To set the time on your Citizen 4199 watch, pull the crown out to the second click position, rotate it to adjust the hour and minute hands to the correct time, and then push the crown back in to start the watch.
First, check the battery and replace it if necessary. If the watch still doesn't work, it may require servicing. Contact an authorized Citizen service center for assistance.
To adjust the date, pull the crown out to the first click position and rotate it to set the date. Be sure not to change the date between 9 PM and 3 AM to avoid damaging the mechanism.
Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the watch case and band. Avoid using any harsh chemicals or immersing the watch in water, especially if it is not water-resistant.
Your watch may need a regulation adjustment. Environmental factors like temperature and magnetic fields can also affect accuracy. Consider having it checked by a professional watch technician.
Check the case back of your watch for water resistance information. It's usually indicated in meters (e.g., 50m water-resistant). Avoid exposure to water if the watch is not marked as water-resistant.
Yes, you can replace the strap yourself if you have the right tools. However, for the best results and to avoid damage, it's recommended to have it done by a professional.
Citizen recommends having your watch serviced every 3 to 5 years to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
Minor scratches can sometimes be polished out with a special scratch remover. For deeper scratches, consider having the crystal replaced by a professional.
Some noise from the movement is normal, especially in mechanical watches. If the noise is excessive or has changed suddenly, it may need to be inspected by a technician.
