replies: text: From experience, i have owned and used a Eco-drive piece for the last 15 years. It has had one servicing to replace the crystal, and to give the movements a cleaning. The battery itself was not touched and the piece runs almost as well today as it did when I got it. Seeing all other watches I have used require a battery change at least every 2 years.. Yes, the batteries last considerably longer.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.79.116.73 (talk) 23:25, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

text: The Promaster Eco-Drive AP0440-14F Diver's 200 m shown in the article manufactured in may 2000 still runs well on its original secondary battery as does another Promaster Eco-Drive AP0440-14F Diver's 200 m also manufactured in 2000.--Francis Flinch (talk) 07:03, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

text: My experience was that the battery in my Eco-Drive watch (used in an office environment year-round) had a life of about 30 months. When sent in and "Reconditioned" it lasted another six months before ceasing to charge even after whole days in direct sunlight.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.105.173.102 (talk) 04:40, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: So, what do Citizen charge for maintenance of these watches? My experience of a Seiko perpetual calendar watch is that the battery needs changing about every 7 years, at a cost of about 50 GBP (80 USD?) Moreover, the mechanism was knackered at the first change, which cost a further 80 GBP. You can't take these to a highstreet shop to change the battery as they are sealed under vacuum. Is this the case for Citizen too? 51kwad (talk) 04:53, 21 August 2014 (UTC)

thread_title: Battery lifetime

message: :Merging Eco-Drive to solar powered watch denies the fact that not all Eco-Drive watches were light powered. There were also temperature difference and hybrid powered models produced that were offered as Eco-Drive watches. The article name regarding fuel efficient driving is currently Fuel economy-maximizing behaviors.
:Citizen shop states; "At present, Citizen is the largest producer of watches and movements in the world. At present Citizen is currently most renowned for their Eco-Drive movement, which allows the watch to be powered by light as opposed to a standard battery (a solar powered watch in other words)." The Citizen Holdings Co., Ltd. article points out that the Eco-Drive line is a commercially successful product line. Tough always subject to personal points of view one can make a case that this line of mainly light powered watches by a major watch producer can be regarded as a notable product line since the producer stated that it made up 80% of their watch production in 2011.--Francis Flinch (talk) 13:21, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
