My watch stopped working. It's been in a jewelry box for a few months, no exposure to light. What do I do?

Eco-drive watch should work for 1 year out of light. Take it out of the drawer and place in light, and check that the pin on the side is pushed in all the way.

HOW TO REPLACE BATTERY.

eco-drive watches have a special battery, this is something i that will be hard to find, but maybe you might get lucky online. Bring it to a jewelry store that sells them and save youself the trouble on this watch

Citizen Eco Drive WR100 has been in a closed jewelry case for over a year. How should I proceed in "recharging" the watch?

Eco Drives don't have batteries they have capacitors. The watch needs to be placed in natural light, sunlight is best, for a day or so. Here are the instructions from Citizen. It also gives information on resetting so it will work after recharging.

Works fine when under the light but stops when I wear it.

Your capacitor will needs to be replaced. This usually has to be done about every 5-8 years.

A "non" fully charged watch will sometimes "jump" seconds rather than indicate one second intervals. Charging these small solar panel watches takes forever, in BRIGHT sun. Have you tried leaving it outside, in the sunlight, for at least 12 hours?

First, be sure that the stem is fully pressed in. Pulling out the stem to set the watch stops the action.
The Eco-Drive is still a battery watch. It just has a solar/light powered recharge system built in. The battery will run down after a year of no light. Place the Eco-Drive in bright sunlight for a couple of days in order to recharge the built-in battery. You may recharge the watch in fluorescent light as well, it just takes longer.
