Thank you for your kind patronage of our CITIZEN product.
An unexpected phenomenon is confirmed for models with Caliber F990/F950. This phenomenon will occur if the result of “automatic leap second reception* ” is failed. While the watch is exposed under strong light in the daytime, this reception repeatedly activates until the reception result is successful. As a result, the battery may run out faster than expected.
Even this phenomenon will not affect the displayed time of watch or make the watch stop shortly, you are highly recommended to have the software updated so it can be used with confidence.
Please kindly contact the nearest CITIZEN Service Center if your watch model, case number and serial number are satisfied with the applicable scope in this notice.
