- Does the Citizen BM8475-00F need a battery?
- No. The Eco-Drive solar cell charges from sunlight or indoor light and stores power in a capacitor, so there is no battery to replace.
- Can I swim with it?
- Yes. It is rated 10 ATM (100m), which covers swimming and snorkeling. It is not rated for scuba diving.
- Does it have luminous hands?
- No. The hands and markers are not lumed, so reading the time in the dark is difficult.
- What size is the case?
- The stainless steel case is about 42mm across, which wears large on slim wrists.
- Is the strap easy to change?
- The polyamide strap uses standard spring bars, so it can be swapped for a leather or NATO strap with basic tools.
