Using and caring for the Citizen AT2242-55E Eco-Drive Axiom Men's Watch

The Eco-Drive H504 movement needs light to help it run, so wear the watch regularly or keep it where daylight reaches the dial. Wipe the gold-tone stainless steel case and mineral crystal with a soft dry cloth after wear. Store the watch away from hard objects that could mark the crystal.

• Keep the watch in regular light rather than a dark drawer so the Eco-Drive H504 movement can draw power.
• Wipe the gold-tone stainless steel case and mineral crystal with a soft cloth to remove dust and marks.
• Keep the mineral crystal away from keys, tools and other hard items that can scratch it.
• Use the 1-second chronograph for short timing, then reset it so the hands sit at zero.
• Adjust the date after months with fewer than 31 days, because the date function follows the usual calendar cycle.
