Hw to set time on sky hawk jy0050-10E - Citizen Skyhawk Eco-Drive JR306059F Wrist Watch

Stuck button?

The time on these watches has to be first properly referenced to UTC. I do not have the instruction book for your watch or even have a clue to the model number since you did not put any model number. There are several dozen Eco Drive models in each of the Citizen and Casio, and other type watches that are solar powered.

I have several types of Sky Hawk watches in the Citizen, and similar ones in the Casio. Check your instruction manual about how to set the UTC time, and how to set the offset time for your location. Once properly set up your watch should stay on time. If you have the radio receiver in your watch for the auto time setting, once the watch is set up properly it will maintain proper time all the time.

Looks like a weak battery problem...Change out the battery but don't forget to clean the battery contacts and watch the battery polarity when you put the new ones in!

Have you tried going to this website citizenwatch.com/COA/english/setting
it is an interactive website. I hope this is helpful.

The hands are not driven by the knobs. The knobs set the digital and the digital drive the hands. Find full particulars here: http://www.citizenwatch.com/COA/English/settings_int.asp?caliber=C651&interactive=C650 Your watch is not driven by a battery in the usual sense.

If after you do all that is asked of you by the instructions and the watch still will not run as it should, contact Citizen and get a return authorization. My Sky Hawk was dead dead dead. I returned it to them and they got it running and it is still running these several years later. Of course, today I keep it where it can get light daily. In my case, there was no charge for this service, which is not to say yours will be the same. Ask them in your e-mail to them. In my case, it didn't make any difference, I had to get my $500.00 watch working again even if it cost some amount of $.

Thank you for your interest in FixYa.com

Hi, try http://watchbandsonline.com for replacement bands and parts. You may have to call them first for specific parts. Their phone number is 303-757-2245, and they are located in Denver, Colorado.

Making the Band Shorter
1. Step 1 Stand the bracelet up on its side. Look for arrows on the inside of the bracelet.
   
2. Step 2 Insert a small pointed tool from your hobby or watch set into the tiny holes on the edge of the bracelet. Insert the tool in the hole at the base of the arrow. You will see two holes on the edge of the band. Both pins need to be removed.
   
3. Step 3 Push the pin out with force in the direction the arrow is pointing. Repeat this process on the second pin. When the pins are removed the link will be loose.
   
4. Step 4 Remove the link from its neighbor and replace one pin to secure the bracelet.
   
Making the Band Longer
5. Step 1 Remove the link closest to the clasp by putting a small, pointed tool into the tiny hole on the edge of the watch band.
   
6. Step 2 Push the pin out so the link is detached from the clasp.
   
7. Step 3 Put a new link next to the detached link and line them up so a new pin can go through their holes and attach them together. You may need to snap them together depending on the type of Citizen bracelet you have.
   
8. Step 4 Place the pin into the hole on the edge of the band and push the pin through the band with your sharp tool to attach the two links.
   
9. Step 5 Repeat this process if you need to attach more than one link.
