Is there anyone out there that repairs Citizen watches? Mine stopped working so I changed the capacitor in case that was it. I sent it in for repair and they want as much as it cost to purchase in order to get it working again. I don't think spending over $400 to repair a $400 watch makes much sense.
Anyone out there works on Citizen watches? If so, please contact me at noshwoogers@gmail.com Thanks, Steve |

I think the Citizens have the eco-drive system which use capacitor batteries which recharge with wrist motion. They should last 10 years or more, so it’s weird that they are failing. A little more expensive than a regular watch battery and slightly tricky because you have to align them rotationally, But still easy DIY if you have a case back removal tool. Or any actual jeweler that carries citizen should be able to do it.
If the watch has stopped working it could be water infiltration due to a failed seal. If that is the case it’s not worth fixing. But the good news is citizen watches only cost a few hundred dollars. It’s not Rolex or omega money, |

I have to send in my Royal Oak every time there is a problem, but they do everything for free.

I have 5 Citizen’s Eco Drive Watches. They’re about 10 yrs. old. I put them on the windowsill, in the sun, twice a month for 24 hrs. Once in a while, one will die so I just leave it in the sun longer and it starts up again!!!
