Citizen Dive Watch Review: Aqualand Stainless Steel

Here is my review of the highlights and quirks of this classic looking dive watch from Citizen. Despite it's classic look, it has some modern features such as a depth meter and a stopwatch.

hello , and thanks for the review. i got it for present , for christmas and i would like to ask you something.. it came to me with the orange hand indicates level 1 for battery load. I tried 2 times charging it under light with low watts as the manual indicates, and the level goes to level 2 , but lasts there for 1-2 days ,. and with no use , goes again to level1 . is that normal? how many hours should i left it under low wattage light? Please explain me. Thanks again man!!

@COSDR That sounds normal to me. It uses energy every day to run so the power level will drop. Level 1 doesn't mean it's low on power, just that it's not 100% full. My manual says full charging time 20cm (8 in.) from a 30W light is 18 hours. Did you charge it that long? I usually lay mine under a window to charge it. Then the time for a full charge is from 5 hours (cloudy day) to 2.5 hours (sunny summer day).

@nikudes If it's really low on power the orange hand will point to NG and the second hand will move in 2-second intervals. Before it stops completely from lack of power both the orange hand and second hand will move to zero.

@nikudes thanks for your reply. my greek manual is bad written, as everything in greece lol, i didnt charge it for 18hours, now i know. well , we have many summer days here, so in summer will be fine lol,. thanks again

@COSDR No worries! Glad it worked out.

@sunstopper I think what the manual is saying is that, if you go deeper than 50m, the orange hand will point at the Over-zone mark. Or if there's something wrong with the the watch it will do the same. So if the watch is pointing at the Over-zone mark in less than 50m of water, send it to a service center. Otherwise it should work fine again once it's in less than 50m of water.

@nikudes Does that mean it's not reliable to dive with?

@sunstopper The manual says that orange rectangle is called the "Over zone mark." If the diving depth exceeds 50m (125 ft.), or if the depth meter isn't functioning properly for some reason, the orange hand will point at the over zone mark.
