The factory has discovered a software anomaly in the calendar programming of the integrated circuit that affects some Skyhawk AT and other styles utilizing the U600 movement caliber produced in only 2007 for those watches receiving either the U.S. or Japanese time signals. Those customers receiving the German time signals or have pieces manufactured in other years are not affected . This anomaly inhibits the calendar from displaying the correct date from February 28, 2010 forward. Rest assured no other production series, feature, function, aesthetic portion or other Skyhawk series timepiece is affected.
While not all pieces are affected, we cannot readily identify those that are. As such, we are asking to update all pieces with a U600 movement and a serial number that starts with "7" to be updated. If your serial number begins with 7, and is not preceded by a small punched dot as outlined on the information sheet, we recommend you send the watch for a free software update of the integrated chip. Once your watch receives the software update, there will be a small dot punched on your caseback in front of the serial number. Our goal is to have your watch returned to you in two weeks once it is received by us.

I'll need more information about the watch. WR200 is not the model number. It is the depth in metres it is water resistant to. The serial number is usually engraved on the back plate of the watch. The bit against your skin when you're wearing it. It's the number marked in red in the photo I've attached. Is this a digital watch, a watch with hands or does it have both? Comment below with the serial number and I'll try to help you more.

Citizen Watches has a full and a simple instruction manual for the BL5400-52A on the product site: https://www.citizenwatches.com.au/products/bl5400-52a . Look on the right-hand side of the page below the Find a Retailer link. The current link to the Full Instructions is https://www.citizenwatch-global.com/support/pdf/e810/e.pdf I hope this helps.

when it doesnt power on

Adjust time date for eco drive wr100

Probably because it is gasket sealed. Have a read of this Tip I wrote. https://www.fixya.com/support/r27181038-changing_watch_batteries ..

Not available anywhere. Service Centre repair only. When you do the case gasket, you do the button gaskets at the same time. https://www.google.com/search?q=citizen+AT4010-50E+gasket ..

hi, I'm from Italy and changed the batteries just 2 days ago - theer are three batteries inside this watch - in a normal shop selling citizen watches.....
I think youhave just to change shop....

Georgi from researching this watch it utilises an eco drive it may have a capacitor that charges up from a light source. rather than a battery if it is not charging up the capacitor may be the problem. https://fixmywatch.co.uk/blog/why-we-dont-offer-a-battery-replacement-on-a-citizen-eco-drive/ the part number may be 295-6700

Do you still have it?

is it the battery, batteries are usually always the problem

Find their website & they will have a listing for international service centres.

The point of a radio-controlled watch is that you should not have to move the hands manually. It is meant to respond to a time signal send from various places in the USA, UK, Germany, Japan and (I think) China. The signal's strength varies considerably, depending on where you are located and the ambient temperature. It may need some application and persistence to get the watch synchronized with the signal, this will cause the hands to move to the correct local time - even then it may need correction if you are in a different UTC time zone or on Daylight Saving Time (DST) locally. Not knowing the make complicates the validity of any information. I have found that the sync signal is broadcast on the hour for about five minutes and is best received at night where the signal travels further. Ensure your watch is fully charged and leave your watch by a window overnight for best results. If you still have difficulty, use an internet search to find the nearest broadcast station to where you are and work out which direction-facing window is best sited to face it. I have two RC watches - one Citizen and one Casio. One likes to have the left side of the watch facing the window and the other favours the 12 o'clock facing the window, As I don't know the make of your watch I would recommend trying to place it in various orientations until you find one that works for you. I have found the whole set up performs best in cold air situations - and so are more reliable in the winter. Guessing further, If you bring up the signal display function it may force the watch into signal sync mode - always remembering the 'on the hour' signal broadcasts. You may also find a way of adjusting the hour to suit if it differs for you once it is synced.
