FAQs: Citizen Automatic Watches

   Tsuyosa NJ015 for sporty everyday wear, classic dress pieces like NH8350, and Promaster mechanical divers for tool watch fans.

   Typical factory ranges are about −20 to +40 sec per day for 8xxx and roughly −10 to +30 sec per day for 9xxx. Regulation can improve this.

   Most sit around 40 to 42 hours. Some higher grade movements reach 60 hours.

   Yes. You get dependable movements, sapphire on many models, solid finishing, and strong resale appeal at approachable prices.

11. How water resistant are they for daily use?
    Dress models are often 30 to 50 m for rain and hand washing. Sports pieces and divers run 100 to 200 m for swimming and more. Avoid hot showers and saunas.
    
    

12. How do I start a stopped automatic?
    Give 20 to 40 turns of the crown if the calibre hand winds, then wear it. If it does not hand wind, gently swing it for 30 seconds and set the time.
