Do Citizen watches require servicing?

　　Citizen is committed to providing high-grade products and high standards of service, creating accessible pieces for everyday wear and maintaining a leading position in the international watch industry. However, some friends who have recently purchased a Citizen watch may wonder: do Citizen watches require servicing? If you would like to know, follow Ya to learn more about Citizen watch maintenance.

　　Citizen watches do indeed require servicing, and the methods for maintaining a Citizen watch are outlined below.

　　1 If any abnormalities occur with a Citizen watch, it should be taken to a specialist watch shop for inspection immediately.

　　2 Different watches should be worn for different occasions; for instance, when exercising, it is best to choose a sports Citizen watch with excellent water resistance and shock resistance.

　　3 Self-winding mechanical watches must be worn with sufficient physical activity—meaning they must be worn for more than 10 hours a day—in order to operate normally.

　　4 If the case back is marked with WATER RESISTANT or 3ATM, the watch is generally only suitable for accidental splashes or light rain under normal conditions.

　　5 If a Citizen mechanical watch gets damp, dry cotton can be pressed against the watch, followed by warming with a 40 watt light bulb for 5 minutes, which will allow all the moisture inside to evaporate completely.

　　6 If the crystal of a Citizen watch becomes heavily scratched, you can apply one or two drops of clean water onto the crystal, add a small squeeze of toothpaste, and polish it to remove the scratches and make the crystal look brand new.

　　7 Due to differences in internal mechanical construction, under normal usage conditions, the daily variance of a mechanical or self-winding mechanical watch should be within 30 seconds, whereas quartz watches have a lower variance and greater accuracy.

　　8 As a special reminder, no Citizen watch should be worn in warm water or the bathroom, even if your Citizen watch is water-resistant. Ambient water vapour molecules are relatively small and easily penetrate the case, causing internal mechanical damage.

　　Precautions for Citizen Watch Maintenance

　　Citizen mechanical watches operate via the drive of mechanical gears and mainsprings. Rotation inevitably generates friction, meaning that oiling and lubrication are required over time to reduce the component wear rate. Waiting until a fault develops before sending it for repair often means the problem has already become severe.

　　It is best to send a Citizen mechanical watch back for servicing every year to check for any improper use or water ingress. Particularly in humid climates where sweat, rainwater, and polluted air accumulate over the years, causing a chronic corrosive effect on the mechanics, the frequency and degree of damage are much higher than in Europe, America, or Japan. Therefore, routine checks are extremely important.

　　A thorough cleaning and service should then be carried out every three years. Typically, water resistance ratings such as 30 metres or 50 metres marked on watches refer to laboratory test data using pure water. Daily water resistance needs for Citizen watches are limited to wearing them while showering or washing hands; they must never be worn for swimming, diving, or bathing, as this will cause serious damage to the watch. These are the essential maintenance tips for Citizen mechanical watches.
