12/12/2023 0 Comments Citizen calibre 2100 wr200When I was growing up, if you asked me for the time, I would say, “half past”, or “quarter of”. I find it interesting that we care so much about how accurate it is. Then I use either my cell phone clock, or my computer clock to set the time. ![]() Regarding setting the time, I pull the stem out all the way and the second hand stops. You can see this is you have a long sleeve shirt covering it and then lift up the sleeve to look at the watch. My new watch will actually not move the second hand at all when the watch is in the dark, then when the watch is exposed to light, the second hand will swing to the position where it would have been if it kept moving. Regarding the energy saving features, my old Citizen watch, (the one in this review) moves the second hand at two second intervals when the battery is low. I don’t believe he has replaced his battery either. When my brother and I bought our watches, (a few months apart), he told me that eventually the battery would need to be replaced. Regarding the battery life, I don’t know what to do to get a dead watch to come back to life- other than replacing the battery. But if you need to remove an uneven number of links, don’t remove them all from the same side. Regarding the links, since they move around on the wrist, I don’t think it matters to remove the same number from both sides. I think it is a design flaw because my other watch has a titanium band, and it is also made in China, but it doesn’t pinch at all. (Interestingly, the watch is made in Japan, but the band is made in China.) The other thing about the band I don’t like is that the band tends to pinch the hairs on my wrist a lot. For one, the gold tone finish on the band is already starting to wear off. But there are a few things I do not like about it, both related to the band. It’s an amazing watch, with all sorts of functions. My brother, who buys old and unique watches and repairs them, told me he had a Citizen Model BL5182-51P sitting in the sun on his windowsill for the past year, and he said I could have it if I wanted it. ![]() The old one still works great, (and I still have not changed the battery.) But I wanted one with gold tones. Interestingly, I just got a new EcoDrive watch.
