Citizen Eco Drive battery?


Recommended Posts

I have been given a ladies Citizen Eco Drive watch with the number B023-S036623

on the back cover and the number B023M on the movement itself..

It was taken to a well known (No names, no pack drill) shoe repair/watch battty replacement

centre and they fitted a 317 watch battery for £16.00.

In fairness, when the watch owner returned to the kiosk and said "the watch doesn't work," 

he was given a full refund and told that he can keep the battery.

Needless to say, this watch will not work with a 317 battery and, try as I might, I cannot

find out which capacitor ( There are so many) is required for the watch.

Also, as can be seen in the picture, the glass is cracked and in need of replacement.

So, if anyone can throw some light on these two requests for help, I will be

very gratefull.

Hello, I had a similar situation with the B023M movement just recently.  Watch was sent to me with the capacitor "installed" but it would not charge regardless of the light or duration of time left under a light source.   I couldn't find any documentation on the correct installation position for the capacitor online or on images of similar movements online.  I did get the correct position figured out and the watch's original capacitor worked.  Sometimes the battery replacement 'experts' just place them in the cell cavity and hope for the best.
