Citizen Eco-Drive Capacitor Replacement
Posted by Aime Co on
Citizen introduced its first solar powered watch in the year 1976. In 1996, they introduced the Eco-Drive watch. The Eco-Drive watch converts natural light and artificial light to power watches. The watch can be charged under natural, artificial light and dim light. As most watch batteries come to an end, so do the capacitors of Citizen’s Eco-Drive Watch. The capacitor of the watch can last up to an average of 10 years, according to First Class Watches. The Eco-Drive watches capacitor is able to store all the energy which is used to power the watch.
Total Watch Repair can replace the capacitor for any Citizen Eco-Drive watch.
