Frequently asked questions

Does Eco-Drive really mean it never needs a battery?

Eco-Drive captures any light through the dial and stores energy in a rechargeable internal cell. Citizen rates the cell to last decades, so for typical use you should never need to swap a battery.

Can I wear it swimming?

Yes, the 100m water resistance rating is rated for swimming and surface watersports. It is not designed for scuba diving or high-pressure activity.

What size wrist does it fit?

The 42mm case sits well on most adult wrists, and the leather strap fits roughly 6.5 to 8.5 inches. Sizing the strap with extra holes by a watchmaker is straightforward if needed.

Is it the same as the Citizen Weekender Garrison?

Citizen has used the Garrison name across several Eco-Drive field watches with slightly different cases and dials. This BM6838 model is the Sport Casual Garrison with the brown leather strap and blue dial, 42mm case.
