Contact Citizen directly.
Attach your thread post to the e-mail.
Be sure to include when/where you bought it, and a copy of the receipt
if you have it.
They'll most likely replace it under warranty.

So you are doing good methinks. It might settle down with time. You could take it to a watchmaker and see if they can regulate it, it may be possible to make it better, but it most likely will never run to COSC Chronometer standards.

My Tudor Black Bay is accurate to a few seconds per week, but it's a Certified Chronometer and cost several thousand dollars.

-20 to +40

If I would have known that, I would have gotten something else.

I'm ok with something being off but it MUST be consistent

I'm like that, too. I have cheap Quartz watches and they are accurate to within about ten seconds a month. When someone says what time it is and they are even a minute off, I tell them they are wrong, and even bet them my watch is more accurate.

Yeah, I'm that guy.

Seriously just got my Rolex back from service 3 weeks ago (big deal in this covid shit), and the time is dead on balls accurate. 8:18 on computer and on Rolex.

A Citizen Eco-Drive probably would have been a better choice for you.



I got this one back on January 3 and set it to the atomic clock. It has gained a touch less than ten seconds since then. It's amazing that a $300 watch can best a Rolex.....
