adjusts the minute hand and second hand to 12 o'clock. Press the A button again and adjust the date to the 1st.

3.0 segments of the shank, press the b button.

2 sections of the shank, press the A button, the hour hand moves, turn the shank to adjust the hour hand to the current time (distinguish the morning and afternoon). Press the A button again, and the minute and second hands swing the handle head to adjust the minute hand time, and the handle head is pushed back to 0 segment.

4. Calendar, year, month:

1 section of the shank, turn the shank to adjust the current date. Press the A button again to adjust the current year and month. The shank is pushed back to 0 segments.

5. Adjust the time difference:

1. 0 section of the shank, press the B button to stop the second hand at 12 o'clock, reverse the handle to twist the second hand to the position of 59 seconds, and the time will be slowed down by 1 hour. Press the B button or wait 10 seconds after adjusting to return to the current time.

Brother, you are a single-bureau radio watch can only receive the time signal in Japan If you use the place within the Japanese signal coverage Just wait to cry Manually adjust the time every day It is recommended to return it if you can! It can only be used as a quartz watch.

Abnormal. Mechanical watch is powered by the mainspring, relying on the balance wheel speed regulation system to control the operation of the watch, its timing accuracy is affected by many internal and external factors, for example, it is easily affected by temperature and humidity changes, the spring full or half string, external forces caused by swing, vibration, magnetism, etc., is caused by mechanical characteristics.

In order to ensure the accuracy of the watch, the maintenance cycle of Citizen mechanical watches is generally about 2 years, and regular watch maintenance can ensure the sealing effect and waterproof performance of the watch.

There are two ways to adjust:

One: It is the daily correction of standard time.

2. Open the back cover and adjust the frequency of the balance.

Eco-Drive is the core technology and foundation of Citizen. And for Casio, it's just an additional feature, and it's the same status as waterproofing.

Different positioning, the investment in R&D costs and technical accumulation are very different. The end result is a difference in the performance of Eco-Drive watches.

This is clear from the comparison of accuracy, continuous working time, and style limitations.

1. Accuracy. The Citizen EcoDrive mid-to-high-end watch can control the error to 1 second per year.

That's right, you read that right, it's a year with an error of no more than 1 second. If multiple radio waves are used, this small error can be eliminated.

And even the most basic Eco Drive models can achieve an error of 15 seconds and months even if it is less than 1k.

On the other hand, Casio, its error is basically around 30 seconds per month. Although it does not affect the use, there are obviously many gaps compared to Citizen. Ode to trouble.

2. Continuous working hours.

The Citizen Eco Drive, whether basic or ultimate, can work continuously in the dark for 180 days - 240 days when fully charged. The battery life of the watch is also more than 10 years.

Maybe you've worn the strap and the watch is still walking.

But Casio is not as good as Citizen in terms of consistent working time and battery life.

Third, the style limitations.

I don't know if you have noticed, Casio Eco-Drive watches are basically this style:

Or this style:

There are few big three-hand dials as classic as the Forbidden Citizen:

What is the reason for this?

Quite simply, it can't be done technically.

If you want to achieve a large three-hand dial, you can't stack solar panels directly on the dial, which will destroy the overall shape. But how do you receive light energy without solar panels?

That's the technical capability, and Citizen Eco Drive can do it.

Over the years, Citizen has developed the "Annular Reflection Receiving Photo-Kemofuel Technology", which allows the dial design to accept light sources without the need for traditional solar panels, allowing the dial design to completely break free from the constraints of solar panels.

It's a pity that Casio has only scratched the surface of photokinetic technology and hasn't reached this height.

So, if you just want to buy a watch with photokinetics, then Casio is not bad either. But if you want to buy a real Eco-Drive watch, then Citizen is the best choice.

Which one to buy depends on your pre-bender, 1000 - 6000 yuan Citizen has a good Eco-Drive watch.

4. Citizen Eco-Drive is recommended.

Basic model: 1000 - 2000 yuan or so for men and women.

The most generous thing about Citizen Eco-Drive is that even the basic model contains the core parts of the Eco Drive, such as:

Battery life 15 years.

180 days of operation in dark conditions with full charge.

Monthly error 15 seconds month.

Among the basic models, the men's AW0024-58LB is a typical example.

The blackened material looks cool, with white characters on a blue background and a black belt, which is low-key and fashionable. Young people can wear formal clothes and casual clothes.

100-meter water resistance and luminous for light off-road or water.
