What would cause a Citizen Eco-Drive watch to just stop working?
Question by dimebag1968: What would cause a Citizen Eco-Drive watch to just stop working?
I just bought this watch a week ago. Other than the band being a touch small,( i ordered a couple of links for the band from Citizen) the watch has worked just fine. I noticed a day or two ago that the date had not moved and didn’t think much of it. Then today at about 10:40 AM it just stopped working. NOTHING has happened to it, just normal wear about 5 of the past 7 days.
Any ideas of what may have happened?
BTW this is a New watch.

Is the dial pushed in? If it is, then I would take it back. Eco-Drives don’t just stop like that unless something is wrong. I’d definately take it back!
Give your answer to this question below!
I can think of 2 reasons: 1. Dead Battery. Just because the watch is nes does not mean the batteries are. 2. Are you wearing a magnet on the same arm? I found out that this will stop a watch dead in it’s tracks. Buying a new battery did not help ($15.00 because of the watch brand.) Anyway, I took off my bracelet which had a magnetized clasp and a couple of hours later, the watch started again. It hasn’t stopped again and I have not worn that bracelet with the watch since.
