Benrus citation electric ESA movement help

[Joeydwatchmaker]

Hello everyone, I got a beautiful condition benrus citation with a esa movement in a watch lot. It has the nice silver and blue face with the lightning bolt second hand. I put a bettery in and the balance moved some then stopped, then moved some more. Seems to stay running longer in certain positions. Everything looks good inside. Anyone have any experience with these. I never worked on a electronic watch before. Thank you all

What is the movement in the Benrus? tt should be an ESA 9154 (13 jewels) like this...it is a straightforward overhaul with a few minor diffrences because of the electronics and also the keyless works. You said you've never worked on an electronic watch, but if you've done a mechanical movement its similar and not that hard. Check out the other ESA posts by using the search bar. I can give you some input because I've done a few.
