Citizen Watch stopped running two months after purchase. Tried to replace battery but discovered it didn't have one that could be replaced. It is an Eco-drive and worn very infrequently.....
My Citizen Red Arrow wristwatch which I purchased last Christmas has a blank display and won't reset . Any ideas would be appreciated

Since it's eco-drive you can just wear it for a few hours and it should self-wind. The problem is that when it sits still for more than a few days it winds down. It gets its power from the natural movement of your wrist as you walk around.
Once it starts ticking again you'll just have to set the time correctly.

If there are screw on each side- you have to use two screwdrivers
simultaneously. If not- read the rest:
You may or may not have arrows
inside bracelet. Arrows are pointing the way the pins must come out.
First you have to find out what sort of pins or even screws are used to
keep links together. Examine both bracelet sides and find the side
where pin ends have a groove. Start
with a tiny screwdriver and unscrew one of the screws. If it turns, but
doesn't come out, that means you have a pins instead. For removing pins
the best would be pin removing tool (approx.5GBP on ebay), but it's
possible to do the job without it. Take
a hardened steel needle and blunt the sharp end to the approx. size of
pin end diameter using any sharpening stone or sandpaper. Get an old
towel and fold it to make a soft base for work (like small cusion). As
you don't have a special bracelet holder you will need a pair of
helping hands to hold the bracelet steady upright. You will need small
hammer and pair of flat nose pliers as well. NOTE: The pins MUST be
driven split end out first, not vice versa. Make sure that the grooved
pin ends are facing towel, not the needle and hammer!!! Now place
the watch on the folded towel, take that needle and smallest hammer you
have and start driving the pin out using light blows. Do Not hit hard,
as you will brake the needle, scratch your watch or even injure
yourself. Watchmakers are using 45 gram hammer, so, calculate your
strength of blows. After a few blows check if the split end is
coming out and when you see that the end is long enough to grab it with
pliers, pull the pin out with pliers. When pulling, do NOT turn pliers,
as pins tend to brake when twisted. Use firm grip and your strength to
pull the pin without twisting. After shortening the bracelet or
adding extra link(s) make sure that the pins go back EXACTLY the same
way as they came out- the blunt end first in the hole and the split
(grooved) end last. Before doing that check remaining pins in bracelet
to make sure that you put them back from the right side of bracelet. It
is recommended to use plastic hammer to drive pins back in or you will
scratch or damage bracelet. If plastic hammer is not available use an
old toothbrush handle (or some plastic item) as an absorber. Simply put
pin into the hole as deep as you can with your fingers, put the
toothbrush handle on split pin end and hit handle, not the pin. Make
sure that pin ends are flush with bracelet. If needed- hit few more
times. Job done! If you do not want to do it yourself, any jeweler will
do it in a matter of few minutes.
Don't forget to rate, please.
